when I was there the other day there is a freshly painted "no crab nets allowed" at the start of the jetty (on the ground).

Came accross this post.Just to confirm, there has been no change to the rules. Port Noarlunga Jetty is within the Port Noarlunga Aquatic Reserve.Rod and Handline Fishing is the only permitted activity from the jetty.Crabs nets are not allowed.No fishing at all is allowed past the yellow line on the jetty.TroyFisheries OfficerBirkenhead

"don't believe everything you read" I guess it all depends upon the conditions,and personal observations.......everyday and everyone is different.It's what-ever works

A float is used forcasting weightdrifting out a baitholding and releasing burleybetter presentation (finesse)suspending a bait at a particular depthindicating a biteGenerally floats are only used for surface feeding fish here is SA as the fishing pressure is much less, and the level of finesse presentations is not required. Many bottom feeding fish do not require a floating rig.I use a float for shark fishing (balloon), pencil or burley float for tommies and gar, small float with whitebait 1m under the surface for snook and small egg float for squidding.Generally whiting snapper, flathead and bream feed closer to the bottom and do not require the use of a float rig.

If you have a book with what rigs to use and it doesnt show a float then it wont need a float. Only really use floats for garfish and tommies. Bigger fish sometimes but that'll be in your book!
