Surely my Mack thread must be right up there..LOLLOLOLOLOLOLit gave away the best tip of all. Let the bait sink to 12-15 feet and use two splitties. Have to agree that Kelvin and 4Tha have been setting the bar fairly high

Hi all,Finally got out in the boat today, launched from st kilda ended up with about 2 dozen good size tommies, 10 crabs and a couple of whiting. The crabs still seem hard to find. there seems to be a lot of salmon trout around is this normal? had a school of them come to the back of the boat all just undersize. Was a nice to get back out there and have some me time.Cheers Fisho

Hi, when using live bait I use two snelled hooks usually 6/0's I put one hook in the live baits tail and usually have the other hook floating a bit bellow the hook in the fishes tail. Give it a try and see how ya go, works for me.Cheers Fisho

Went to Seacliff today and fishing in front the lifesaving club. No wind and the water really calm. The water crystal clear.. but managed to land one 30cm bream, 2 YFW 34c and 37cm which is the biggest YFW i ever caught so far. I may caught more if i didn't lost my rig so i decide to go home.

Managed to knock up a feed today with moggy &hsv Hsv hooked a gar which then got swallowed by a bronzie which then in a calamity of errors was lost boat side due to a recently purchased ego 2 slider net breaking into 2, prety pissed off moggy got it on video not sure what its like as havnt had chance to watch it yet was funny on his gar rod though--mog dropped a near on metre snook today ,also on his gar rigCheers 4THA

I dont reply to forums much anymore, but i cant let this one past,Fishing is so much more than throwing in a line and wanting a bag limit,Its the planning the trip, the thrill of a new spot, the night before tying rigs and dreaming of the mecca fish,the sun rising as your heading out with wildlife and dolphins,its the unexpected, the never knowing,the antisipation, watching the rod tip while enjoying a cuppa.always learning a lifetime couldnt teach you everything, never boring, the satifacion when , yes not often or always, but the times it does all come together.A sport you can enjoy with 3 generations, the mates, the wife, or in solitary bliss,Once it was a commonality, a mateship quickly struck with strangers, with a common interest or obsesion.you can take it as serious with comps and records or as casual as you like.yes theres more of some species and less of others, theres the rude ones, or just plain new, as with the rest of the world, more regs and rules, Im on a dissability pension that isnt obvious, like a wheelchair, I volunteer, conribute to society, work when i can, I live on a pittance and fishing, is a luxury, an excersise, and bloody good therapy,I get told often, "its okay for people like you" ?I get told to get a job, pay taxes, i voted for the gst so i could.Id give you a fag if it wasnt my last one, help you put your boat in, tow you back if you got stuck, i share my catch when im lucky enough to get enough.Ive passed on the little i know to many, I went from line wound on a coke bottle to a proper hand line, then a rod as a gift, now i have a stacer, i support my tackle shop, the term used to be "the patience of a fisherman"I thank the universe when i feel well enough, when everything falls into place and i get to go fishing, I return ready to face all the rest again, till next trip.Ali

I have been told there is bream in there but I have a feeling it is connected to bolivar treatment plant somehow not 100% sure on that one though :sick: Cheers Fisho

Well looks like im gonna have to buy my wife a freezer and my kids one each too...and all live in seperate houses if I want to do our normal YEARLY trip.I do a whiting trip every year to Davenport / Ceduna for 10 days OK we bag out every day We fillet our days catch and date every bag before freezing Fisheries guys have inspected our catches on two occasions all good with them ... Do the right thing and they do right by you.The only thing I have ever been chatted about and rightly so I was scaling all our catch and another boats as they went back to camp to prepare lunch ...I had two boat limits on board I invited fisheries into our camp (which was 50m away and in clear view) to inspect everything we had caught for the past 4 days .... and all was good.I admit in that particular Week we take our full limit But...that lasts our families about8 Months with a feed per week ...Looks like Ceduna will now miss out on my Tourist Dollars cos I may as well just buy a feed very weekand let the supermarkets Freeze it for me Bloody Gale Gaga I wonder if she has had the Pivelege of catching a fish ...preparing it forHer family and seen the enjoyment and gratitude on thier faces for doing so.Another Blow for the reccy

my self and a mate ended up with 12 befor the dolphin showed up and they went off the bite

Should have stayed D1, they went crazy after you left!

Hi I brought a palagic rod from ebay a while ago it lasted two sessions so personally I wouldn't recommend buying one support your local stores mate at least if something goes wrong with what ever you buy from your local tackle shop it's easy to take it back. Thats my opinion anyway.Cheers Fisho

Going to try again this afternoon fisho, so I'll let you know.
