What was so "Great" about that?

Great stuff..... I've watched this come together from day 1 and I tip my hat to you and all those involved, Well played sir!

Hand lines for Squidding.....4 on my boat to cover an area quickly and effectively to get your limit.

Do your rigging in the rigging area..... Not on the ramp.When launching your boat pull it to the rear of the pontoon so others can also launch.When retrieving pull it to the front of the retrieval lane pontoon.Look for priority lane times for launching and retrieving.(West Beach has signage)Don't leave anything out in the open and check out who's around the pontoon just in case.I've never had a problem and launch solo 95% of the time.Say hello to people and they'll keep an eye on your boat.Good Luck.

Specialty Meats 8a West Thebarton Rd Thebarton is the place you need.

The new Penn Prevail surf rods are good value rods at the moment.....Light weight/Graphite Blanks/K Series Guides.$179.

These are apparently available at a tackle shop in Cavan......it's not SFS.

Yeah it wasn't to bad to be honest.Ive got an electric motor on the boat with a function called "Spot Lock" so I put the leccy down go back to my seat( it has a remote) and watch my mark then press the Anchor button.It works off an internal GPS and will hold me there all day.In saying that though I looked over to another boat 40 odd metres away and every now and then you saw just there torso's the chop was that big.I thought the blokes back at the ramp would of thought we were a bit loose in the brain box.It was good to see what the boat could handle though and I think that was the limit..... Lol

Hey Protactic' date=' did you launch from WB?Was that you in the colourful bream boat heading out with your mate in the not so colourful bream boat?[/quote']Hahaha.... Yeah mate.

Hard to say but In those conditions ie. 20/25kph wind and strong current it was doing well.The remote has a scale of 1 to 10 for power output and it was sitting around 3 1/2.So not that hard......and I didn't move off the mark the whole time.The MinnKota has a "Maximiser" which means its really efficient.I run 2 batteries for my electric so I'm pretty safe power wise.

Was met at the ramp at 5:30 am by my mate and 6 or so other boats parked up in the rigging area.Both my mates and my boats could be best described as "Estuary" type boats and with a reasonable chop your gonna get wet.After initially wanting to bail I decided to push out but vowed if I got 1 wave over the bow of my boat I was turning around.What would normally be about a 10min run took about 30min but I took it real easy.The minn Kota was deployed and "Spot Lock" engaged and we were away.The boat handled the swell/chop well considering.After making a few Jighead weight adjustments I had a good snapper on board measuring 76•5 cm and weighing 5kg.With that it was a slow cruise in and homeski.[attachment]image.jpg[/attachment]

Too hard.....never had to do that before.Why now?BTW Pls use the PM option for your helpfull snapper tips and not this thread.Thanks

Went out lunchtime Friday.Fish were AGGRESIVE and schooled up.Lost 4 Fish and eventually boated 2.I was landing these fish on 8lb before the ban but had to upsize my leader.ZMan Grubz did the damage.

signs are still there even spray painted on the pavement seems like no one gives a toss anymore.

No-one ever did.......there's a bloke who lives (well when I fished it regularly) in the townhouse there and he had the council snoozer on speed dial.There were a few recalcitrants who would get blind drunk and piss and dump rubbish in his pool.They will never stop people from fishing there or remove dickheads from society.......there here to stay.

Bagged out this morning quickly.Good to see a bit of size to them.So big I had to net them.

Please Explain......

Where can I buy Rock Salt in Bulk 1 kg plus lots?Cheers

Pacific Marine for lubricants.Whitworths for Specific Boating stuff.Sports Fishing Scene/Ray and Anne's for tackle.Mylureshop.com.au/fishin.com.au for lures/leader etc.

28/10:Early start for a good result.Christened the new Shimano Aero 4000 with a bag.

My old mate who I attribute my Snapper captures to talks about the Moon being like a big bowl and there are certain times of the Moon phase when the "Bowl" is tipping its contents out :dry: ?He then went on to tell me that there were Snapper in that "Bowl" and they would fall into my boat .I have to admit there was a strong odour coming from the back of the vessel during this lesson but due to the amount of fish "falling" into my boat at the time via my fishing rod I failed to investigate said odour.
