HB tragic

Weather permitting I should haul out the trout bag Saturday with some Rex hunt cutters I found at the charity I volunteer at .

Ok I looked the bag up it’s a Daiwa trout shoulder bag should do the trick hopefully very soon 

Ok guys and HBT I went into tackleworld. They were out of the rapala sling tackle bag out of the shimano one . I did however buy a Diawa shoulder bag small light should do the trick . Hopefully in the coming weeks I’ll be back 

I occasionally use one of these.

Hi Micky. Depending on what you want to spend I have been very happy with my Rapala Sling bag. Another option to look at. Last time I was in Tackleworld on Port Road they had a few in 2 dfferent sizes. Regards, HBt.

Hi Micky. Check out the Shimano Sling tackle bag at BCF. Might be what you want. Regards, HBt.

I looked it up looks good would like to see it before I buy it though . I’ll get it sorted 

Hi Micky. They certainly have it in their online store. You may be able to get it 'click and collect'.  Regards, HBt.

I've not used an OSP but i dare say with those being the pinnacle of bent's it will be different. I'm sure if you work the Berkley right you will get fish... i even managed to  

On a family walk around Westlakes today and came across the below.
 



Majority of the school was 30 and above, with a few genuine brutes that too the eye were mid 40s!!
They were just milling about, with no obvious reason for them to be there. I sat and just watched them for about 15 minutes, completely mesmerised.
For those that target Bream often, is this a normal occurrence?  

Hi all,
So just got back from the holiday manged two salmon one 38cm and the other 40cm off the rocks and a small fiddler ray probably round 60cm
I caught three small flatty's and some kgw whiting mostly bloody trumpeters but I managed a couple of salmon trout and a mullet off the shore.
I also managed my first flatty on a small savage gear pencil lure which was exciting as this was the first time I had used the lure so I didnt really know if I was using it correctly, all I did was rod tip down and slow wind then bam little flatty jumped on.
Still beats adelaide fishing just a pitty there were heaps of trumpeters getting to the bait before the whiting.
heres a couple of photos of the trip
 
 
 
 

South Oz rods would probably be your best bet.

You might find the mid reaches of the onk a bit better this time of year as the breeders and bigger fish do move downstream after they have done there business 

I find just before and after the closures of the upper onk. 

found the pics of my old Noarlunga PB
this was caught on a good old wriggler but memory and was released perfectly 

Plenty of good size ones in there. Good fun sight casting at them in the shallows at the back of the footy oval.
Go to plastic is the Ecogear Aquaprawn unweighted and on a weedless hook.
Look for the feeding fish by using polarised sunnies and look for the golden flashes. 
Hope this helps
 

So much for a family orientated forum

Can think of 2 words: 'Shimano Bling'. 😉 Regards, HBt.

It's the overall weight and balance of the outfit mate. That and I like to use 6lb braid, so the 3kg of drag is ample.
It's one of those things you have to try for yourself. There is no right/wrong answer, it's just what ever suits you best. 
Maybe start with the rod you going to pair it with, the species you intend on targeting with it, how you intend on targeting them, then the size braid you are going to use. That should narrow it down.

Based on where he puts his finger the Pursuit 2500 is a perfect balance , but clearly to me it's a bit heavy for this rod. I think it's a lot more complex to work out balance than a single pivot point as rod angle / lure type and preferred hand position and grip will have a big effect on comfort.

Love 1000 size reels, I run two different model stradics and they are my favourite
 

As anorher helper (^^^ like TL) my favourite combo includes a Shimano 1000. Some will say you will have casting issues with a small spool but personally have not had any ...  YET. A great size reel to use and should generally be enough for the bream and generally the bycatch too. Regards HBt.

I like this philosophy. 
Drink an entire bottle of wine, so you can then discard the empty bottle. Thats the "out" taken care of. Then go buy the Vanford.

I used to have a 1000 and 1500 Fuego which were the American equivilant of our legendary 'Bluvias'. Great reels and very light. Only mentioned once here and a 'big' call but if the newer Fuego is even 1/2 as good as the older models I would be getting the Fuego. Unfortunately they dont come with a spare spool like the older models did. 😪  Good luck with your choice. Regards, HBt.
