Don't know if this is what you mean by local but plenty out from cape jervis. Probably any deeper water snapper drop would be the way to go.

filmed, fought and netted by yourself! let me be the first to give you karma for that effort

We used to get these worms that looked kinda like earthworms out of the seaweed piled up on the beach at hardwicke bay. They were a gun on the mullet and I'm sure they would work on whiting too.

You can fish and crab at the same time but just probably stick to 2 nets and probably don't go for snapper or fish with live bait. A hook in the finger when pulling up the rope isn't very nice. Most productive crab grounds will produce whiting, gar, squid etc.

karma for you for carrying others rubbish back and no doubt your own as well. The walk back from browns is easier than it was a few years ago but still isn't the easiest. Maybe thats the problem making it too easy for people to carry a lot of shit down there has made it more popular.

I'm not making excuses but it has been that way since the breakwaters were built. My dad got dragged out of the council offices because he was so against them building the breakwaters. The only time you couldn't use the ramp at port hughes befor the breakwaters was in a strong north wind. Maybe like 10-15 days a year. Now there is a lot more days than that were you get stuck going in or out.

Doesn't make to much difference to me as 95% of what I catch are feral species or C&R. I think its a good idea as long as the limits are reasonable. I think you should be able to stock up on whiting or snapper for a couple of months worth but years? definatly not.If a couple goes out and gets their limit of whiting then has 2 meals of whiting a week, thats 4 fish a week, would last them 6 weeks. Say its a long weekend with good weather and they get their limit all 3 days. thats enough for 18 weeks. The limits should be kept somewhere around that I reckon. If they own their own boat they'd

Have to agree that surely more will move in if you remove the local ones. Most of what I have read and heard is that most of them are quite nomadic anyway, covering great distances. As long as there are crabs and snapper coming up the gulfs there will be sharks following them. If we kill a couple every year in metro waters there might not be many left anywhere soon.

I have never seen a great white in person apart from when that decomposing whale was floating around at cape jervis. I go out on my kayak and if there's no fish biting your mind starts to wonder and you start to think about them. I know there is a chance it will happen to me but I think the chance is minimal and worthwhile to take. I minimise the risks by not burlying, using lures mostly and If i do use bait its usually cockles or squid. I have had a bronzie about 8 feet come up and have a look at me and while it wasn't the saftest I've ever felt I didn't ruin my wetsuit. I think everyone know

My cousin just got back from wallaroo last night and he came bearing crabs! Gave me 4 and now I'm sitting on the verandah In the sunshine (wich looks like its not gonna last long) sipping an asahi (No its not too early!) and satisfying my primal urges by cracking open the shells and sucking down the sweet meat inside! Got some olive oil, lemon juice, chilli and garilc drizzled over the top. Sooooooooo good!

Some steels are good while some are crap. I think they are the best way to hone a knife to a razor edge but it took a lot of practice for me to get it down pat. Like most things if you spend a bit of cash and go with a recognised brand you'll be all right 90% of the time. Different steels require different techniques, speeds and more pressure as you run the blade over them and different blades will need different steels. A softer blade will need a corser steel and less pressure where a harder blade will need a smoother steel and more pressure. Sounds complicated but in the end you will get a s

Strikehook is my nicotine patch for the horrible addiction known as fishing. I went to doctor and he said I can go in a program where they will give me fishadone to ween me off it. I gave him a swift kick to the head and walked out.

I had a bib on a poltergeist pull right out when it got stuck in a tree. But somehow the bib attahced to my line and the lure both came flying back at me. I took it home and superglued it in and it caught a few more fish on it before it died again. Now there may be a reddie swimming round the onk with a lipless poltergeist n its gob!

Maybe this is another argument for a fishing license. If there was a small test on regulations (size, bag limits as well as what equipment you can use) Maybe then there would be no excuse for anyone not knowing the rules and flaunting them. Maybe then even the penalties could be increased.

Or rung fisheries within earshot of him and finished the phone call with "No wories we'll see you soon" and watch him running up and down the jetty pulling in his handlines. Unless he didn't know the rules (no excuse I know) then maybe a quiet word to him may have helped.

I would've rung fisheries. Doubt they would have come in time but you never know they may be in the area. You probably did the right thing by not throwing his handlines in never know what some people will do.

I wouldn't cancel the trip just stick to riley not the jetty. As is the case with the rocks around whyalla the rougher the better. Anywhere north of the point you will be in with a chance. We only fish it when its too rough to take the boat out and done pretty well off the rocks. Snapper, salmon, bronzies, snook and squid.

I think the key with burly is lots of smell not much substance. We find a rag soaked in tuna oil just hanging over the back of the boat just out of the water so it touches the water when a wave comes along. Ive heard of people soaking cotton wool in tuna oil and putting that in your float. Smae Idea I guess but I've never tried it.

I love to eat gar but never fish for them myself. Delicous but unless they are well over legal size they are a pain to fillet and very messy. Wont pass up a meal of them at my olds house though. I'll try and find a photo of a huge one I caught on K.I. one time, went 420 grams. Almost like a billed snook.Took the older rugrat fishing down West Lakes yesterday, too nice not to get out the house. No bream but we were plagued by undersized gar.

Yes it runs into the ocean but where is the other end??? It wouldn't be too bad if it was tidal but By the colour of the water not sure that it is. Even if the water is treated to a level to be flowing out into the ocean doesn't mean its clean.

If its where I think it is its back befor the tram museum. Its just a concrete drain that goes under the road and is called shit creek because it runs from bolivar. I've seen some good bream and some monster carp caught by a guy outta there but I would never fish it and NEVER EVER eat anything from there. I would guess its been fenced off because its probably not a good idea for people to come into contact with the water running through it, or anything with water from the drain dripping off it.

Gotta cook flounder whole but absolutley awesome to eat. Waste too much if you try and fillet them.

There's plenty of sheltered spots not too far from rapid bay. Second vally jetty or inside the cape jervis breakwater. if its a north/northwest wind deep creek would be a goer too. Also plenty of freshwater around there if you know where to go. Find a creek or good looking dam and start knocking on doors.

A bit off topic but baitrunners are a good idea from a kayak as if you are trolling it can take a little while to get yourself sorted out befor you pick up the rod and start winding.

Shame on you vb4me! VB should always be a long way behind pale ale!
