    Very nice Dingodaz. 3 nice sized salmon = 3 good fights.

    Sounds like a new video coming up soon Good luck up there Alex. I lived in Whyalla for 8 years doing a bit of fishing but never tried Pt Augusta, but seems there will be good fishing for you.

    Great report wilda and nice photos. Even though not much action it is still great to get away from it all, watch the sea, probably talk to yourself a little and the enjoy some nice patties -which look good

    Been looking after wifey as she hasn't been too well for a couple of weeks. Otherwise would have been out a couple of times chasing the salmon.

    Had a go at Maslins Sunday arvo, lots of walking and casting and not a touch. You must be doing it all wrong lol. Very happy with my new lure bag setup though, a Daiwa Trout Bag with my own customised lure storage system! Yeah like keeno said, pictures sounds an interesting setup.

    Nice catch rybak. Always nice on barbie especially when over on KI as well.

    Nicely displayed also Panga. I would have devoured mine also, but I didn't get an invite lol Good to see that you're on the mend also.

    Excellent Underpants and great pictures also. Although you didn't get the full on action of fish for your trip, at least there were some around which kept the interest going. Some homebrew, some red and your mate getting dunked made it all worthwhile

    hoopsy, try just going to google / youtube and search words such as Tasmania floods Drone or similar words. You should then a number of articles that will have drone footage. May not be the exact footage from link above but drone footage anyway. Hope that helps a little.

    Link is working for me. Some great footage of unfortunate damage.

    Great competition yet again and Bjorn for organising. And a huge thanks also to SPOTTERS for the major SPOTTERS prize pack.

    Nice lot of links Kuerschie and thanks for going to the trouble. I know where you're coming from and that the search is a good thing and best to try, but I might add that the op is new on the site and will get the hang of things soon. Also, some things can change over time with rods used for any fishing, so what may have been good before may have changed for the better now.

    Good question Nick as I know I need to have a better casting setup and will be interested in what others have or suggest.

    Good to hear it worked, till the last knot anyway At least there is definitely a reason to keep some balm in the pocket ! You must have to much strength in the arms so when you cast you created a fused line

    hahaha boom boom

    Well, the Port Noarlunga jetty has just been closed due to conditions (+ Commercial Rd closed, by playground, due to flooding) and suspect other jetties as well. Onk footbridge nearly under water ! When it calms a bit, is it snapper time

    Must be a small rock as I can't find it on Google Earth lol

    I went to Porties for a look (no fishing) today around 2'ish and it was quite windy from the North. I was surprised as at my place there was no wind at all. There were a reasonable amount of people fishing from the shallows to the end, but not much caught while I was there for a hour - very small tommies and gar at the end, a reef fish in the middle as well as someone using a crab net and a couple mullet in the shallows (and a tall African appearance person was taking undersized). No-one seemed to be berleying too hard considering there was a small school of salmon swimming around yesterday

    Do they think we just come out for no reason ?? They gotta get their act together or i ain't playing with them either !!
  22. doobie
    I hope you are all successful with catches during this 'lull' in weather. Just watched the news weather and looks like tomorrow morning (maybe even the afternoon also) will still be good to wet a line.

    Mondays are my usual main fishing day during the week, but last Monday was crap so didn't go and next Monday looks to be even crappier! Was going to try flicking some lures around the beaches this morning but with al the weed around I'm not going to bother. So will be waiting for this next big blow to finish and see what tactics I'll try. Good luck to all that are able to get out ..... and be careful once the winds start up again,

    If you do try this method, I found pulling the line slowly and carefully it just slid the knot away- don't just yank at it. Will try Keeno's thought as well, and could save a melted balm in the bag ! Although, the line may need a little more than just wetness. Meaning it may need that extra 'lube' on the surrounding line - but anything is worth a go.

    Firstly, I've tried to find a link on here that someone put up about using lip balm to take out wind knots in braid. I couldn't find it or on youtube etc (but someone might have the link to add onto this post). Last year it was the first time in using braid. Started using braid when I went for the Salmon and found I was getting wind knots (like many of us have probably had). Usually this would occur on windier days (hence wind knots) or even trying to cast as far as I could. I didn't know how to get rid of or avoid getting these wind knots, so I just cut the braid but losing say
