simply awesome.

I couldnt choose between the two, so got the caldia because it looked sexy on the rod Used a friends stradic though and it is one damn fine reel.

oops didnt see this! entered

i was tempted by the tuff tackle reels but went with the saltist instead. no regrets here

I have been using Blackmagic KL 1/0 circles for the last 18 months. These have been lethal on whiting! However, over the last month or so I have snapped 3 hooks, with two more of my fishing mates having the same problem.Bad batch or have they changed something in the design material? Interested to hear if anyone else has had this problem? 18 months with no issues, seems a bit strange this has started happening in the last 6 weeks! Going to try the Owner circles. CheersC85

Good read gents. Dont I feel young and inexperienced now!Spent a little bit of time with my mates fishing jettys and the beach during my teenage years. Although I think there were more beers drank than fish caught. Met some like minded people and been fishing the last three years regularly (Im only mid 20s). Spent alot of time on the torrens chasing carp when I lived near by, Snapper down south, whatever i can catch in west lakes and have done a trip to rocky and greenly to tackle something a bit bigger.Something I enjoy both by myself and with mates to relax.

KG seem to be a better winter/autumn target down there, dont get much after mid October. Although it might just be that the target is something bigger in the warmer months

I use the ray bans as well, but mine are also getting scratched. Time for a new pair!

at least it was a nice evening to be out. Do they hang around in the gutters or a bit higher up? How far out should I be casting?might go for another try this weekend if conditions permit.

tried for some yfw tonight metro for the first time with no success did end up with a nice 45cm flattie though

Caught one of these for the first time this morning near rapid bay. Thanks to this thread, i knew what it was :Dweird looking things. Didnt keep it.

Thanks for the responses guys. Some handy websites there too. Will give them a try this week.cheers

Gents,Have just bought some flurocarbon leader and I'm having trouble tying it to the braid on my reel. The knots I have been using dont seem to hold it (keeps sliding). Any suggestions on which knot to use? Have been searching youtube but cant find anything that works.Apologies if there are other threads on this. (I tried the search function)Cheers:)

Good point Skudded. If your not really in the fishing community you may not know about the ban (having said that, if your at the stage where you own a boat i dont think there is an excuse!). Thinking back a few years ago where me and a couple of mates would go up the coast for the night - fishing was just something we would do - getting pissed and playing beach cricket, soccer and swimming were much higher on our to do list. I didnt read any forums, fishing reports and had never walked into a tackle shop in my life. If I caught a snapper off the jetty there during November I probably would ha

amazing story.As someone who is abit of a novice with boating, that was a bit of a wake up call on some of the basics i havent really thought about.

Not to put too fine a point on this but who made you the official voice of the rec fishing community?You certainly do not have my supportI'm a bit of a fence sitter on the issue as i dont know enough about the success / failures of a RFL in other regions - but as i said a few pages back, it seems its a vocal minority pushing for it...

I'm just going to put this one out there:Is the implementation of a fishing license being pushed for by a vocal minority who are fed up with the mismanagement of fresh water fishing in this state?

grabbed it at the airport yesterday, good read but now i have to wait for the next issue!
