chez... if yourself and chad are looking for a biggy, i would be trying the mudbanks... you will do many trips without a fish, but if you hook one, it will be BIG.june is the best time for that place though..

excelant reading...i used to from the rocks, when there was plenty of tommies around, catch them, and put in a clothes basket ( with a lid) that i had sitting on the waters edge.... that seemed to work pretty well for a makeshift live bait tank.

i love my sndyer glas mt6110.... matched with an abu 7000thats what ive been catching the squid on... casts the jig a very good distance out with a float.

in the first bit, where is the security gaurds humpy?.... i cant get my bearing yet to where exactly to go.

he also mentined the same spot to me a couple of mths ago.but didnt point out where it was exactly... needs to be a high tide, otherwise forget it he told me... no water.mate works there and he is spewing about not being able to fish... he said some idiot climbed down a ladder to the water to gaff a king...and got caught doing it..

pescados wrote: really.... hell you dont even need a boat here... if you had some fish for them, you could sit on the steps all day and feed them.now the 2 regular adult dolphin come right up. if you hang a fish out, one of them will push the other out of the way...even lay on top of it so that it gets the fish...the baby is prob still suckling, but stays just out of arms reach while mum and dad get a feed.

FROZEN cuttlefish, and not one squid jig on the boat of in the tackle box.its good that people ARE watching, and my bro actually thanked the fisheries bloke for taking an interest in catching the wrong doers...the cuttlefish were what he caught from th

COMMON occurance on whyalla jetty sometimes... and not ny ethnics either.i fish 2 jigs, and thats it...and im right next to both of them at all times.in fact they would be lucky to be more than 2 mtrs apart along the railive been on the jetty sometimes, and cant get a spot anywhere for jig, rods and 15 crab nets by just 2 people....who think its there god given right to do so..i was even there when 2 coppers came walking along the jetty, and look at some very undersize crabs someone had in a bucket.he said for them not to look to hard,while chugging on a beer ( i think he knew the cops)all the

kayakfisher wrote: hm ... now im thinking again.....bro was coming with me he dicided, but has now had something come up...well rather DOWN.... his gutters just fell off of his roof, so thats his job for tomorow.. :cheer:

as expected... my bro is fine with me using it, but his in laws said they not keen....so the boat is mine to use, but not the engine...hahahahaoh well... worth a shot.

better luck next timesince that trip is now off, i just made a suggestion to bro that i tow his boat up to pt augusta and try for a king... but the gutters just fell off of his house, so thats tomorrows job for him.dammit.... another bro has a real nice tinnie, that he doesnt use... but wont sell it...i doubt if i could borrow it either as its a good one, and not somthing he would like to lend out as its only half his...the other half is his father in laws.but that would be a nice tinnie to take to pt augusta, easy to handle by myself,but its only tiny... 12 ft with a 4stroke on it.big enough

boys day out wrote: im in whyalla, so either drive across tonight, or will be an early start from here at 4am... should take about 3 hrs i reckon , maybe a bit longer.will check the km on a gps this arvo and find out just how far it is.

its decided...im going to drive up, then down either tonight, or early morning for a try at riley pt and wallaroo jetty. not exactly sure where to go, but im open to suggestions on where to catch a snapper or 2.from the rocks i will be using the snyder glas and the alvey, and from jetty an ugly stick and abu7000...if anyone fancies some company and wouldnt mind a days fishing, sing out .. im all ears...always up for a chat and a fish.bait will be squid and tommies.now... WHAT do i need to bring to land a snapper from the jetty? i can get hold of a cliff gaff on a rope if my bro still has it.

very talented...my lure making takes on the form of a peice of stainless bar, polished up, with hooks on one end... but they work for salmon.
