sweet...well done to you all, and a GREAT well done to the lad for landing some stonking fish...

bit of a hollow victory by the crows, they are still tards..... you watch... they will be talking finals again....

now thats an idea... they make steel capped riggers boots, the kind used for walking on tops of big building etc etc...very similar to volleys.and super tuff....

somebodies gotta say it...SHOW US YA FOOT.......

what about a pair of waders?nice and worm, and keep ya tootsies dry...ive got hornes, and they will custom make to your size... im sure others would as well.

on my truck, i only have a nudge bar.... so to fit the rod racks, i made up another tube...2 x exhaust bends were tig welded together, couple of nuts welded to some round plates, then the plates were welded into the ends of the pipes. drill through the nedge bar, and bolted the new pipe up, then attached the rod racks to that.if anyone else has a nudge bar, this should work for them as well...just make sure you have clearance to open the bonnet.http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i7/nifty_2006/rodracks005-1.jpg

yeah more than likely...the places i fish,are surrounded by rocks...bazzillions of them.small, large, pebbles, medium sized...the rocks is just a general term i use...the places are black point, mushroom rocks, the pegs, the axle, fenceline, garfish bay, becky point, lighthouse, the bus....... take your pick... ive fished them all, and generally only within 20-30kms apart...ive even fished them all in one day...

hard to catch whiting with little of no movement thats for sure.i prefer a dodge tide for snapper...., but have caught them on incoming, outgoing,high, dead low, and everything in between.

still not a definate for me yet, could be heading the west coast... or getting car painted....

oh, and sometimes 2 pair of socks for when its really cold.i work shift work, and did night shifts on the weekend, and it went to zero every night.the cold floor, went right through my steel cap boots soles, and made my feet cold.went and got some lambswool insoles, and that fixed that problem

fleecy track pants, t shirt, quilted flannelette shirt ( nice and warm), and an old jacket....waders over the lot, and a thinsulate beaniefingers are the trouble area...trying to keep them warm.

well done tyke.... always great to beat a pb.....

hope you have fun fishyfish.... ive got some good mates up there, and they tell me today is RAINING....

ive got a ( think ) shakespere bag.it has a pull out waterproof lining, which can come in handy for putting fish in , but i dont use it for that.my rigs are in money bags, from the bank.when tied they are placed in a bumbag in the fishing bag.i dont carry a lot, 3 or 4 bags of swivels and hooks, some chem lights for night fishing, pliers, bog roll ( of course) and a few other odds and sods.i used to carry everything i may need, but found i never used it, so why was i lugging it around?out it came, and ive been stuck a couple of times missing something, but thats fishing.

SNYDERGLAS...... there was one on here the other day for sale as well... excellant light rod, very light, and very capable.

not so much their first fish,but there fish snapper from the rocks... ive been with sandywhiting, vb4me, and snappermania when they got there first rock reds...same as with del, softy and jimmy.and seen mrs scaleytom land 2 cracking salmon...she will next to land a rock red.
