any more news.. was in lincoln on the weekend but didint get a chance to check the wharf.

fished the rocks with nev and softy n the weekend.. 3 alveys.. hmm loved the sound as we landed some rock snaps!

yeah saw it last week wondered the same thing..

ive got the maxkon as well. they fit it fine. im awaiting a delivery of bags. and have orderd too many (oops) so thought id pass a few rolls on around here knowing a few people have these machines. I paid $18 for a roll of bags at Giganis brothers yesterday.. as mine havnt arrived yet.

love my vac sealer!i will be selling between 4 and 6 x6m rolls of vacuum bags soon.. 10$ a roll.. if anyones keen. i too hated freezing fish for periods of time. now get a safe 6-9months instead of 3 months!and great for freezing bait no smells!!!!

Got a Gurnard when out Prawn trawlin many moons ago.. " Happy moments" nasty lil fekers. watched my brother get a saltwater catfish in the hand.. screamed for nearly 8 hrs.. My mother took a redback in the hand for me.. as a kid i was playing with it. she pushed me out of the way and it bit her.

popularity wise.. of course some shinny new diamond encrusted 5000000ballbearing spinning real with a million$$ of advertisement behind it will outsell the good old fashioned hand winch that the alvey is Alveys key points are its suitability to robust fishing styles such as beach and rocks. as for its its casting ability, really is amazing in comparison to my spinning reals. My thoughts about your casting abilities with an alvey... you need some work if you cant out cast an overhead/spinning real with a suitably set up alvey and its matched rod.Alveys dont have the gloss of a modern

Ausea i got a good laugh from your posts.. i know many a man who fishes day in day out with a alvey bait fishing all day long.. my step father was my influence in fishing. hence my love of alveys to this day. he still uses a 450/500 series alvey for all forms of table fishing from whiting on running rigs to garfish on pencil floats and even fishing completely unweighted he can cast further than many people using floats.as for lure casting, yes they arnt geared up like a modern day spin reel to make it easier. but i have still been lure fishing for salmon for hours with those around me casting

ive got a barra model 5-10kg.. when we catch up i can bring it along for a looksy its my yak based heavy rod

Ive got x6.. mostly 650c's 651s and 650bs love them on big rods and fish.. matched up to snyders and wilsons and buttorworths from 12-14"rods

they can anchor it elsewhere.. not always at the wharf.. no dramas there... its not allowed to fish. but it can translocate if needed

keep in mind.. live bait has to be legal size... ;)thats a hell of a bluey to stick on a hook!

AF.. i grew up in Kellidie.. hit me a PM if you want.. my parents still live on the beach.. ;)tis my dream retirement place.. hopefully my family will still own the shack/house down there. As Softy would agree... we have spent many a week down there.. but never enough time to really do it justice. my best Gummy shark is off that beach.. my brothers best snapper 28lb is also off the beach.. with king fish and snapper schools frequenting the area.. it can be a great place to be

hmm grilled flounder.. used to get heaps on the sand flats of coffins/kellidie/dutton bay..

place i camp at on night #9 is actually a site for Hairy Marron and smooth shell marron.. but its legally off limits due to fishing

well damit Archerfish.. its me best mate Softy posting a thread.. knew there was a reason we was mates... Jack.. feel free to delete or merge threads.. im well on my way to happiness in a fantastic bottle of wine.. thought i had a new thread!musta been on me travels as Jack mentioned.. and no.. not had Marron yet.. though i do plan too! i travel past the Giant Marron in Wa every month...

cooked up Kangaroo tonight.. My Dutch GF absolutely loves it... and i must say.. dam... it was good tonight!

What do you Rate the best on the tooth??for me theres a few that rate high...From the Salt,Cobia Flat headLeather JacketsGummy Sharkdont think id ever say no to catching a good feed or being offered a good feed of these guys..in the freshRed Fin.

grego.. i put flatties at the top of my list leatheries are also high... Cobia.. hmmmmmgot me thinking... new thread time!

saw the link a while back.. not really news.. dude catches shark.. dude releases shark.. no one got hurt.. news????oh thats right.. its interstate.. if it was SA the beach would be closed and the fisherman jailed and gear confiscated for using larger than a 5/0 hook during day light..

congrats mate. sounds like a short and sweet session!

probably the best bicatch possible apart from a legal mullie

got its bigger sister.. 5-10kg paired with a sol3000 for one of my yak snapper set ups.. or boat set ups.. or.. when ever i feel like it... had the weight of a good sized red on it out on the yak last month only to spit the hooks at me loved it!

you are buying a lot of gear Yorke hopefully the catches match the input costs

have been known to do a 1kg steak challenge in 12 minutes.. after a dozen oysters kilpatric and a plate of salad..then again.. was a member of a steak club called Dead Cow Appreciation Society... ;)hence eating top rated steaks at every place in adelaide that advertised " best steaks in adelaide"
