Probably a good thing then and that'll send everyone to the wrong place

Need to get your GPS co-ordinates right mate, Perry's Bend is the BBQ area on River Road where the Onkastompa is held every year Your mark is a very good fishing spot tho' as you very rightly pointed out

Let's clear up a few fallacies here fellas.In 1990 when I arrived in Aus the first of five wetlands right along the Onka were in the process of being built, they are all now complete and although the trash racks are an imperfect anti pollutant system, they are in place and the wetlands themselves do a good job of settling out storm-water pollutants where there were no wetlands before. Moreover, the new housing scheme by Perry's Bend had as part of its concession to build, the requirement for a storm-water pond now situated on the opposite side of Perry's Bend to catch run-off storm-water!Metro

Complete waste of time in my experience!!That is one very shallow stretch of coastline without any decent gutters most of the year and no fish would be comfortable foraging in there until the surf dropped away.Additionally, there is so much weed in these conditions it's impossible to fish :ohmy:A different story entirely as the surf drops away. Killa time to be there, although the drifting remnants of weed on a big flowing tide can be a nuisance

Super cool to hang with young mate Matty, keeps me sharp and trendy

Found exactly the same on my Shimano Sienna 2500 when I was tempted to overload the spool with it all being a bit new to me. As soon as the cut offs of the wind knotted bits brought the levels back again, the line operated as sweet as, even to this day

Luv it to bits mate, used it in the salt and heaps in the fresh for more than 8 yearsand I might be a bit biased as I went from spiderline to this and never looked back 8lb Rovex Braid for the fresh and 20lb for salt

Permanently discoloured water produces very similar colouration to this fish.My theory is that Mother Nature doesn't need to give this ambush predator much natural camouflage as it doesn't need it in murky environments.Do you know if the Vic lake is murky?

Would be an absolute given if you supported RecFishSA's policies which include these sorts of actions What's the reason why we can't do it? Funding!How do we get it? RFL!When will we get it in SA? Hmmm!

One of the suggestions raised at the Meeting was that it might cost ten million bucks to remove the Jetty and what about if the jetty was given to the State plus the demolition funding, so that ongoing jetty maintainance would be covered for a long time to come?I "liked" that

WOW! This is obviously one very hot potato with lots of careful and well considered points raised. Good stuff guys, let's keep it rolling and be aware that I have alerted a few of my rec fishing contacts to the possibilities from getting a good outcome for not only rec. fishers, but also the many other interested stakeholders such as Conservationists, Educators Scuba Divers and don't forget your average citizen who likes nothing better than a stroll along one of SA's many public jetties on a pleasant day. This is a nice long jetty and one of the suggestions raised in today's Tiser was that of

Yep. just snatched the Trophy Leader away from the regular "Cod Boys" for the first time in many years :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy: The battle is on :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: (Funny looking "Sensational Silver Perch" tho' Phil, :silly: )I think I'd be tempted to put that lunker Cod on it's own special post???Awesome effort mate

Hi Guys,Just finished reading an article in the "Tiser" about all the proposed actions that are being bandied around about the "Stanvac" site, now that the Petroleum Company is committed to and has commenced, the rehabilitation of the site!Onkaparinga Council has been negotiating with various stakeholders and the thing that made me sit up was that the Jetty, which would be a massive fishing plus for the State's recreational anglers, is planned to be demolished, UNLESS, funding can be provided to make it into a viable asset to the Community??What do we think about mounting a campaign through t

WOW! Trophy winner in a SAFWAA Dam all day long Jimbo :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: Well done and when are you gonna upgrade that banana rod of yours to a real rod

A team of flies on a bubble float is so effective, mostly at night for trout, that the method is banned on most waters in the UK :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy: http://globalflyfisher.com/fishbetter/bubble.htm

Honestly fellas, you would be bored rigid if you could guarantee hammering heaps of fish out wherever you went, no matter what the situation, or weather or your mood was on the day!!This thread reminds me of the story of the trout fly fishing addict who had spent his whole life devoted to his passion and was Internationally famous. When he died he rocked up at the pearly gates and the Boss asked him what would be his dearest wish and it would be granted him? The guy said that he'd never ever caught a 20 lb trout on a Fly and he would love to do that. So, the Boss takes him by the hand and lea

An article in the Tiser recently about the survey of pingys on Granite Island had their numbers down to a mere 25 :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy: The reporter, thankfully, did pick up that pingys are a major diet item of the NZ Seals

Shane likes the pics to be a minimum of 500kbs and upwards for publishing quality guys.Camera on the phone rarely hacks it? In focus is a given

The alternative, of no regulation at all, is impossible to comprehend Damien :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy:

I dunno if I'm correct or not' date=' but I was of the belief that the outfall and silt from Penrice wasn't nutrient rich' date=' but was instead quite harmless sodium bicarbonate by-product, whose greatest effect was only slightly altering the pH of the surrounding water. ...........I'd like to be corrected if I'm wrong.What I AM aware of though, is that they entered a $1.5M clean-up back in 2006, to dredge around 150,000 cubic metres of silt from the port and remove their built up silt, where it is now taken to Penrice land for drying prior to being blended as landfill.[/quote'']http://www.c
