Top looking feed Tri!

Great idea Bjorn! Should be some cracking reports to read.

Nice work hazfish. :clap:

Don't know where people getting the idea there's not many rays around...

Got smoked this morning by a flying carpet! Whole Tommie did the trick. Not the target, but always a buzz as line peels off with the crazy power!

the footy tips site is Busted

I think they had a few issues last weekend, so have credited everyone with the correct tips for last weekend, but seems all good now. So those that did well last weekend should be pissed off, and those who stuffed up should be laughing!

As said, there are plenty of Rays in the Port River. We were consistently getting 1 - 3 hook ups per session, when we were having a go at targeting them. Some epic battles, but this is the only one we landed. We were only using 4000-6000 sized spin reels with 20 - 30lb braid. :whistle: Good luck.

Awesome video madlure! Thanks for sharing.

If you are after a feed my advice would be to concentrate on your most local area. Learn how to fish it and reap the rewards. There are locals on every beach, jetty, rock wall, marina, lake, dam ....... from the Onka to north of St Kilda that will confidently fish an area for a feed. Just a bit of time and knowledge and you'll laughing mate, plenty of metro LB fish to had. Good luck.

Luv it Alex. Great video and photos! And some really nice Bream. Won't be long before you crack that 40cm mate.

G'day mate. Your post suggested beach fishing, but if u r keen to fish off the rocks then the NH and OH rocks can be a reel hoot! This time of year Gar and Bream are good options. Good luck mate. PM me if you like!

Nice work on the PB codez. Nothing wrong with taking a feed mate especially a Flattie feed.

Cracking video Weaver. Your son is going to be out fishing in no time, his confidence in the boat is a credit to you. Some great fish too!

Top work and footage Alex and James. Love the excitement in James's voice and face. I'm just guessing, but I think you guys might be chasing a few more Mulloway! :silly:

Hi Bjorn,For me, when I used to have my SP mojo on, Squidgy Wrigglers Bloodworm 80mm and Zman Grubs Motoroil for Bream and FlatheadandSplit tails or flick baits for Salmon and Snook. Favourite is the light green Hollow Belly Split Tail. Always use S-factor, whether it really works or not is anyones guess!

Nice work Alex. Great to watch you and your mates getting into a few! :f Cheers.

Just 'liked' this on FB. Awesome photo.

i guess i was just surprised as i never thought of gar as a predatory fish. We all use gents to catch them of course but whenever i gut them I've only every noticed weed in them. What do they eat normally and what do they they think the gents are?

From my very limited understanding, and from a non scientific view point, they're bottom feeders, mainly weed during the day, but at night they will feed on small critters near the surface. Your surface burley will get them to the top level of water, day or night, and depending on multiple factors they will feed freely on whatever you offer, or you'll be scratching your head wondering why they will not bite, sooooo many theories. :whistle: I don't fish with gents anymore. I think the theory is they like the scent and the movement as they wiggle, but not so convinced. Good luck if you chase them with SPs.

Never hooked one up myself, but have watched Gar follow all sorts of lures, so you'd think if they are competing hard enough for a feed it would happen, like Boyo said. One of the fishing shows had a segment where they were chasing Tommies off the beach with a cut down straw on a long shank hook and they got a few big Gar with this set up, so.....Fishie, I think, suggested cutting off Flick Bait tails and using them if you run out of bait, but thats a slightly different method of SP fishing! :silly:

Smashing it mate, well done.

Finally got round to making a better and safer place to store the fishing rods. Works for me!

My SP set up is 6lb leader to 6lb braid on a Shimano Sedona 1500 match to a 2-4kg Dynamix Bream rod or a 2-4kg Venom Death Adder.

could even change the direction of the thread and ask what is the biggest/heaviest fish you have landed on the lightest gear' date=' whether that be mainline or leader or both. [/quote']A few LB PBs on this SP set up.Flathead @ 51cmSnook @ 80cmBream @ 41cmSalmon @ 47cm. An oldie, but this is what got me hooked on light weight SP fishing.Good luck with it mate. Cheers.

Nice work mate. Fantastic fish and PB. Love that first photo, can imagine your excitement when you saw what was waiting for you, did well to stop and take a photo!

see ya at haven pommy' date=' still tossing up saturday or sunday!?[/quote']Just checked Meteye this morning and the conditions are slightly worse for both days, gonna keep an eye it and see how it develops, might need to change it to land based session! Sunday morning is no good for me as the conditions on Saturday night are looking awesome for a serious session! :silly:

First time I've seen this off the bom site. Clicked on the North Haven area and came up with the usual weather info, then clicked on the 'detail' box and you get temps, wind direction, wind speed and combined swell info for 8 different times during each day! Very helpful http://www.bom.gov.au/australia/meteye/?loc=SA_MW011So going on Saturdays details the Tinny might get wet in the morning and back in by before 10.30am.
