Wasn't even on my fishing session yet! So this was fairly annoying, i was getting ready at home wen I was unpackaging some new salmon lures and I was trying to cut off the zip tie off the treble that held the cardboard packaging on and I yanked it pretty hard and the treble went straight into my right index finger. Was really painful until I got the metal lure off, tried my heart to pull it out with pliers but wouldn't budge, plus pain was a fair bit while doing that, so went to the hospital got an X-ray and turns out the hook point was 2 mm into the bone so that's why I couldn't pull it out.

Head locks are the way to go! Was catchin easy 10 to 12lb salmon with 20lb braid fully locked up and didn't bend one! Man those salmon fight hard wen you lock up the drag from the boat, couple even snapped the 20lb braid!

I believe the seaweed may be from the high winds we had over the last couple of days! Usually get it washing up after storms etc!! Can't see the weather/ wind havin an effect on baby leatheries ,also the baby dolphins plus I've seen puffer fish and heard some silver whiting have washed up also and now a report of a 70cm snapper! Are they all a coincidence or something bigger? I hope not...... Maybe if it was just the 1 species being effected It could be a desease in just that 1 species, but for these other fish/ dolphins to wash up makes me think something more to this story!

Pretty sure at the trolling speed you want to do with a paravane makes it dive around 7-8 m deep so you can't troll too shallow I usually won't go lower than 10 m deep with a paravane plus I've never had one on a rod they have too much weight/drag/pull or watever while trolling so I've only had them on handlines, then tie off to your rear cleats and sit and wait for the paravane to pop up!! Easy

Plastics this summer from the boat has completely smashed any metal or hb I've tried ! Ya do loose a few to bite offs but your getting heaps more hits etc!!! A few plastics I use are the squidgy poddy mullet around 80mm size , drop bear think that's the name of it , white one with orange throat and a black spot! Anything in pilchard colour should work! Try get the stealth pro bream jig heads coz they have a longer bigger hook so less bite offs! You can change up your retrieve from a slow wind to normal twitches and pause, as most hits are on the pause as its sinking back down just watch your

Shouldn't it be black with a red stripe then?? Lol

Don't forget the snapper wings!!!!! My fav recipie is just make up a normal salt pepper flour mix, coat the wings with your mix then brush with nice olive oil then bake in the webber for around 45 minutes!!!! Sounds like a long time but all good! usually chuck them in while we cooking a whole pansized at same time!So moist n deliciousness!!!

Where's the pic of this bream then? Surely if you know your fishing you would know this is a rare, rare capture!! And there for the first thing u would do is take a picture............... Especially if you took a picture of a shovel nose shark the same night! Assuming they were caught the same night ? People just want proof! And are you sure it was a yellowfin and not a black bream? Just confirming !!!!

Just a warning guys, that there has been a lot of car break ins at the ramp last two weeks, 3 cars last night and not sure on how many last Thursday but was a few also! It's been the cars that have been there overnight getting done, smashed windows , ransacked etc...... Bloody c@&k heads! Why do this ? Hope they get caught. Maybe for this busy period security should be provided, this has been going on for two weeks now and nutting has been done! Surely cop cars every half to and hour doin a patrol is NOT unreasonable is it???? One guy had his two baby seats in the back of the car with sma

Yeah interesting about the schools!!!!! Got a couple stragglers this mornin. I got my girlfriend onto her first snapper today at 86cm , so she was stoked as, couldn't wipe the smile off get face plus her sore arms, lol then the old man landed a perfect webber sized of 63cm that was cooked up tonite Thai style and completely devoured ! Love fresh snapper!!!Cheers lord fisher!

Red head/ white body lumo yozuri is the best one I use,great during day great during the night! 2 in one lol

Spot on there jack! I'm not sure why the comment about we are all guilty of some sort of illegal fishing was made! I would hope that most fishers go by the rule book coz they are smart enough to realise this Is how we will have fish for the future!!!!

Yes true but there's not much out there except snapper the odd shark and slimy macks, so unless they are going for those last two species, why be out there?????????? For all we know that's wat these boats could have been going for but highly unlikely and suss if you ask me!!!!!

Got to o sullies ramp late today for a quick snook flick and a snorkel around some reefs today. As I was putting the boat in the water today the shop guy was on the ramp saying there was a snapper floating in the marina and was just letting people know ir was there, I thought oh yeah could have been a decent one! As we started to leave the ramp we motored over to it and it was a 10 kg specimen! My blood started to boil .... It was fresh too! Some knob head must have caught it kept it and the come into the marina and dumped it, in thinking fisheries must have been there and then these douche b

All I know is, there is a small window of time that is actually fishable as the current rips thru there! Youll prob get smashed by snapper too lol!!! I also would like To hear any info on this area as it is a huge area to find the fish! I'll be watching this thread! Cheers
