On thinking about it, it's perfectly legal to wade out and use a rake to get crabs (and has been for a long time) so I can't see why you wouldn't be able to wade out and fish too.

Give us a shout whenever you head down fella. If I am out the back of the shop I'll usually be keen to come over for a fish.

Morning Hookers! Today I have some exciting news; the St Kilda - Chapman's Creek aquatic reserve has been lifted for land based fishing as of midnight last night. The reserve has been there for approximately 25 years and this morning Minister Gago, Lisa Vlahos (Member for Taylor) and Susan Close (Member for Port Adelaide) came down to announce that it has now been opened. What this means is that it is now legal for people to fish and crab, land based, on the right hand side of the St Kilda break wall and all along the water front of the right hand side.Some things to be aware of:Bait digging a

Pretty much my entire young fishing life was Bad Weather stories as I mostly preferred to fish for big salmon in the dead of winter. The best times were when it was freezing cold, pouring with rain and windy. I'd jump on my bike with my wet weather gear and a rod, my friends would look at me like I was insane, and I'd be on my way.Sitting out on the rocks in those conditions at a number of places around Port Lincoln (Kirton Point, Billy Lights, Axel Stenross, The Oasis) almost always produced a few proper Australian Salmon. To me as a kid, there wasn't much better sitting huddled in the lee of

Nice one dude.

If you're interested the process is called Geotagging: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geotagging"Geotagging (also written as GeoTagging) is the process of adding geographical identification metadata to various media such as a geotagged photograph or video, websites, SMS messages, QR Codes[1] or RSS feeds and is a form of geospatial metadata. This data usually consists of latitude and longitude coordinates, though they can also include altitude, bearing, distance, accuracy data, and place names."A lot of modern cameras include Geotagging functions these days.

Flathead on lures/soft plastics. Nothing better than wading in knee deep water on a nice warm day flicking a minnow and suddenly feeling that hit as you skip it across the bottom.

There are quite a few laws surrounding Sharking in the Adelaide Metro Area these days southcoastfisho.I think kon already posted a link for you but I'll put it in here too since this thread turned out to be more popular: New Shark Fishing RegulationsAs for eating: I believe most people target small bronzies and schoolies for eating. Around 3-4ft seems to be the best size.Good luck mate. Looking forward to reading reports on your hopefully successful adventures.

A lot of my customers still use hand lines for everything. Last time I went out with one of my regulars, an older Greek bloke, we spent the day hand lining mackrel, tommies and gar. It was great, haven't done that since I was about 12.

Good on ya mate. Nice vid and good to see the Swivels Original Fish Measure in action. Should hit them up for some sponsorship of your next adventure!

Yep, one great advantage of having a missus that works at JB! :whistle:

My fiancee is awesome. :woohoo:

Robson by far. Even my missus loves Robson Green. Able to crack me up every episode and catches awesome fish too.

Yeah, worms and gents are two live baits that are always good. Even then though, there's a lot of behind the scenes work to keep tubies or other types of worms fresh. Have to wash them, keep the tubs clean and change the water once a day (twice a day if the weather is hot). If our shops weren't located right next to the water it would be hard to keep them as good as we do. One accident can mean we lose a few kilo's of worms which is obviously never a good thing. I'd hate to try and replicate that with fish where a lot more variables are involved.

Not sure on the legalities of selling live bait, but from someone who works in a tackle shops perspective $4 or $5 would not be unreasonable. I'd be more inclined to think more along the lines of $7 - $8 per bait. We'd have to get a big tank, pumps, cleaning supplies, heaters, electricity, wages not to mention the effort needed to keep them in top condition (because who wants crappy livies?).I don't think it would be worth it for either the supplier or the consumer personally.

Is there a setting on it which lets me catch any species of fish in any body of water? Because that's the only way I'm spending $400 on a bloody lure.

Thank you for relaying the message rotare. As such I am now going to lock this topic as I don't think there needs to be any more discussion on the matter as we all know where it will inevitably lead. If Ranger or Bjorn feel like this is something that need to be reopened, they will do so.Cheers,Ugly.

Pretty sure it's a Goby. I've seen them caught in the St Kilda channel before and they look pretty damn similar to that one.

PM sent mate.

Nice one mate. Not much better than when the Salmon are going off IMO.

Nice Bream mate, congrats on the PB.

I don't mind the Kershaw knives a lot of shops are stocking these days. Also Frosts/Mora have been long time favorites:

I'd love to get over to Elliston again. Not going to happen this year, but I can dream.
