Nice Piranha...quick and simple and probably absolutley delicious just like the majority of asian cooking !!

saw one hanging around only a couple of k's from Pt noarlunga this arvo...they obvisouly know something we don't !

Never recieved any from the first comp Shuano.

Congrats Macca and great work Spotter !! Very generous prize.

Nice..note: NEED Iphone !!haha...Nice to get you into the areas though.Any idea if anything like that is availbale for the PC without paying big bucks ?

Jack is that an app or webbased ???Great detail !

Lovely fish John ! 55+cm at around 4-4.5lb guessing a tad bigger maybe ???Either way, crackin fish mate!

Nice work Craig..good to get back to the old haunts no doubt. Love to head down thre one day.That's a biiig school !! Not sure what grabbed my attention first...the blondey or the paley ;P

Top work Darren..knew it wouldn't take long !Got to hit up the creeks soon myself...get back into the fly gear ready for browns

Very nice Darren ! So can I assume that a nice fat brown will be christening this little baby??Took mine out for a crack at our monster club rainbows on the week end but no joy sadly...

can one of the mods change 'acquatic' to 'aquatic' in the title - every time I flick through the forum I see this and it drives me crazy :P

I changed the first post and mine yet you didn't change your own:whistle:

plenty of big eagle rays there mate....shark certainly possible as well down there

Bit of a jump from from the 2000 to 3000.....I was just looking at my 3000 Freams compared to my 2004 caldia Kix and there's a BIG size difference.Mate I would seriously consider the 2500 sol. Still got 15.4lbs (7kg) of drag and small !! More than capable of pulling in some nice snapper and you've already felt it pulling in some nice redfin....smooth as !

Last year was a blast and some good numbers landed (when the seals let us@!!)Hopefully a few of the old boys showing up this time too..Rick........

Mate would love nothing more but boy #2 is due at the end of July...Just make sure you come down for the salmon session at Browns in the first weekend of June with the SAFWAA boys!!

:clap: :clap: :clap: Have come to expect nothing less JJ!!

hahah too right! Bring It On.I now have this secret desire to catch sa's biggest land based snapp ha buts its a secret.

kat you have the best land based snapper spots in australia just down the road at whyalla. just need to ask right people to show you the way thats all. pop in to see wes or dave at the local sportsfishing scene there and they will point you into the right direction' date=' if they give you nothing ill give you one.[/quote']Too right there srick...just have a chat to Rocknev...already taken a heap of SH members out on the rocks for some decent snaps...have a look at his pb from the rocks...awesome effort!

Believe it or not blue devils are great eating..one of the whitest/cleanest fleshes you will ever see. Sure are a pretty fish though, would love to have one swimming around my tank

can be real hit and miss down there so not a bad effort. Shame they didn't get you onto any of the big boys !! I'm guessing they took you around to deep creek for the nanny in close ?? They normally go for the salmon on the way back past jervis so goos to see a few coming through already. Any blue devils taken ???

haha...too easy mate...will probably have 180 of them shortly ! haha...

Some top fish there guys...For me...It's been a summer chasing Redfin with pletny taken over the kilo mark upto 1.45kg ( from memory)Crabbing, garfish were thick... the odd good haul of KGW althought the YFW were a standout from the shore this sumemr... recently it's been the snapper though....Thinking back though I thinkthe all time greatest session was landing 4 Rainbow trout over 50cm and 1.5kg in a session.The SAFWAA dams have been hot all summer as has LBB's dam with the late arvo sessions on fly.....ahhhh..summer !!!Bring on winter though..full blown assault on the salmon this year !!! and I reckon a port mully session or 3. Who can forget the winter KGW either !!

Kat I reckon we let ya go there as technically...well...it's your PB !!!Well done and surely there's only upsizes from here

man of mystery..... either way there are some big fish in the sea...Srick there's no point being jelous mate....everyfish is different for their own merrits.... My avatar... On a charter caught with 75lb main line to 150lb leader....no fight for 20lb fish, very dissapointed. However... the last 7-8kg fish I landed locally faught tooth and nail all the way and was far better than some of the bigger fish.....all different!Hopefully I can replicate Brents efforts tomorrow and get a few with the old man !! still plenty around in numbers..but for how long??

One more thing I just remembered about growing up down there.... when nets were allowed we used to get the odd spider crab from time to time...one species rarley seen but were'nt that uncommon for porties

Are you allowed to troll lures from a boat within the 100metre mark(seaward side of reef) shown on the aquatic reserve map?

No' date=' there is a total fishing ban within 100 metres of the reef, except from the permitted area on the jetty.

Also is anchoring banned within the 100metre mark?

No, anchoring / boating is permitted, it is the activity of fishing that is not allowed in this area.Hope that helps answer your questions.TroyFisheries OfficerBirkenhead

Growing up down at Pt Noarlunga it was always a summer favourite to park the boat in shore of the reef and snorkel around with mates and family within a reasonable distance as not to freak the old lady out (she hated swimming in open water !!)Later in the years as a driver of the IRB's (surf life saver) for Porties I had the joy of trying to impart this knowldege to many a boaties that thought it was ok to anchor and fish right on top of the reef. Needless to say it wasn't always taken on board...another reason why I still keep fisheries phone number in the mobile !!This kind of information helps the sytem remain one of our best in the state and still a favourite for divers, snorkelers and swimmers alike.Thanks again Troy:clap:
