damn thats great news-tp points all round to the list of honest people still about

bugger-wouldve made for some top vid footage-i'm never in the right place at the right time much nowadays lol

Also welcome aboard tryin2catch1 just noticed it was the first of many posts from you

I like to skin mine as i find it helps heaps. Like yorky said-if it for the freezer its history-bit like snook. Ive heard of the milk idea and we use it on squid it makes them tastier and more tender. I also like to smoke my salmon but its a bastard keeping them lit

good luck but i hope im wrong in saying that its goodbye from wallet and contents

Its probably something really green-backed that dissolves once it hits the water. Saves fish stocks lol. Actually ive heard of boi - sinkers that break down over a month or so once used. Godd for the environment but a bloody expensive way to fish. If the line is something that degrades within a short time under constant exposure it would be a top idea but its gotta have a way of being stopped while still in use.

posties just delivered my issue so now im off to the peace and quiet of my shed with a cup of coffee for a damn good read-at a quick look "hows about the size of those bloody squid-shit didnt know they grew so big"

Im hangin big time for mine-hope it gets here for a good read over the weekend lol

Hey reelin u may come across the spent remains of your mate's guts after a heavy night on the turps-makes top berley lol

me im stuck at home in the garden. Damn i hate no longer having a licence but at least the yard stays clean. Planning to check my rod bindings and give the old girls a coat of varnish ready for summer

nice carp-never tried them on fly gear-but then can afford fly gear lol

I dont think modern batteries have heaps of lead cells like when i was a kid. If u score one youll see a gridded up metal feame-heat it up and the lead will melt out for u to use-i used to put them in a heavy tin and then pour of the lead into a jam tin for sinker making. Now im older and wiser i wouldnt recommend doing the battery idea as its hard yakka smashing through the outer casing and bloody dangerous. The acid is a killer and god only knows how much lead i took in-we never used gloves or masks - hell we hardly ever washed our hands to eat etc-ingnorance does have nasty side issues. Now

gee i havent made sinkers since i was a kid. We used to break old car batteries down (OH&S reps please ignore lol ) and we used a fany fluted jam spoon which we poured in to. We also used the foil from the old powdered milk tins to write out names on so the sinker poured with our own personalised touch. We found the fluted pattern on the spoon helped the sinker rise better avoiding alot of snags

Ive fished here all my life and as a shore based fishy even im having trouble getting a feed this year. The tommies should be starting to have a go on most local jetties, the ST's are still busy in the port and st kilda and west lakes is always a go try anytime.

yeah im hanging for my first ever copy through subscription-cant wait

personally i think its a waste of time. Ok it may work if u r into long distance casting comps but me i'd rather fish lol

So I wonder if licensed rec fishing happens here is the govt going to stop this sort of crap? oops oh wait interstate they have licensed rec fishing and this is still happening-not easy being at the bottom of the govt pecking order:@

Go to this site. Its expains about put a magnet in your reel and how to do it and how its supposed to help http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwevb/showthread.php?t=5668

no way will rec fishing score any of the money as funds etc-be like the road tax-used for everything but roads.

Bloody hell-bastards need their arses kicked

top pic clay Certainly brought back some fond memories-all we need now are those mongrel pigeons who fly under the jetty playing chicken with our lines to show up lol

shit there seems to be a fair bit of this bullshit happening lately. Bit rough when you cant go out on the water with some mongrel ripping you off. It'll get to the stage where guards will have to be on launching areas to protect items-then watch lauch costs appear

Try to find areas of calm water. If water is fast find eddies or areas out of fast flow as they perfer nice calm water

Lucky Bugga-talk about a dream come true-good luck and keep us posted so we can drool lol

you'll have to show us when iys done-looks like a nice one
