  1. If i am fishing the snowys for trout then a good set of thermal pants is a must. Even down here in the South east during summer i will wack of on a pair of thermals if its cold. For a normal night a light pair of tracksuit pants with the ends tucked into your socks works fine. Use to hate wearing shorts in a pair of Hornes waders as they use to not feel right. Would sweat a lot in them when it was warm too (not sure why anyone would buy those Hornes PVC waders anymore?). Now i have a pair of riverworks neoprene's and they feel much more comfortable.
  2. I used to fish Semaphore all the time when I was a kid and caught heaps of Gar from that Jetty. Maybe try fishing the Jetty on the rising tide at night. My best sessions were mostly after midnight to first light on a rising tide. I found during the day was hard to get a good feed. The added bonus was that there was always less people to compete with!
  3. @AquaticResearch1 I was getting them up to a kilo but they are getting them up to 5+ kilo. Plenty there and if you get the right day you’ll end up with a few. Plenty of trout in these waters too.
  4. I went over to lake Bullen Merri and caught some Chinook Salmon...does this count? they were very nice in the smoker!
  5. Yabbies.. I got a hunger for some yabbies! anyone tell me when they should start crawling in the river?
  6. Braid all the way. I spend a huge amount of time fishing the surf beaches around salt creek every year targeting mullies. There is no way I would be using mono. As long as you use good graphnel sinkers to keep your line straight in the water then you should not be getting any tangles and besides as soon as your line slackens you should be checking it anyway. For me braid increases hook ups and gives you those extra few meters casting. When it's windy you can still keep your line straight, unlike mono which will have a big bend in the line and then cause the sinker to pull. Just make sure you u
  7. Morgan enough with your 87lber why dont you just marry that fish I like to pat her good night every time i go to bed!! Any more than that and i think my wife will start to worry
  8. The 87lb'er in my avatar was caught on a dodge tide!! Not the best time to fish but you can still be successfull.
  9. Not a great bait in my opinion, although I have caught a couple of fish on them I find I'm far more successfull on other baits. They always seem to attract the wrong fish and in my case it's usually stingrays. I might add I'm beach fishing in the south east it could be different in other locations.
  10. Don't use that bought squid from bait shops, always catch your own as it will work better. If you can't get it yourself then buy it from a fish shop like the fish factory. Mullet fillets work well and the Salt creek servo usually sell them, other wise try and catch a few legal size salmon/mullet out of the surf and use them for bait. Don't rely on catching fish for bait down there always make sure your well stocked before hand.Fresh trevally fillets are also dynamite on gummies if you can get onto a few of these. there are bucket loads of gummies being caught from about 30-60k's north of the T
  11. Just a little info from the PIRSA website in that last post. You may find that people may be reluctant to give out spot's for the Fleurieu and yorke peninsular as they don't have the quantity of cray around these areas, but if you look hard enough i'm sure you will find them, I'm not familiar with these areas so can't help you. You'll more than likley need a good sized boat to access these areas and a quality sounder will assist in finding reef.
  12. Catch Limits and Legal LengthsMinimum legal length: Southern zone (from longitude 139o0’4.80” east to the Victorian border): 9.85 cm Northern zone (from longitude 139o0’4.80” west to the West Australian border, including Kangaroo Island): 10.5 cm (Information about how to measure rock lobsters) Personal daily bag limit: A maximum of 4 rock lobster per person per day, regardless of how they are legally taken Daily boat limit: If taken by only one person (whether by diving, drop or hoop net, or registered rock lobster pot) a maximum of 4 rock lobster per day.If taken by more than o
  13. Cray will generally feed on anything you throw at them, but fresh bait is best in my opinion, i tend to use salmon mostly as it is readily available most times. Any fish will do though. You still haven't given an area you want to fish?? but any where in the south east, KI, bottom of yorkes, bottom of eyre peninsular right up to the WA border holds cray. You'll need to narrow it down a little if you want some one to help you out on a spot. Down here in the South east any bit of reefs holds cray, there's no secret spots cause there's plenty of cray! In other areas of the state the cray are a lit
