  1. We got heaps of big Razor fish when helping my mate on his Oyster lease over at Smokey bay ,he got me to soak the razor fish hearts in tank water overnight , they double in size , then after sitting in salt water for an hour or 2 , then do the pickling . YUMMO Yep soak in rain water, old trick used by some when selling in jars in pubs in Port Augusta when I was much younger.
  2. Sorry Panga I can't help with the Scallop question but, Could not agree more. Complement flavours when cooking or preparing food not destroy them. @Panga, may as well cut circles out of stingray flaps and pickle them. we pickle what is left after pigging out on the ones we freshly caught. Might try freezing? instead? as for destroying the delicate and sweet crabs, I can't understand why people smother their food in things like chili and garlic, disgusting! Sorry, my opinion only
  3. As Twain said "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated" but I can tell you I thought I was a gonna. Thanx to my family for quick action (Nick rang 911), the SA Ambo's and amazing staff at the QEH. Severe anaphalactic reaction to unknown source saw me soaking wet, unable to take a normal breath, swollen limbs, blurred vision and red rash all over. Very low blood pressure and erratic pulse saw me in hospital overnight. Drips in both arms and multiple adrenaline shots to stabilize and I am now home. I was sure I was having a stroke but have been assured that is not the case and heart &
  4. Poppa we only need to talk and share our adventures. We have met before on the wet stuff. Always want to fish with others that, lke yourself that have input to the site mate. you have me intrigued sir. Or confused, but age and alcohol does that to me I'm afraid
  5. great to have good sponsors! look forward to your reports from up north Panga and needing a crew for Yorkes fishing? hhmmmmm wish we were better aquainted
  6. Excuse me for butting in on your thread but I am hoping to have my first real go at this soft plastic malarkey soon. I was thinking of using similar to the picture below as I already have them, thoughts? Also being fairly new to braid (and lazy) I generally have a swivel tied to the main line then clip a length of mono paternoster rigged. I thought a length of mono to the clip below and on to the SP would work??? Please don't try and teach me one of those ridiculous knots where you need 3 hands, wrap it round your big toes and need the dexterity of a contortionist to tie it thinking
  7. wimp I will take that as good humour.........I think? But when you are waiting on a knee replacement, have 2 bulging discs and had inflamed bursars in both shoulders well ya gotta be a little cautious
  8. sick wife Friday/Saturday saw me doing home duties. Was gunna flick Snowdens today but after bragging my shoulder injury has almost fully repaired itself I woke up to shooting pains down my arm this morning. No fishing report here
  9. between baby sitting grandies I was thinking about walking Snowdens with my first attempt at soft plastics. thoughts?
  10. FFS, not what I started this thread for! Only saw that a govt. is actively trying to increase rec fishing numbers mods delete the whole thread, I am out of here. bye
  11. Hey bratko, no offence taken. I just thought it was interesting how their government wants more people fishing. Our seems to be heading the other way. Maybe they see the economic value in us???
  12. Saw an advert on free to air today so had a look on the web "The State Government is committed to delivering its $46 million Target One Million plan for recreational fishing, which aims to grow participation to one million anglers by 2020. To get more .........'s fishing, more often, Target One Million" fill in the blanks....clue? not Sth Aust! Sth Aust grubbermunts want lees fishers, less often catching less fish it seems. My opinion. don't hate
  13. geez I clicked on this in record time.....thought it said BRALESS sorry I can't help with your query but one of the lads surely will
  14. May I once again say I did not post this to start a fight between us fishos. please play nice. The author of the video has more to watch both older and newer but I will not be posting links to these for obvious reasons. I also do not know him personally it was just something I found while cruising fishing stories on the interweb
  15. I have "liked" your post and enjoy your point of view but I guess this is aimed at me? I have already stated that I am NOT against a RFL and attempted to supply something I found to this forums members. I don't know if I will bother again
  16. whilst i respect your opinions and your right to air them I hardly think "Bahahaha, thats the dumbest thing I've watched all day." is putting it sweetly As for other licenses plenty drive without one & unregistered, I am in a trade industry and there are plenty of "tradies" doing cash jobs with no invoice, no GST and no COC so that is working. I cannot see every rec fisher paying for a RFL and those that get caught will get numerous warning like they do now for undersize crab brigade. There was, as at Jan 2016 $6 mill from the boat levy supposed to be spent to upgrade facilities si
  17. sorry can only supply the Hansard copy and Les does not wear a tin foil hat http://www.recfishcentral.com/web-content/research/msf_2016_bayly.pdf
  18. I hope mods approve? If not delete watch his other vids also
  19. all I can see that is missing is you laying back on a chaise with the concubines feeding you grapes and wine whilst fanning you
