Double Trouble

Looks like another killa session on the water, cant wait for the next trip out & , awesome fun

What can i say,great start to 2014, great day, great company with a couple of gun fishos, look forward to the next adventure @Moggy I think i gave the guys a good run all day The tuna loved the x rap

Hi 4THA here is my cheap quick setup, only does 10-15 max, enough for a feed, been doin the deeds for the last 20yrs now

Top stuff, well done, now it gets ya revved up to target them more

This is what i always use BOMhttp://www.bom.gov.au/marine/wind.shtmlhttp://www.bom.gov.au/sa/forecasts/adelaide-waters.shtmlhttp://www.tides4fishing.com/au/south-australia/adelaide-outer-harbour

I been steaming crabs for years now, Cost ya a couple of dollars to make and about 10mins of your time if that Just get a piece of wire mesh the size of ya crab cooker. fold the corners so it sits 2cm above the base of the pot.Add a couple of cm of water, only takes 5mins or so to heat up. Allot quicker than boiling up 10ltrs of water or more.Put ya crabs in and steam away.Instant steamer

Looks like you had a great few days fishing there I went to victor chasing them on friday but they were nowhere to be seen all day bird action was very poor to.Most of the others crews didnt see them either that day.Was still a great day out there and a good learning curve out in the open ocean, deffinantly different seas compared to the metro waters, The swirl was only 2mtrs with a choppy seas on top of that, we were doing 45kmh and still couldnt keep up with the swirl and thats on a good day.

Well done on getting into the tuna action JJ Might head down there during the week for a play again after seeing all the action lately

How big was the top one, looks bigger than 10cm? The Eastern Gobbleguts (Vincentia novaehollandiae) grows to a maximum length of approximately 10cm.

The top pic looks like a Gurnard

My techni ice esky works quite good with frozen 2ltr bottles, The bottles are still frozen solid after todays session along with a bag of reds in it worked a treat a few years back over the west coast with dry ice.Im currently in the process of making a esky out of the 50mm coolroom panels, At least that way its made to my specs and my needs, current 80ltr one is to small

Ive got a sunbeam food saver, had it for many of years and works great, unsure of price.If ya after reasonably cheap good bags or rolls for your machines go to:MBL Food ServiceAddress: 432 Churchill Road, Kilburn SA 5084 Phone: 8262 8637I'm quite sure i used to buy the 5mtr x 250mm rolls and the 5mtr x 300mm rolls for around $25 for 2.They have a variety to choose from rolls and bags.Some of the ones ive bought from ebay are :c waste of money

Nice bag out but im a bit confussed I cant seem to spot the 11kg red :dry: They all look around 8-9kg to me I went out that day to and we managed to land 5 around 6kg

Is that a samuri sword in pic 2?? or am I seeing things?

Nice sized salmon would of been a ball catching it on 5lb line.Caught this one over the west coast, Cant quite read my old scales Any Guesses? Looks like it was between 4-5kg, made up a few nice mully baits with it

Nice fish ya caught there brocko Here is a link to the one caught in Portland earlier this year, As trihull said get in contact with the museum ASAPThis is a bit of a write up from the one caught http://www.fishingservices.com.au/p.php?q=%2Farticle%2Fportland-tuna-03-june-2012

This is the set my mate uses http://lansky.com/index.php/products/universal-system/ It worked quite good, around $45 and will put the exact edge on the the knife every time. You can adjust the angle to suit your needs.Ive bought several over the years from stones to diamond and ceramic sharpeners and keep going back to the old faithful stones, I just cant sharpen the knife the same way all the time, pain in the butt trying to get the exact edge unless you have plenty of time on board or are experienced.Thanks for the tips all.

Ive caught some decent sized ones over 60cm at YP and i didnt throw them back(Probably should have tho)Its not very often you get to land KG's at that size, One fish filleted makes up for haif a dozen caught locally if ya can catch them!Last season all the YFW that were over 40cm were all full of eggs, so in that respect perhaps they should be released, it will only make the future of:fishing: better for the rest of the fishos out there

Pitty was a good site, It worked a few weeks ago but not now, back to crappy GE

I normally get them locally at the section bank when its low tide, heaps out there, can normally get a days fishing worth after an hour with the pump

Very disappointing read up, Some :c are just so impaitent and cant wait an extra week I hope the :c get caught or were seen by someone throwing it overboard.

I buy and sell a fair bit from fleabay, Ive always used paypal, never had any issues with them as i buy allot from the US and dont trust putting my CC details online.I had some fool buy a s/steel bow sprit from me a few weeks back, I told him it was buckled and twisted, still worked. A brand new one cost $80 and i sold it for $67 plus postage @ $14= $81 there are some fools out there It pays to do a bit of research before buying anything

Easy to catch, easy to clean and taste great, Nice white flesh inside and stuff all bones, I prefer the leatheries over the YFW and snapper but id rather catch the opposite

Be nice to come accross that school when i do my maiden voyage next week, Would be a killa way to christen the

Can these still be taken from the land EG: walking out to the rocks and collecting them or do you have to be X amount of distance from the lowest sea line Ive got a spot that i wanna try over Wallaroo that holds thousands of them from back in the days when my old man went for them many moons ago
