I just get on my hands and knees and fell for them with my hands ' date='found this to be easy enough might not get as many as quick but it is all fun ,i found a spot where they were but thought i would move bad idea took me a while to find another patch[/quote']My method.

Sure taste good, one of my favourites.

Aren't they rare to catch?

That is totally appalling.

hi blightmadi69 thank you for the response. can i ask what soft plastics and hard bodies are? is that a type of lure? I prefer the fresh water fishing (trout) coming from a fly fishing background and trout fishing I have resorted to using the bubble and fly and the spinners to no avail. I will try using the white bait and prawns and see how i go. Are there trout in the river do you know?

Blood worm has been working well recently too . As was mentioned there is a closed bream season at the mo but downriver from south road bridge is ok . And between south rd and the bike path bridge (or old railway bridge) which is downriver has done alright lately . If you want to catch up for a fish just sing out . Good luck and welcome to the site .

Hi JamesLet me know next time your doing a bit of fishing and I can join you that would be great. Is the bike path bridge the wooden one thats further up river?Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions

Anywhere cheapest really.I have used,Ray And Annes(Apart from a hassle last time I ordered my new rod, they've been pretty good)MotackleAnglers Choice(Terrific bait)Tacklewarehouse.com(huge range of lures and all)Fishin.com.auBigWFishusa.com(Cheapest allround for Rapalas, Berkley stuff)local Sportscene in Victor HarboreBay

I was told once by a reputable local tackle store owner that it is illegal to use imported seafood fit for human consumption as bait.. by doing so you'd be creating a disease pathway for the introduction of exotic diseases into Australia's marine and aquaculture resources.I do know that imported bait has to be "Zapped" to kill off all pathogens once it arrives into the Country but not the fish feed for the tuna farms hence the pilchard killoff a few years back.. Not sure about seafood fit for humans. So effectively it is okay for us to eat the dodgey imported seafood but not put it into our waterways for risk of introducing diseases into our Fishery

I don't care, less carp is good, however they die.

How do the Airds hold up with saltwater use? Are the bearings crbb?

Well, my General purpose baitfishing rod is a 99c Pelagic Hypaspin...Although for lure fishing and all I would steer clear from them.

Other option is to rig a dry or wet on a dropper above a micro unweighted soft plastic, like a Berkley Power Nymph.

Awesome mate.

Never had any problems with sea lice myself...

I did try that once with a handline lol! When I was younger...

Would this way work to butterfly fillet any other kinds of fish?

Congratulations!

I forgot this was my thread :)I ended up with a 3 piece 2-4kg raider very handy!

Yes! Great news!

We have the most hypocritical government and prime minister ever! This is about the worst thing ever this supertrawler, and it is totally hypocritical for the government to clear these marine parks for so-called protection for fish stocks, yet allow this supertrawler to plunder these fish stocks; this'll be the destruction of Australia's recreational and commerical fisheries. We need a government that listens to the people of Australia, not some dumb one that is pushed around by the Greens.We have a commercial fishery in place in Australia for US, for the Australian people!! We don't need a government to sell off even more of Australia for other countries!Don't get me wrong, I'm not against commercial fishing in general, but when it gets to such environmental destruction as this, and at the same time the government is closing out recreational fishers, like us, it maddens me totally!

The cockle limit is what gets me...

If I hadn't seen the video and photo I wouldn't have believed it; seriously. Mate thats a catch of a lifetime! Sometime ya just get lucky!

There have been reliable reports of a sunfish sighting in the port river' date='video of broadbill swordfish in the Port lincoln Marina, a whale at port Augusta, and I remember reading a report somewhere of an Atlantic Salmon(obviously Tassy fish farm escapee) at a jetty somewhere in SA but I don,t remember where. I saw an Eagle ray in the pat a few years back.If these odd occurences happen along with the other weird things listed here like the Port Trevas then it is quite reasonable to believe that a few lost Kingies may have been seen in West Lakes.Fish are unpredictable critters at times Rollcast[/quote']The atlantic salmon didn't need to be from Tassie, they farm them down the South East

Anyone used an Okuma Celilo and got any opinions? Also does anyone have advice on a 1-3/2-4 kg rod pref 6ft 6 for flicking plastics and hardbodies(graphite please) below $100?

Yep a good flush can't hurt the system' date='i hope it clears a bit of silt out. cheers brenton[/quote']I wonder what the fishing will be like
