Peelin

mullet in north haven too, not monsters but some decent ones

I heard Jimbo's canoe is a good spot for a mully or two

Intriguing...... :whistle:

lol, its still just squidding, also I reckon squid have colour vision, the most similar to ours in the animal kingdom was what I heard. :dry: more lies and propaganda than an episode of Ifish or ET in that lot.

used to be 200m I reckon, may have changed to 300m now, definate no no at any rate

Keep your eye on the buy and:P sell section of this forum, some great gear comes up at bargain prices, picked up a reel with line which Ive disrespected mightily on many a good fish, given it a swim (thanks Mr percival) and its still going strong.Other wise those ET escape combos would be a good start but if you can fork out a bit more go a bit more up market for the reel at least.Quality gear pays for it's selfPS ease up Jack I'll give you the Bream tally but if you've caught more than 500 million ST's I'll drink your tuna oil

You buying me a new fishing rod Jack? Think you can strtch to a T-curve

Not protected are they? Big bream love the small ones.Yet to intentionally use them as bait but on a few occasions have been catching a few of those ugly suckers only to have them smashed on the retrievePS Brenton I'm colour blind too, very. Do you find you spot fish heaps better than your lesser evolved fishing mates?

super sized gar on a 3/0 hooked in the mouth snapper fishing off the rocks was pretty weird but a 40cm yellowfin whiting at night snapper fishing middle of winter off shore in 40ft wins it for me Also all the usual suspects above + big tommies, big leatheries..... well pretty much big versions of all your regular species.I agree, pillies are a ripper all round bait choice.

Just snapped my favourite little rod rigging up for my morning session and I'm a little upset.It was a good little rod and we had many good times together not least last weekends Wallaroo jetty trip where I suspect the fatal blow was landed by a large unknown assailant, it will be sorely missed.A service will be held tomorrow afternoon where I will conduct the ritual stripping of the guides and burial in with all the other junk in my shed.Profiler 2008-2011 R.I.P.

I have 7 or 8 combos that get a regular run but 1 standout which is first packed for every session. My little tierra 1500 and fin nor flick stick combo spooled with 6lb braid, I down sized from a 2000 daiwa and 10lb line and there's no going back.It gets used for flicking out tiny unweighted baits to catch live bait to sending pillies down a burley trail for reds.I love it and thrash it and it loves me back

yep cut it all into the desired portions first, then freezeI recommend doing up some inch thick steaks for marinating then char grilling *drool*

Even though many will poo poo the idea these days' date=' dont overlook Fireline or Fireline Crystal for a good cheap braid (gelspun) to get you started.[/quote']True words from ranger, and for the record I can tell you from experience that some pretty big fish can be caught on a 1500 size reel full of 6lb braid and in my opinion the small gear is the sweetest to use and gives you advantage when fishing ultra light lures.

Great work Jimbo, again. Also I've gotta add some pretty smooth work from Mrs Jimbo with organising the live bait pump and then on the net.

I'm sensing that all the ingredients might be in place for a much better than average chance of hooking (and hopefully landing) a legal, very metro, land based snapper Saturday morning is looking pretty nice weather wise too as a bonus.Can't wait.

Winter, freezing cold, blowing 20knots+ rain squalls.Me rugged up waterproofed waiting for that foul weather land based big red.Love it

Got that hammer in the pic up top to start with, plenty of snaps up to a couple of kilo's (no big ones unfortunatly), gave Jack a number of fishing lessons with metro land based mixed bag sessions on Bream, ST's, sweep, drummer, zebra fish, trevally, tommies, mullet, pinkie snaps and whiting, (often all in the same session) had a few good yorkes sessions also resulting in the highlight for me, PB 44cm 3 1/2lb bream. (insert photo here )Yep, was a good summer.

I'm with MM fire line for surf and rocks for me though for slightly different reasons.First off I prefer proper braid for my general fishing but for beach and rock fishing I like fireline and not just fresh fireline but the worn furry stuff :ohmy: As its not a true braid but a fused line I've found when it starts to look a bit fraid up it actually comes into its own, it becomes very compliant for casting and the wear of sand, rocks (smooth slimy ones, no line survives jagged sharp rocks) and weed gets it to this state, but the line doesnt seem to be damaged just the coating used in the fusion

I actually meant barkers inlet near the powerstation on the flats, not the powerstation/angus inlet with the rocks and stuff, sorry wasn't real clear. Anyways good luck

Cant believe you've had no interest at all, they are there.Are you staying in the one spot and berlying hard? 6 hours in the one spot down powerstation way with plenty of berly in the water should have the doormats poking aroud I'd have thought

orange for me, and green, and black, blue is good too, ummm come to think of it those multi coloured ones are good, pros swear by red head pearl body, fluro is a winner so is natural and cloth covered kills it except when smoth does..... don't get me started on style :silly: Put a turd in front of a hungry squid and it will have a crack, seriously saw one of my little bothers get eaten once :sick: IMO the thing that seperates the squid masters from the boys is the good ol tommy teaser (no hooks), thread one up chuck it out, check it regular and you will bag 3 times more squid than the average

Thanks, he went real good, repeatedly taking good runs and charging all over the place for about 5 minutes, thought it was a schoolie and when I first saw it called him for one. fortunatly I was mistaken Caught on my trusty Profiler & Tierra 1500 (courtesy of FushLups) combo 3kg line and lightly weighted 3rd time lucky (twice re-frozen) cockle.
