ST on plastics, bream on Bait........the actual bait doesn't seem to be that important, as long as you present it well (I've found the bigger bream won't touch a bait if they can see the hook at all)Salmon trout will eat anything that appears edible that happens to float past their face

Got a couple of solid Bream from the Port yesterday......Go like freight trains on 4lb fluoro!Also got a decent bag of 21-25cm Salmon Trout

Wasn't my Flattie mate, I'm a catch and release only fisho, unless its for bait species (tommies, trouties and mullet).......Plus I wouldn't leave the carcass on the beach ;)Nice work on the Salmon Trout though!

I have bought both styles on the same day from the BCF at Mount Barker...........In your picture, the top one is the bloodworm wriggler from the Squidgy "Pro Range" (they come in packs of 10 with a little bottle of S-Factor) and the bottom one is the Bloodworm wriggler from the "Normal Range" (come in packs of 6 with that salt looking scent on them)I much prefer the colour and texture of the top one personally

Fished the run in tide at Outer Harbour last night for a small bag of nice size Mullet (good to restock the freezer with a bit of bait anyways)Managed to get a big school into the area I was fishing.....was tough work getting them to bite, but was frantic once they did (reckon I would have got 2-3 times as many if I'd had some smaller hooks on me)Also got a nice Bream and a few just undersize Salmon Trout. Was a big school of well legal gar hanging around aswell, but didn't have a bait on me that would tempt them!

Fished the Yacht Squadron at outer Harbour last night for a bit of fun with the missus. Was hoping for a few tommies for a ray session.....but caught everything but :PEnded up catching a handful of near legal Bream, aswell as a couple of just legal models. Also managed a Garfish, some trumpeter, one tommy and even a small flathead (my third and biggest from this spot in almost three years fishing here)

I've never thought of using super glue to strengthen up the knot.....Not a bad ideaI use Albright knots for my braid to leader joins, and haven't had any issues (I use 4lb braid, 4lb fluoro leader), as long as I do things nice and smooth and lubricated during the tying process

Pretty much everything Ashley saidI personally use 4lb mono straight to a size 6 Suicide/Octopus type hook, with bread for bait (and berley) on a 1-3kg rod and 1000 size reel.......I lose plenty of fish to snags, but I like the sport of it more than the dragging carp in aspect

That little jetty in horseshoe bay has always been good to me in the past and have seen some big rays hauled up there..... Can't comment on recent times though!

Fished this morning between about 11pm and 5amTried the Yacht Squadron first for some livies, but only managed a few Trumpeters and a couple of undersize BreamMoved to my "Midnight Salmon Trout Spot" in the Port and managed about 10 Trouties ranging from undersized (17cm or so) right up to a solid 30cm fish, which gave the drag on my little 1000 sedona a good workout amongst the rocks. Also got a legal Bream and a couple of smaller onesKept a couple of the bigger ST's for bait and swam them in the lake a bit hoping for a mully, but no luck........then tried them as dead baits out at Garden Isl

Hit the Port up a couple of nights last week.....Not much to report, plenty of small Tommies and some good size Mullet around the Outer Harbor area....Got a few nice Bream as by catch31cm at Garden IslandAnd a cracking 37cm Fish from the Yacht SquadronHaven't had any luck on the big stuff of late though, which kinda sucks!

Normanville is where the restrictions end......Haven't read the regulations, but I imagine there would be a landmark there somewhere, beyond which in a South direction the hook restrictions and such do not apply!

Living in the hills I have limited options for my tackle stores...Camping World/Compleat Angler in Mount Barker has always got my business in the past, but it is a small store with a limited rangeI personally like BCF, and will usually go to either the Gepps Cross Store, or the Richmond store if I have the time. Always had great service when I have needed it, and on the odd occasion I have been looking for advice or a recommendation, the staff have been able to help me.Now that there is a BCF in Mount Barker, most of my tackle purchases will be made there I reckonOnly thing I go elsewhere for

Equally valid if it turns out he was using wire

Saw that pic on the ALBS page aswellNice Bronzie!If the guy who caught it comes forward and says he caught it on mono with 5/0 hooks, I'll believe him

I use a single #6 or #10 baitholder or suicide hook when I fish Garden Island for small stuff (Bream, Trouties, Mullet, Whiting etc)Fish the slow water around the top of the tide towards the mangroves from the board walk unweighted and you should get some interest (although its getting towards the time of the year when the Port starts to get over run with trumpeters )

Is that the road that goes to mutton cove off of veitch road?I noticed that was open about a month ago when I went on the 'dolphin cruise' with the mrs (it's more fishing spot recon for me )

Cheers guys!

Caught this bad boy at the Yacht Squadron at Outer Harbour while chasing live bait yesterday, and while its obviously not a species I am ever gonna target, I'm just curious as to what it is?Cheers

Worst one I have had is pretty small compared to the last few picsCopped an owner treble through the finger while dislodging the lure from (of all things) the beak of a seagull

Solid Wobbigong there!I remember watching my uncle drag one of these up from the depths off Stenhouse Bay Jetty going back a few years now......was about 7ft long!

Thats funny as :PI also have to chuckle at how polarised the Shark fishing debate apparently is

I thought most jetties were built as a means for people to get to and from ships in the late 1800's and early 1900's and have more recently become used primarily as fishing and recreation structures

I'm not a Shark fisho either....never caught one, don't target them etc....Seems to me most Sharkers fish at night and most Swimmers use the beach during the day.As far as I am concerened the sharks being attracted versus the sharks always there debate is a pretty pointless one........The issue seems to arise when sharkers fish a swimming beach at the same time as swimmers are there?I might get flamed here, but is it really that hard for Shark fisho's to avoid swimming beaches (metro jetties) during the daylight and twilight hours on warm days when there is gonna be heaps of people around (I k

Depends which part of the Torrens you fish ;)This is my local part of the torrens in late summer I have also though about getting into fly fishing for carp......would be awesome fun, and as Highfly said, part of that is sight casting the big ones (which would suit some of my spots to a tee )
