Jack.

yeah wow not good hey! im likely moving to tassie soon - was hoping for the unspoilt waters

Nice fish mate - pearler... Imagine that first hit was like a car crash!!! Ive caught heaps of snook hey but never gone over 75cm on one... my mate down Victor Harbor seems to find bigguns like your Snooky very cool fish wouldve been spewin if it nipped you off at the last second lol

Mate, whats the story? Do you have anything positive to contribute? Stick up a decent fishing report and please god save me from organisations established to represent the rec angler! Personally, i think its only a matter of time before the carpark goes and residential buildings riseim just not really that clear on who would pocket the $25mil.

Rest up mate - that explains why I haven't seen you back out and about Hope youre back soon!!!

I reckon the split grip is mainly just cosmetic appeal.The best sensitivity is going to come from a cork grip anyway.Having said the above, I really liked a mates Shimano Jewel when having a loan once and so soon found myself in a tackle shop with my 2500 Twinpower reel in one hand and a fist fulla cash in the other. I tried a few rods and found the light weight jewel balanced very nicely - This is easy I think because the split grip design would've given the makers length options to suit the balancing with standard modern 2000ish reels. In contrast the shorter full cork rods in say a GLoomis

Congrats mate!!! I wonder if there is a better fish in the ocean???Top effort- I do a lot of solo fishing and honestly mate you must have willed that fish into the boat haha cos I really doubt I could manage something like that... the wonders of adrenaline You hear stories of mums gaining super strength to protect their kids - ...and fisho's gaining super power to manhandle their catch over the gunwhales :woohoo:

Far out man - what a session nicely done !

Wow! That mustve been ridiculously good fun - well done and congrats mate!

You can take YFW at will from the reserve side of the breakwall - some dudes still did and I believe the fine was 700-800 bux.I fished there until it was pointed out to me I couldnt- damn. Was a silly rule since the fish can swim through the drain thriugh the blocks and clear accross the parsts of the breakwall at high tide anyhow See you in the spring U4L

Im very excited about this and am looking forward to a very productive spring out on those flats - very good news and thanks for the heads up mate - would never have known otherwise :)

I love fishing for Mulloway - very challenging past time - but every now and then you get one and it keeps you hooked.

Surely that thing will go for much more than 25k :ohmy:That aside, you need to be very discriminating when it comes to the motor on any given boat. Remember its the package mate BMT.Loads of people get fooled by nice hulls - especially at yards man, the dealers have all sorts of old donks stuck on decent hulls - when ive looked at boats I expect to get a boat and motor of similar vintage if not you want the motor to be younger than the boat know what I mean - be careful of nice boats repowered with donks 10-20 years older than the boat ;)My boats worth $1.99c lol but if spend8ng $20k id be rea

Not sure whats the matter with some people - horrible to see this lack of respect - and worse that I dont even think there are any laws protecting these fish :(You are right its a disgrace but its good to hear that im not the only one outraged. Feral minority do this sort of thing

Great job mate, the weather even kept me away this weekend - youre a legend getting out and in amongst it buddy - nice well deserved catch

I had a few of the cheapy ones off of ebay a year or so ago.Then got some thrown in with a birthday present.Honestly, I wouldnt bother with these. They were really crap and the overhead didnt lay the line which made it impossible to use.If anyone's considering one, I would get the brand name ones thathave a chance of working - ie not completely flimsy and shit with dodgie line and an un functional reel.cheers

Loving my bream fishing again lately. Find using blades just costs a lot of money in lost tackle. They will work nicely by im just too spaz an too poor. Plastics do a very good job and can be fished just as deep if the current is friendly. I fished a heap of structure around a storm drain in the port a few weeks back and caught a heap of bream on vibes lost 3 lures in an hour though and tied on a hook and some pilchard lol

Thats a good idea mate - sounds cool.Oi Bjorn _ I will need a Beanie too mate dont know how they work but would be good if they were cheap and easy to sort. The way just for the record - I hate them tournament style shirts

I took the Triton down there after x-mas :)Never been before and I took it very cautiously. Went down to 15psi on advice from a guru but was pleasantly surprised in my trucks performance and the track itself. seems like one of the rare b7ts of fun we south australians are allowed to have now a days lol.When I first set off a Patrol of all thi gs got stuck immediately. .. honestly dont know how that was even possible lol. Had all windows down including the rear one and me wife and two kids just cruised along in 3rd gear with the revs slightly high. Was a nice long adventure made k8nd of eeri

I.C.Well im in regardless - STRIKEHOOK -

Yeah where's that Fish Symbol gone with the hook in it, we could use that somewhere perhaps??

Right Ill have one fat Black Hoodie with little textand one light tee shirt with little text...Thats if you dont have any better design idea's up yer sleeve!?

Right then, 1: wheres these Hoodies - Winters a third of the way through! - I want a hoodie please, standard Fat Bastard size will do!2: T-Shirt too - not a polo for me, just a t-shirt mate3: oi - and i'll have two stickers please one for each side of me tinnyWhats the damage?

A friend of mine from school has asked me if I know much about old Alvey reels.Her grandfather found this one in his shed and they were wondering if it was of value and or if they were much in demand.I intend to pass your advice on the my friend.Tell you the truth im interested in whether it might be of value too.Cheers, here is some photos;
