  5. Rising damp looks like bottom 3 courses have been repointed hopefully injected to stop moisture. Needs to have a fresh coat of render...

  9. Try to find a spot that the youngster can't see the playground Berley up so kids see fish Go with the flow & try different ideas when kids lose interest Change to a softy or lure Fishing with kids is not always a relaxing afternoon Have fun the kids REALLY ENJOY just spending time alone with you

  12. I'm a bit pedantic about my ice slurry. 1.25 coke bottles full of fresh frozen water for ice. "emergency water supply" 2L coke full frozen sea water for deep chill in fish slurry frames, crab shells & prawn shells minced up & Chicken pellets into burley logs to fit berley pot I need to stop being so tight & refreezing bait all the time Would like to go halves in big block IQF & small squid!

    Crab nets

    shame about the 25 kn winds Wahoo Sounds like plenty of sea life around
  18. Trust your nose as we evolved to dislike off smells The port has been a toxic waste dump since white man first sailed in there Great spot for getting bait & fishing for fun People will tell you that "resident fish change colour & others are ok" The same people will say West End is a top beer LOL
  19. That makes sense Booma I am used to taking people on my boat that insist on using those snaps Then are surprised when they fail on the first big fish
  20. Booma your rigs look good but I would cut off the crappy snap swivel Looks like the weakest link
  21. On the 16 dec got tuna off Jarvis & Ale hooned back to work the afternoon shift
  22. use one of those snapper style floats with the lead on the bottom tie a bit of wool on the main line to set the depth, check a knot site how to tie it. Let the float sit on a swivel to cast then tie ya leader to the swivel with a hook on it, a foot leader should do and it's then like having an un-weighted bait sitting in the water best of luck mate cheers chuck I have heard that is a good way to fish Goolwa for mullies
