  1. There's always one, but thought your Patrol could this. Obviously it couldn't do everything Look forward to seeing all the photos - good luck, especially for a Cod
  2. I could do with one of those machines, but need to catch the fish first
  3. The pressure ... I don't need the pressure Good luck
  4. Like you Mike .... everyday is a long weekend But I rarely go away anywhere anyway, so will just do some Salmon flicking locally.
  5. Certainly a well used lure with some life still left in it I hope you have a spot on your trophy cabinet for when it retires
  6. Great video and product for the Snapper. I have heard a lot about boaties needing and using release weights but I never knew how they worked - now I do
  7. You'll be a busy man soon Southie ... oh, and remember to spray them all with Glen 20 when you receive them
  8. Sorry to hear the back and hip isn't doing the best at the moment Adrian. Must be too much trout fishing in those rivers taking its toll But I would have hoped, as you would have, after around 3 weeks without any fishing in the rivers that the body may have recovered a little better. Hope the results tomorrow are all positive and also your Doctor can get back sooner than later.
  9. Another good video Adrian. Nine trout from 11 hooks ups is a good catch rate and a 500g + weight was a nice bonus. Hope the hip is standing up ok since you did the video
  10. Try your beard next I got one the Aldi ones to try for $10 and its ok but nothing to rave about. Have been using a stone of late but just can't get it right yet lol.
  11. Yes hopefully you'll never be put in a situation of needing to be rescued - but if it occurs, they will see you a mile away Good price too. Think the Salmon (& Flatties) will like those - would think they would last long if the Salmon are around though - a few chomps on them and half gone. But as long as they get you some PB's ... who cares
  12. I purchased 2 and they were ok - used for YFW, but yet to Christen them though.. I did notice one of them had the ball bearing lose in the main body rather than the rear end catchment - so maybe check that. Overall was happy with the movement and still had an ok cast distance. I took the trebles off and replaced with a single at the rear only.
  13. Good video Adrian .... a hard slog on the day but a trip to remember
  14. Interesting pick-up. I've never noticed that on photos before. Someone will surely have an answer.
  15. That's an understatement But does the job
  16. Does look good and certainly would improve your storage look lol I know you like using materials you already have, but the angle cut can be difficult without proper tools. As you probably know, Bunnings have those and are cheap.
  17. Top stuff Hunter. A bit of 'relief' from your normal fishing
  18. Think I'll use as backing as suggested on a larger reel. Thanks all for your suggestions
  19. Yeh could do, although I'd prefer all one length on my smaller reels. Might use as backing on larger reels though. Thanks Rybak None of them yet All around 15-20lb, but good thought Hunter.
  20. Good job though and yep I've have the same problem with things I have made - my floors are always uneven
  21. I'll keep that in mind lol, yes, but am ok with doing them - although I could stand in a bath of water to practice as if I was wading
  22. yep could use them as backing dmck - didn't actually think of that as I only had mono in my head for backing Did just buy a Daiwa Crossfire 2500 yesterday cheaply, so might just do it on that. Otherwise I'll send them to you Thanks for your thoughts.
