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

They both have to their own better departments over eachother!I think broken down this how it goes. Note: This is only my personal opinion.Light/Bream Spin Reel = Daiwa.Light/Bream Rod = ? + Others.Medium Offshore ie. Snapper Reels = ShimanoMedium Offshore ie. Snapper Rods = Shimano.Surf Rods and Reels = Shimano.Fly Reels and Rods = Not that I would pick either of these Brands but Shimano.Overhead included Baitcaster Reels. = Shimano.Overhead included Baitcaster Rods = Shimano.Game Rods and Reels = Shimano.Jig Rods and Reels/ Popping = Shimano/Daiwa?Lures = Daiwa.Line = Diawa.Accessories = Shimano.Thats just my opinion I love both brands and think that they are the best brands in the world! Personally I think Daiwa will make you look good and give you awesome finesse. But Shimano gives you all grunt!Brands and Gear are only restricted buy what you want to use them for! They are both the Bees Knees!Cheers TT

not a fan of the texi's have found a few flat spots in them.... but thats just me

bjorn2fish wrote:I know I personally use that Technique especially for unweighted Bream baits next to structure Pontoons etc.A Bait Running technique I use though. Is to back the Drag right off the Reel so there is no resistance and then as the Fish takes the Bait. Lock up Drag and set the Hook. Hope this helps cheers TT

Baitrunner is not a must bud Even though I fish in gear, I basically use two distinct drag settings. Have a reasonably light drag so it's enough to cause an little bit of effort to take line, (don't know what poundage or anything). And if the fish takes it, it can just run anyway without too much strain on the rod, especially if it ain't in my hands when it hits.Then a couple of winds to increase the drag and I strike just to make sure the hooks are set nicely.If you think about it, if you are fishing anything other than an unweighted bait, then the sinker is going to provide some resistance anyway... Even with a running rig because the fish takes of that quick the sinker lifts up. With the weight I use to keep a live bait.down, I.reckon that's enough to set your hooks anyway I bought some 'owner cutting point' hooks the other day and.they reckon on the pack its like 1pound of pressure to.set them (or something ridiculous like that. And if using a float, that's even more pressure than lifting a sinker will create. Anyway, that's just me, I don't really like baitrunners, I used them snapper fishing for a while, but.found with the.current and sinkers, the reel was set pretty heavy anyway just to keep the bait where it needs to be.Just my thoughts mate

Some people leave their bail arm open then when they get a bite flick the bail arm closed then strike and wind. That might give you a bit of a bait runner effect. Heard people using that technique for Bream though not on Mully's could work though.

Nick why would you do that? Im sorry but really putting fish in that lake will change ecosystem of the lake! all of a sudden it begins to challenge the fish for food. Big Bream in that lake 40+ are rare as they are with out needing to compete with doggies

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.
