ha ha thanks ranger ;D

got a couple of good ones around high 30's in the onk on hard bodies, dropped a thumper that woulda gone way over mid 40's. at my feet couple months ago put up a good fight too ;D. took me a week or so to get over it

yeah nice pick fred

@brooksy. they must be hungry liitle buggers at times then, bet u where trippn out when that one came to the boat

there u go i just gave ya one for the hell of it

Yeah its a good idea to stay away from the area if ya bream fishing all together. i have read that spawning fish can actually not spawn or drop there load through the stress of bein caught. wether dis is true or not ile leave to someone else to hopefully elaborate. Theres plenty of people that still go there to catch these bream on purpose as well as undersized mullys they have no respect for the laws or future genarations. the government should employ more fisheries officers.... ive never seen one ???

mmmmmm commercial mincer thats the ticket. apperantly if u look in the right places u can find an old one for reasonable price. ;D

I release all bream caught nowadays and would release any big mulloway if i ever catch a big one. But schoolie sized cum home as well as gar,tommies,squid,snaps,cuttle fish(occasionally) . Not only do i fish for sport but i have hungry mouths to feed at home so bringing home a good feed when i go out makes it more financialy viable with the money spent on gear,boat repayments,bait etc. but say if i get a good haul of gar,tommies,squid,snapper i wont target them for awhile and catch sumthin else. ;Dcheers

bloody oaf snaps would be alota fun on that gear ;D

yeah its a bit messy aint it.... > ive used a manual mincer for a couple years now and yeah there not made to chew up bones. my last mincers blades shattered within months from the pressure and looked like they where made from a very pouress metal. so if u can find spare blades get em which u usually can with the ones from ebay. the main problem ure probably having is ure mincing fair sized salmon which will clog up the feeding spindle mechanism making it fricken hard work. i usually only mince up gar and tommy frames and left over pillies, but have done a few salmon and remember cutting th

woooaahh that is deffinitly a bream there luke......a very,very old bream.pretty sure there are other species of bream throughout the world,it looks very much the same as our southern black bream though im sure sumone else will no more ;)kiiler fish aint it ;D picture looks like it from japan??? ???

i think ule find that the starlo stix might 7"3 but has longer butt than normal so u dont benefit from any more lentgh,(correct me if im wrong) ;D. ive had the 7"6 raider for couple years and it casts the lightest softys and hard bodys further than any other lure chuckn rod i own(t-curve,starlostix tourny,etc,etc ???.but could be contributed to type of braid line lay on quality reel etc,but i will say the 7"6 is a very soft floppy blank and not one i use often unless im chuckn alot of really light feather weight softys .the only reason i bought this rod was for the extra casting distance for f

ha ha good onya coightus :icon_lol:thats huge u got big fingers too..

i can see a need for o/h in real deep water for line capacity for sure(and brute force) ;D. locally most grounds i fish are 60 feet and under which is fairly shallow so the spin gear is plenty for me . but i do use a couple of over heads for slightly heavier applications ;D

Yep i think ure on to it guys , its a big whitin but it aint 97cm. the old holdn the fish away from ya trick. :

Awesome fish guys well done ;D

Mmmmmmm thats one ugly mother, not too bad on the plate though if ya luv getn ure hands dirty ;D . caught one bout that size down hallet cove last summer couldnt believe it when it started taking line of me reel!!!

I have heard of monster kgw but never seen photos, so if this is authentic it shows that they can grow to WTF sizes.pity it wasnt released coz i dought it woulda tasted any good

im with jojo,alot more fun on 3000 to 4000 sized spinning gear. for your price if ya can still find one caldia kix is a good reel $249 if i remember correctly. team daiwa advantage in 3000 is performing well for me at the moment,also stradic 4000 has served me well for the last 4yrs. cheers hope this helps

Yes i checked it out earlier yobs ;D, definetly sum quality bargains to be had there , the mens murchison bushshirt (the only one with a hood) for $100 looks ok but it said water resistant..... im sure it would be cool in light rains but if it dont say 100% garaunteed water proof it wont do.standing on portys jetty in gale force winds pissing down with rain ule soon no if it water proof or not. might just get one aswell anyway they look very warm ;)thanks for the input guys ;D ;D

no worries champ ;)yeah i had to look a coupla times the head shape on the 4 inch is slightly different aswell,anyway still an odd catch he musta bin hungry.U live on KI?

Wow that is an eye opener tonyb , just a question though ya sure thats not a 3inch minnow, sorry if im wrong it just doesnt look like a 4inch in comparisin wiv ya hand or the fish

hhmmmm been doin sum looking around reckon ive looked at 20 different brands so far ???, and this one hear lookn pretty damn fine HL TP1 Mirage Carbon Jacket - XL SKU: 23958 Link to Henri Lloyd website

@ranger them sum damn fine looking jackets... bet there pricey too . already got inflateable pfd though which i got for me birthday, missus will spit chips if i dont use it ;)just after sumpthin to keep me dry when its pissing down. flickn lures down the onk or during storms down port noarlunga. last jacket only lasted one winter before it lost its ability to repell water, so i will spend the dollars on one that will last ;Dcheers trevor

thanks leethal and yobs ile check em out
