Good to see you're still getting stuck in Alex. Always a pleasure reading your reports.

Cracker. Haven't seen a mullet like that in a while. Well done lads.

That's my wet dream.

They're good reels, but we had a hell of a lot of trouble getting parts for them when people brought them in for repairs. Just be aware of that, I guess.

Maria's. And yeah they're a great little metal lure and not too pricey either.

Witnessed a guy lugging what had to be a mully back across the rocks from the inner breakwater when I first started working there, and have nailed 2 decent flatties in there on plastics plus lots of trouties. Just stay out of the way of the boaties, they always have priority over fishing in all parts of the marina.

Congrats southie! I love fly fishing but haven't done it for years. One day I'll get back into it.My first was a little Tommy Ruff in Coffins Bay many many years ago.

Went and had a little fish off the rocks out the front of the shop this morning as it's pretty slow here.Bam, bam, bam troutie after troutie all decent size, all released. Even got a double header on the one lure! One on the front treb and one on the back! Using a Duo Toto and just cranking it in fast. Good, quick session and some nice fish to get me back in the game.

Cheers.Bummer pauly.

Okay, I'll admit it I am yet to have a fish in 2014. No, not catch a fish, have a fish. At all. Haven't even looked at my fishing gear yet! :woohoo: It's been a reasonably busy summer both at work and at home so now that it's starting to wind down I am hoping the Salmon start showing up and I can get my first fish in. Over the last few years I've decided that Salmon are by far my favourite fish to catch. Most of my quality gear was bought with chasing Salmon around 1kg for sport in mind. I heard some good reports at the shop of fish over 45cm being caught by guys out in the boats within the l

the t-curves are really good rods. can't go wrong. popular and reliable.don't know about the ifish nano's as I haven't seen one, but the catana nano's are great.

Yeah projoe's pretty much on the money. Unfortunately you generally won't get a single piece replaced like that, usually if it's under warranty they will replace the entire rod. The Jewels have been replaced by the new range of Catana's which are really nice rods. The Catana Nano's are the same price range and in my opinion, better quality rods than the Jewels.

Seriously fail to understand how people can say this stuff with a straight face. Yes it's so effective that you can't even spot 1 in 5 sharks off the coast. That's the very definition of effectiveness right there... /sarcasm

Can't say I didn't see this coming. Where was the promised consultation and review? Oh that's right, the latte sipping greenies who got this introduced in the first place had their consultation and review 12 months ago.

As well as the births, it's also damaging the properties on that side deeper into the marina.

Sure it wasn't Stren Microfuse? I've been using it for years and love it. It's my braid of choice. One of my rods has been spooled up with the same 2lb Stren for 5 years and it still hasn't failed me.

No, not lazy at all, but neither am I inclined to call you. We've spoken to Craig Evans directly about the topic in a lengthy meeting (as it directly affects our business) and I'm happy to take Moggy on his word about the things Gary Johanson had to say. Surely if the information is confidential and you tell me and then I repeat it, it's on your head as much as mine?I'm just wondering why you would choose to come here to comment on something like this if you have nothing you can actually contribute to the thread other than cryptic messages? If I recall correctly this isn't the first time you'v

Here is a letter from Craig Evans posted on the CYC website here: http://www.cycsa.com.au/events/north-haven-inner-breakwater-and-boat-ramp

This is what it says in SA Angler: "It is no longer a stated owned facility, but one that was built by the Dunstan Government back in the '70s and sold off quite early in its 40 year history." What the deal was surrounding that transaction I have no idea.

It's a private ramp, open to the public and completely owned by CYCSA. The distinction being that the CYC are sacrificing land that, as you say, could be used for housing or heaps of other things that would generate revenue and offering it to the public instead. I think they should be given some credit for that. Thy're under no obligation to keep it there or keep offering the services to the public but they do...I'm not saying they're doing it solely out of the goodness of their hearts, but surely the fact that they could have closed it down to make more money ages ago has to count for somethi

Okay here's the info on what's going on here (to the best of my knowledge):The CYC are a non-profit community club. Raising money for them is actually a lot harder than you would imagine with all those big boats parked in there. So far they have raised $1 million towards the extension of the breakwater, which will cost around $2 million. They are asking the government chip in the rest of the funds and in exchange they are guaranteeing the North Haven Ramp will stay open to the public and be maintained until 2023. However, the government want them to guarantee that the ramp stays open until 207

Well done! Not hitting them yet, but I have some time off shortly and the rods are rigged and ready for a few early morning Largs sessions!

Mate that's a great fish. Big salmon have to be in my top 5 favourite fish to catch.
