Down south , there's a few other blokes that have failed to get them this year also. I wonder if its possible they've moved on or bee. Fished out .

I havnt been able to pull a single one from my usual spot this year , can't work it out cos I've got them there for years

I can't go past Malcom Douglas.. his last trips up north kimberleys in search of the big barra were bloody brilliant! rest in peace champ Only other decent tv fishing was when Rexie was doin his thing :woohoo: Rex Hunt can fish!!

shimano? never heard of it :whistle: . Most of my reels are small med size spin. All daiwa. I have had no trouble with any of them . I feel you get what you pay for and my reels get well used and most of them are as smooth as the day they were first used.rods I also own majority daiwa rods. I can not go passed my 10-14lb sol rod for snapper.

nice bit of comedy

When fishing landbased for reds I'll use a running 'O' ring on the mainline then tie 6-10lb mono from this to the sinker so if the sinker snags you'll break it away fairly easily without losing your whole rig. If using paternoster rig then tie length of light line below bottom hook to sinker for the same reason.

When using circles I will use the next size hook up from what I would in an octopus hook.

I would def go the saltiga. although for a surf reel I would go for something cheaper. the two reels I use for my mullies in the surf are a daiwa windcast and a daiwa saltist. both handle any size mully. I also use the saltist on a monster mesh rod for kingies and tuna from the boat.

ive caught them on small metal slices

sounds like a great :c sesh. some nice :c fish. :c :c :c :c :c nothing better than feeling that first head shake of a solid :c red especially your :c first. sorry bout the language been hanging around that :c UHF bloke :silly: :silly:

They won't be secrets if I tell u . Lol :whistle:

Dead right there mate. I told the mrs one night last week that i was gonna go for a fish after work.... got home at 730am the following day. I wasnt popular until i showed her the lute

gday mate,I have a Penn big game surf rod 10ft 6-15kg. very light and heaps of power. Ive caught solid salmon and mullies on this rod with ease and i reckon there only around $130.

apparently they cast a mile. I myself wouldnt really go for one, I reckon it would be easy to get sand and salt inside it and therefore cause abrasion to your lines.

I have a rogue tackle bag, fits 5 of those plastic tray things, has a large zipper section at front for all my leader material and a top compartment where I keep all my pre tide rigs in snap lock bags. I find it fits plenty of gear dosent take up to much room and its easy to find what you need in a hurry.cheers ABF

Screw pile and bluff jettys are always good for tommies and squid , waits is only 11km from.victor if you want to try for a few salmon trout off the beach . Good luck mate

Plenty of spots in the area depending on what you are fishing from and what you want to catch. Bit more info and you will get plenty of tips

looks like a cracker rod. good job mate.

Braid has zero stretch and zero memory. so you can feel every bite. I think the fresh water guys tend to use the more dark green sorta colours (correct me if im wrong). The multi colour braids are to give you some idea of the depth of line out ie each colour resembles a different depth.you do need to run a mono or flurocarbon leader from your braid rule of thumb about the length of your rod.About 3 years ago i tried braid on one of my reels loved it so much I spooled all my reels and havnt looked back since. There are a couple of new knots to learn for tying braid but nothing to hard.cheers ABF
