  1. Port Hughes is my fave jetty in SA especially for squidYou can catch them all up the jetty on either side but just before the end of the left hand rail in the shallows has produced many a squid for me.For fish just berley up using a berley bucket 3/4 way down and see what shows up. I had a school of 30-40cm salmon show up and was catching the on plastics.Watch out for those shitties that are everywhere along the jetty this time of year. Thats why i only targetmid water to top water fish like gar and tommies. And have a plastic on hand to throw at snook. Youll know if their there if you see gar jumping so just throw your plastic to where you saw them jump.Bring an aray of bait to cover the options like gents, pillys and squid tenticle.Good luck mate

  2. Yeh off the sainties breakwater off the endAlot of small throwbacks around 20cm but kept a few that were high 20s low 30sNah dont smoke em but would love to experiment next winter and buy a smokerI just fillet them and have them beer batteredDelicious but you need to bleed them upon capture

  3. Tip #1: don't go for em dude' date=' It'll drive you mad! they don't call them Silver Ghosts for nothing![/quote']Ahahaha cheers for the tips NikhumJust thought while fishing for bream i'd have a livie kicking about so im not expecting a fish every session but will welcome any stray Mully that decides to eat my offerings.
  4. Cheers for the replies guys ;););) Probably just back the drag off so the livie cant take line off but the mully canI'll be using an easy rig clip to hold the sinker so the livie can move around a bitAgain thanks for the help and if anyone of you WL mully experts got any more tips there more than welcome :P

  5. Hey Guys,Looking to target some of these elusive Mullys lurking in the depths of Westlakes.My problem is that i don't have a bait runner reel and would like to know is there a way of getting the same "effect" as a bait running real on a regular reel?Cheers for the help guys ;)

  6. why would putting a few doggies in the lake f#$k things up? they are probally in there anyway. the lock is big enough for a doggie to get through and im sure one could swin up the pipes at the southern end. I cant see the problem.

    I can't see any problem with it eitherBut i don't understand WHY someone would go out there way to drive to west lakes and release a doggy when they could just chuck it back in and keep fishing :fishing: I mean seriously what does that achieve :huh::huh::huh:
  7. Not sure about cuttlefish as never caught one but i seen recently watching Adventure Bound on dvd when he caught a big squid he would hold it up to the sun light and in the middle of the back of the squid ( the lighter part ) if there was a big white area in the middle it usualy ment it was carrying eggs.

  8. Was at wallaroo jetty yesterday and at about 1pm wasn't raining or windy or nothin. But you could see the storm and lightning coming in from over the sea. Amazing site but we had to leave cause you could it was gonna hit the jetty in like half an hour. Was litterely out driving the storm until we hit second storm which flooded the road upto the car doors :ohmy: . (BTW caught half a dozon crabs a squid and had a run from a pretty big snapper :P )

  9. Yeh i still got a little jar of them somewhere :unsure: i used them last january off port hughes jetty and got loads of tommies and even a few gar on them but they were realy thick so i suppose you would have got them on anything that was white a 1/2 an inch long :P they looked realy handy when i bought them and something that you could use in a spur the moment thing You would just use them as normal gent and they stay on the hooks heaps better and even when you've unhooked a fish there still on the hook ready to catch another. But i would still use live ones for gars but if there heaps of gars and tommies around there much easier to hook on and they stay on for longer. ;) ;)

  10. Had a holiday few years back for my birthday in feb and stayed at a waterfront villa. Bloody beautiful. Went out every mornin and was catchin 30-40cm bream on a few pieces of bread :fishing: For landbased i'd recoomend tryin out a few lagoons for your bream yellowfin trevaly. Treat the river nearby as you would treat westlakes i suppose.Anyway goodluck:P :P
