I have seen one in the small independent tackle store in port adelaide that might meet your needs. I dont know the name / brand but I can look it up and post back a little later. Seen a yaker using the same one to land a 80 model schoolie so they must be reasonable.

Cheers mate.👍

I've got a big version of these.  Not sure if would suit your situation?

Rod

Thanks Rod.

That's a very interesting design. I would prefer it to fold down aswell to reduce the length.

cheers.

G'day fishos,

I am after some advice on where to source a collapsible/travel landing net. Preferably it would collapse completely and live in a small case/tube.

Any help is much appreciated.

Cheers pp.

Hey! That's my favourite colour/pattern as well. The next would be the humble Neptune brand ones in lime green. Catch heaps of squid on these.

Great minds Squid think alike. 

Good luck on Monday Noz. Not too many being caught down there this morning.

The more I squid fish the less I believe colour make a difference. My go to at the moment recently caught squid at night, in the middle of a sunny day, in murky as water and in crystal clear water. So I'm not sure those colour charts for certain colours at certain times on bright/dull days are not worth a crock of shit. Just my humble opinion.😉 

As said before get the jig down into the zone the Squid should be lurking is probably the most important factor.

Emeraldas Nude Mango Shrimp, my go to ATM, pulling them out this morning.😉

 

 

 

Thanks for the feed back lads.

 

I ended up popping into BCF on the way home and picked up the rod Kman suggested, the Road Runner 6-10kg, on sale for $89! Nice.

 

If it gets wet I'll put a post up in a couple of weeks.

 

Cheers.

Love it! Great video and fishing mate!

Thanks Jimmy.

Cheers Southie.

I have a light weight Slingshot, which I got from you guys a few years ago, and I love it. Might see who sells them up this way.

Thanks for the input mate.

Thanks Kuerschie.

Thought you might be able to give some quick advice. I'll have a look tomorrow.

Cheers

G'day all,

 

Going to be in the Northern Territory again for a couple of weeks with work. Will not have much time, if any to fish, so was not going to bother taking any gear, but now thinking if the chance does arise then I'll be kicking myself if I don't have a set up with me.

 

I snapped the last heavier travel rod I took up there last time, so I'm looking for advice on a decent travel rod to flick lures around in Barra country for under $200. Probably matched to a 4000 Aernos.

 

I'm off on Saturday morning, so I need to go shopping tomorrow arvo.

 

Thanks in advances for any advice.😊

If you do any good let us know

The white one with the black spot I've used never a touch .

Mickyj don't write those SPs off mate. I would not have choosen to buy them myself, but a mate gave them to me to try and they have been doing real well. Will definitely make sure I have them in my SP arsenal!😉

 

From a recent flick.

Some nice looking SPs there. I love using the Squidgy Fish and Whipbaits for Flatties. Bream and Trouties will smash them too... even in the 100mm size.😉

 

between baby sitting grandies I was thinking about walking Snowdens with my first attempt at soft plastics. thoughts?

 

Do it mate, you'll love it. Possibility of Flatties, little KGW, Bream and ST's. The rocks at the marina entrance hold some good Bream that love plastics, but it is a snag fest area. Good luck.

Yeah I went there and was surprised it's all closed off will make it interesting trying to get the kayak down there

Yep for sure. Maybe easier to drop in at the end of Veitch Rd and paddle/pedal up.

There was a dirt road the went down to the river at the far end of the SUB Base and Power plant, even had a round cul de sac at the end...

 

Has that been closed off ?

 

Haven't been down that way in a few years now ...

 

SF

Yep that has been closed too, but you can walk from that entrance.

The bank eroded naturally ages ago. The LB access has been shutdown since that happened. The Mutton Cove wetlands are enjoying a more natural existence ATM. Hopefully someone stumps up some cash to fix the pathway/embankment and it goes back to the way it was. You can still access the area LB, but you need to do a bit more walking.

If i'm traveling with rods, they will always go in my rod tube...   My fishing gear is like family

That's some fishing porn right there!

Thanks for all the replies, suggestions and offers of help. Much appreciated.

 

I'll have a go at doing it myself, after a bit of research, and will let you know how I go.

 

Cheers.

Rob at South Oz Rods on Mullers Rd. put a new tip on my unused Ocea 732, after casting "imaginary" stickbaits into "imaginary" bustups and smacking the tip into the concrete floor  . Stupidity pain is so different to "hammer onto thumb" pain  . Cost of repair was $20 and it looked like new..

Haha, sounds like the type of thing I'd do.

 

At least it sounds like stupidity is not going to be to costly.

Think of the wonderful memories! Haha but seriously they look like they could be re tipped? Although they'd never be the same again....

 

You're making me weep, again...

 

I had thought about getting the Venom Death Adder re tipped, but probably wouldn't bother with the Dynamix. Need to look into who does that kind of thing and cost etc...

It has taken me a few weeks of mourning to post this pic'!  

 

I managed to snap the tips off both my bream rods, a Venom Death Adder and a Dynamix Bream, which were in the car on a fairly recent road trip to Marion Bay. Depressingly all my own fault!

 

R.I.P. my friends.

 

you'll go blind eating bream 

                cheers b

Haha. Heard that said about a few things!

 

I am a bit funny about keeping them now , as for one ,I now know how old a decent fish is ,and they are not around like they used to be years ago , but a great fish to catch .

 

 

Exactly my reason too.

Thanks gents. Yeah I know all the reasons for not taking Bream... But nothing wrong if fishos want a feed of Bream, especially the sea run specimens.

 

I scrolled down the topics in 'In the Kitchen' to find the last one I took in 'Cooking with coals'... 15 March 2016.

Funny Spanish name for baked Bream with capsicum, chilli and potatoes. I don't normally keep Bream (2/year maybe), but they are a tasty treat every so often. 🐟😍

 

 

Cheers.
