Just a heads up guys. Came across an instagram account tonight masqurading as a young lady who fishes adelaide hills creeks and streams for trout.
None of her photos are Legit, and a reverse image search revealed at least one of the photos she is claiming as her own is actually one of Meppsta's (I presume)
 
The account is https://www.instagram.com/ruzzomelissa/ if anyone wants to check it out for any of there own pictures.
 
Meppstas stolen photo is from this article https://www.tasfish.com/135-rivers/mersey-river/2454-good-spin-session-in-tannin-waters-22-9-2017
 
 
If you aren't fussed, thats cool, but this sort of thing really grinds my gears

We just bought my son a spiney leaf insect for his bday
interesting little creatures

With the new laws in place for PFD's I had a browse through the suppliers "rewards" and found this. 
Cost me $0.00, no need for govt. voucher exchange and didn't leave the office. 3 clicks on the mouse and 2 days later delivered to my desk.
Would have used as the Squid Queens birthday present but she works in the same building 

Bought a couple of commercial quality knives and an iki jime spike.  Victory 220mm and 250mm blades.  I found it hard to get this quality locally, MBSA doesn't have much stock to choose from and couldn't find any elsewhere of brands I would seeking.
The spike looks good, I had bought a hookem version but it's not straight and not really to my liking now I've tried it, this one is a chinese one but looks solid
Cheers

Plan is Squid, KGW and Crabs local in close.

As a part b'day present from my fiancé and a present to myself I went out and got a new toy on the weekend, it's a thing of beauty so I had to share 
13 Fishing Envy Black 7'1" with 2500 Stradic Ci4+ running 8lb Daiwa TD Sensor braid. It's a pity I'm working this Sunday or I'd be trying it out down at Onkastompa! 

The prawn trawlers get them regular bycatch I think more common spencer gulf
Used to get 5kg box $50 but those days are gone

It can be productive, I reckon it's about time I hit up again 
 
About time I actually went fishing again, it's been far too long!

Inox is what I use to maintain my fishing gear, the spray, the grease & the oil & have done for years & am very happy with the results I have had
 

 
Inox MX3 spray, I don't spray this directly onto my reels. I spray this on a chux & wipe my reels over (do not like getting anything on my line), I wash my gear after every outing & only re-do it when I notice the water not beading after washing the reels down (aprox 4-5 outings) I find it doesn't dry out or put a sticky film on my gear.
 
Info on the spray
 
Description:
Inox mx3 is a multi-purpose anti-moisture and anti-corrosion spray lubricant. It is non-conductive, non-corrosive, non-toxic, non-staining and non-static. It doesn’t dry out or wash off with water. Inox contains no acid, silicon, kerosene or dieseline. It is so benign it can be used around food. It is also ideal for siezed nuts or screws, freeing up hinges, door locks, as a cutting or tapping & other machining agent. As the product is non-conductive, it is ideal for removing moisture from car distributor, switches, potentiometers, solenoids, etc.
 

 
Inox MX6 grease, I use the grease during reel servicing
 
info on the grease
 
Inox Mx6 Food Grade Grease
Extreme Pressure, Hi Temp, Food Grade Machinery Grease with PFTE
• Food Grade Approved
• Smooth light brown grease
• Protects against corrosion and oxidation
• Does not affect rubber
• Temp range -30 to extremely high temps (no melting point)
• Extremely pressure tolerance
• Suitable for bearings, bushes, chains, hinges, sprockets, slides, splines, conveyor belts and more
• Suitable for O rings in potable water applications and O rings & seals on diving gear
 
 

 
I use the MX5 oil when I'm servicing my reels or whenever I need to oil any part of them, often I will put a drop on the line roller to keep it free. I find the injector needle great to get oil to hard to get at areas without doing a full reel strip down 
 
info on the oil
 
INOX  mx5 - 30 ml bottle plus mx 5 injector will keep your Replicas working and looking like new.
Use the mx5 injector needle to deliver lubricant to the working parts of your replica. Then rub over the external surface with mx5 using a soft cloth.
Inox mx5 contains no carcinogens halogens or allergens. It is non toxic, non static, non conductive, noncorrosive and non staining. Doesn't gum up, become gooey or sticky, dry out or wash off with water. Will not harm metal surfaces, paint or enamel finishes, plastics, fiberglass, formica or neoprene seals.

I do not work for Inox, but we do sell it in-store

Heard good things about the tackle guard product over the years. An old mate used to use it.
Like the other boys inox has been my go to on my reels and the lanox spray which is a lanolin and inox blend is gold on the reel seats on your rods as it doesn't wash off also.I Also use light machine oil on moving parts of my reels too. Pays to look after ya gear as good gear isn't cheap these days.

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

Really hard to say as so dependent on your boat
lots of trying angles BEFORE cutting holes...

Could probably order new tip $$$
Or
Clean up the break
heat glue in the tip
Re glue tip onto your new boat rod😅

Is that for zombies?

Bought a new Iki jime tool today, pretty good I think.   
Cheers

Got the green light on some decent seats for the tinny today. Never hesitate when you get the green light. Hahaha!!! Some nice finishing touches for the tinny.

Not saying this is related but was talking to an acquaintance who was fishing with a friend at the cape for snapper when they saw tuna busting up.  They put out 1 rod each, the friend with a brand new lure.  After the friend had hooked 3 tuna and failed to bring any to the boat, the skipper asked to have a look at the lure.  It still had the plastic protective case over the trebles, once removed, the fish came in to the boat  
Cheers

My experience is that finding them is the hard part, then drag anything in their vicinity with a hook in it and your on 
This year, we stopped after one successful trip, but that trip started with a triple hook up and after that we couldn't get a second lure in the water before the first one had hooked up for the next 3 fish.   Also we were using lures that are pretty banged up after 3 seasons without changing them.
That was the 3rd attempt from memory and many km's covered previously.   Never fished for barrels though, which I expect is a whole different kettle of you know what 
Cheers
