one of the old school shark fishos that fishes down henley during the season fishes uncoated wire for bronzies and has no worries at all, one it does seem to bother sometimes can be hammer heads

any little ones being caught atm? might have to hit up st kilda in the boat

Assuming your also down there fishing in that second photo your also fishing in a no fish zone. There's some old renagde that always comes down and abuses u if you fish there. You'll probably find him under the Charles Sturts managers desk on often occasions. I don't understand why you can't fish along that area. But I guess if u have a issue all you can do is call fisheries.

They wouldn't have had evidence on the other guy seeing as there isn't a photo of him using the illegal gear along with a shark beside him, cant fine him if you cant prove he was, guess the only way they could fine the first bloke was because theres a blatant photo of him with wire.... but if you play your cards right you could have still talked your way out of it.

I wont go into this at much other than this law is complete rubbish.You can technically still shark fish during the day as you can use hooks upto 4/0 or 6/0? and highest pound mono possible. So your legally still able to shark fish during the day at any time, whats the difference between taking a bait out on wire and taking a bait out on mono 200m? where this laws reason behind it is your bring in sharks close to shore yet you can still fish mono and still have a chance of catching it on mono anyway, wheres the logic in that? 1 fish out in the middle of a massive coastline. Your aloud to shark

ray annes for %90 of my tackle, i enjoy going in there and giving bruce shit, guys also help me out with any questions i have. And swing in for the last minute things at tackle and tucker matt and nick are good blokes!

went over st kilda way got 6 snook 4 salmon trout and 3 nice sized tommys, some big schools of tommys getting around in st kilda, also spotted large amounts of crabs in st kilda around the weed beds

caught the same dogshark twice in 30mins, not that they probably count lol

50lb for big ones if that what you want, I used to run 30lb but after alot of talking and reading, if you want to release the shark in the best health possible go 50lb.. With 30lb running that less drag makes the fight last longer making the shark work harder for longer which in turn gives it less chance for survival. I see people get into trouble on 50lb let alone 30lbGood luck

I've got photos of mates hooked up last season on 50lb 50w and sitting with about 150m of line left. 50w is a perfect reel for big sharks. I just got back from grange hooked into a big smoothie on 50lb on a small overhead had 350m of line on it nearly got spooled on its first run. A good quality 50w not only holds 700+ meters of 50lb also has a good drag system to be able to run big drag pressure for large amount of time and not heat up. Buy what you want it's up to you but if you loose a fish of a life time you'll be the one in tears not me.. Every shark fisher I know runs a 50w or 9/0 from l

I would be looking at a 50w and a 15-24, 24kg rod. for land based fishing.Reel wise, i know you would have to be unlucky but the tld50s the reels are made from graphite which is why they are so light which i have seen pictures floating around the net off them smashing apart at the reel seat, but i do believe you would have to be very unlucky. They have fin-nor Santiagos at ray annes for 525 for a 50w, the tld are 400, if you have the cash go the fin-nor if i was you. Mind you if you dont want the added features of the 2speed and bling factor just use your 9/0.24-37kg is too broomstick for me,

sharks shark and more sharks! will be out pillaging the seas of snook on rod and reel for fun and bait! and hopefully learn to find some small school mulloway in the port area.

Plenty to be caught at the right place right time, hsv88 proved you can get big fish last year in the upper parts of the port river, why wouldnt they be along the rocks? A friend going back 4 years ago caught a 9kg snapper off the observation platform.good luck

plenty of carp to be caught in the wetlands, caught plenty, one of my friend fly fishes for them in there

went down to southport today at the mouth not even a touch! didnt even see one get caught.last year saw alot of birds hitting baitfish at the end of outer harbor rock wall the salmon pushed them up caught a couple upto 41cm good fun on 2lb! really want to get onto some this year.Uploaded with ImageShack.usedit: dont know if its common or not but saw a whale off selicks about 200m out.

We got there at 9.30 and it was absolutely packed shoulder to shoulder. We ended up going to the other small pond to fish that. Rocked up and saw a few guys hooked upto some good carp, we felt good but didnt even up getting a bite after 4 hours.A old bloke and family then rocked up with there remote controlled boat, he ended up flipping the boat in the center, he had to swim out to get to it. The poor bloke dont know what happened but went under water started to drown, so it ended up being his daughters boyfriend jumped in to save him and my mate was a faster runner than me so he ran around th

Another fisho on my facebook said he helped him lift it up and was atleast 160cm on a suft rod and pilly.He said he didnt have his phone on him, and the guy was going to sms him a pic of it, but still havent seen pics.Who knows

thanks guys will check it out, hopefully can find a place to get magnets to save getting them from overseas.

Hey guys,I have a really good condition old penn longbeach 60 ally spool holds a nice amount of line for bottom bashing and runs some nice drag, i enjoy using the reel but i have alot of issues with it over spooling on me, resulting in the next step of a birds nest, the eagle nest. I was wondering if any of you guys have magged a reel before and if anyone knows who sells all sorts of magnets in adelaide as its not something i have looked for before. Cheers.

Hey mate,Caught heaps of these things, they are good fun. We fish pretty light on small overheads some times we pull out the bream gear for the most fun, be careful though if you hook a good one and you dont have the best drags they will fry them lol.Aim for shallow water with them not deep for best results they like to come up and bask on the flats in the sun you will find alot of them in knee deep water, i like to fish for them when the tides up and the flats have water on them, sometimes we will site cast for them sometimes anchor. If you anchor for them chuck some berley under the boat and

"All fishing activities using a wire trace and/or a fishing hook with a gape exceeding 18 mm and/or a length exceeding 50 mm is prohibited from the Outer Harbour Breakwater to Lady Bay from the mean high water mark to a distance of 500 m out to sea."http://www.pir.sa.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0004/167683/fisheries_map_v2.pdf Thanks, dont know why they didnt put that in the news article. If a shark is 500m off shore what stops it coming in 500m more

My question is.It doesnt mention anything regarding fishing out of a boat? I dont know why they banned gang hooks what does that have to do with anything.What happens with the long liners?I hope shark sightings go through the roof this year, not that i wish danger apon anyone. If they want to force me to fish after 9pm, within law ill consider starting to berley. Not that it may do alot seeing as your still aloud a large amount of crab nets per person. Atleast with it being 9pm i have more chance of avoiding all the crabbers.edit: sorry was ment to be in pirsa thread

The new restrictions for shark fishing / general fishing.http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/south-australia/shark-off-menu-metro-fishing-ban/story-e6frea83-1226270158791?fb_ref=rec-top&fb_source=tickerdialog_multilineWhats next....

Has anyone had any success in westlakes lately? I have been out atleast 10 times for nothing. I didnt think a place like westlakes would shut down unless its just me? Back in oct/nov me and my mates were going well.I was also told in winter alot of larger mulloway would hold up in the top end of the port, and as it gets warmer they tend to move into the garden island area is that true, or are they year round in the same area?thanks

Going to spend alot of time this year really hitting them hard try to get into the port with the boat and give them a soild crackHit westlakes tonight braved the storm to no luck, thought we would have been in for a good chance tonight. In my opinion and fishing westlakes its just pure luck, cant put it down to a tide because its artifical unless someone can correct me on that, but if you know where to find the baitschools, your in with a chance.Will keep and eye on this thread.Im always keen for a mully fish if anyone heads out drop me a pm and i might swing down for a fish.Good work to jack
