  1. Get a timber pallet from building site Put it on the roof have mate stand on it Few Big Tek screws screw from inside car into the pallet Job done... time for a beer
  2. Cheers for that, I feel so much better about all the livies that iv'e missed fish on. It can be ****ing FRUSTRATING can't it!!! I just use a circle hook as a lip piecing The head crushers are aliens just messing with you
  3. I tend to buy mid priced reels you can get some quality gear for $100-$150 Then I service myself bail rollers seem to be most of my problems Might get another fin nor lethal 100 for spares & extra spool Awesome heavy duty reel $128 The free Rapala reel with 30lb braid from fish mag has exceeded my expectations Very smooth drag great feel & has accounted for lots of big fish 7ft bronzy, big gummies snaps etc
  4. Keep the moisture absorb packs from food put them in or dry out rice if you don't like inox
  5. All yours Rybak there are plenty of fish waiting for you... Sit down for 20 mins Daninozz & quietly throw some berley near the pontoons & observe the fish amazing how many fish are in there Maybe you are spooking them by flogging the water rather than hunting the fish
  6. I use bait n berley if I want fillets & lures when I've found the fish The further away from Pt Adelaide the better Plenty of fish around look for the structure Think like a fish
  7. corn "flakes", curry powder, bread, aniseed, bran, chook pellets & tuna oil. & maybe the neighbors cat? Looking at the vid Doobie may be about to add an extra dose of his magic potion
  8. The Nautic Star looks a beast for the price but would be a one town boat. I have always liked the Kevlacat 2400 twin 140 Suzuki's for a towable offshore large boat
  9. buy another lure see if that works You will need spares anyway
  10. Yeti gear is expensive but well designed & built I took 3 months to get a 4L drink bottle wasn't paying retail... SSSOOOO happy I eventually got it. 4l thermos on a 40deg day working in the sun best drink bottle I've seen For fishing I use a salt saline solution in 6 X 1.25L bottles & few bags ice to make a super cold ice slurry for fish Usually I get frostbite while filleting lol
  11. No idea if any good but you will get help here. What areas do you fish?
  12. Stainless meat blade for my 18v recipro... Job done https://adelaidetools.com.au/accessory-shop/recipro-blades/milwaukee-stainless-steel-400mm-sawzall-meat-blade-1-pack-48001083.html
  13. 700 kg of shavings that's a big pile...
  14. Why bother with the leader? If I was running light mono I would go straight to lure Just another weakness in the line only 2lb extra anyway knots in light line can be trouble
  15. I was looking at the BG's pretty good bang for buck
  16. Hi Fishoes I just got my new r type 6500 $89 delivered with 2 yrs of fishing porn I was after a beach reel for lures salmon etc I don't think this is the one.. A heavy beast more suited to deep reefs etc out in the boat I think Anyone used one before or any opinions? What reels do you recommend for long casts & high speed lures Probably 15lb braid spare spool would be great...
  17. Dark diver or skirt run short in prop wash has most of my tuna while trolling I will use a big purple mackerel skirt next time as lots of 40 cm schools of macs where i tried on snap opening day Duel adagio 125g with single hook casts a mile on 20lb for surface fish. Yozuri mag minnow white red head 55mm was unstoppable when feading on whitebait one time 5 fish to 0 Good luck
  18. I make an awesome christmas treat make chocolate ice magic melted choc with little bit of oil line silicon tit molds freeze icecream with Drambuie mix in christmas pudding Into moulds cap with chocolate freeze Take out to soften before serving on hot day
  19. I only use a few meters mono leader not a top shot on my egg beaters Presume you setting up for medium - BIG tuna with lures What length & size are you trying to use? I try to go lighter leader as tuna teeth rarely cut leader but they can be shy & heavy leaders will also restrict action Go get em knackers
  20. The prawn trawlers get them regular bycatch I think more common spencer gulf Used to get 5kg box $50 but those days are gone
  21. The okuma's have come a long way. I wanted one of there lever drags but got a penn 50vsx second hand The Makaira spin reel is on my want list too now
  22. My t-curve & 3500 hd certate must be at around 10yr old now it is 1 piece There must be lots of quality rods around these days It has had a rough life bouncing around in the boat hope I get a few more years out of it
  23. I might have same as Gregtech T-curve tournament snapper 5-8kg favorite lucky stick deep water whiting, snapper, deep reef lures, casting lures at tuna etc & even a few sharks
