jagger

Good read yet again Boyo.Better luck next year and like most things in life..always learning !

I spent a few days over there with the boat last year waiting for the wind to setelt and only got out brielfy for bugger all.Still one of the hairiest rides of my life made worse by the fact it was in the dark and we didn't know the area that well.Good luck but by all means, be safe !

Very nice rod !I'm sure it can handle a lot more than 6kg to ! High sticking it out of a boat is another story all together.I landed a 8.81kg Cod today on a 2piece Starlo stix that I had snapped the tip off.Never doubted it and it was the reel (2000 Freams Kix) that was lacking. Mind you on 4lb line I was never going to give it too much drag !Moral of the story...play them out and you WILL win no matter how underated the stick

Not a bad fish for todays conditions...surely wil be knocked off tomorrow though

I'd be buying rods !! Haha... you might just win the comp from the rocks

...Back away from the camera...Top footage !You obvisouly have a viewfinder to be able to see what it's capturing?

Ended up getting the Daiwa Jig caster 97MH.The 315 just didn't feel right. Great for 30gm but wouldn't like to get it my all with 40gmThey didn't have the 305 in stock and upon checking...neither did anywhere else :(The Jig caster felt great and feel comfortable puting my 100kg frame behind it so we will see how that goes on the weekend ! Certainly going to be able to cast a country mile further then the 7'6" !!

Can ask a question?.....With that many smaller model reels already, why the need for another?I know, I know....you can never have too many but ...??My sol goes from bream to trout, snapper to cod and squid to ...well you get the picture

You'd tickle them under the chin

Ray and Annes are cheaper than internet retailers by $10 to Madkeenfisho....got to do your homework !

match the hatch and quality

SS looking into one of these but curious where you picked yours up for that price ?Cheapest I can find, albeit a quick search is Ray&annes for $239

Just throwing this out there as a theory that could work in towards what you guys are talking about....Could it not be a classic example of when the larger fish are in less numbers then the smaller fish breed more rapidly as opportunity/less competition? Who really knows how they compete for breeding rights, surely it goes on ? Bream show signs of breeding, do snapper?This has been discussed many times over here with carp so why would the theory not be the same for snapper? Anyway...just spit balling as to why there is the volume of juveniles and what appears to be less older snapper.

If the current one says no then maybe the new one will say it's ok..hehehe :evil: Drive past it everyday as well....hard to keep on the road with your head doing the exorcist head twist on the way past looking at the boats

mate sent me this.. freakin hell it goes nutshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoHXPvc5y3Y&feature=share

Watch the weather all week and pick the days where it's not going to blow up more than 5-10 knots with minimal swell all day. No point heading over there in dead flat conditions on to come back at a snails pace in 20 knot winds chewing up a heap of fuel.That's another thing...make sure you take plenty !!!I would suggest teeing it up to go over with another boat for the first time to help build some confidence.Do some long range trips and get used to the boat first

Nice ! Sure is a top place. We used to spend most weekends downs there as kids and it really hasn't changed has it

20 mins if that on a flat day from WB to sullies with a motor around 100 horse. JuDging by the look of the boat, it's an 18fter + probably with a decent donk so no worries !!!

Free feed !!!How's the fishing been over there for you this season Ash?Many Mully's making an appearance yet?

Single hook by far in my opinion. Changed to them a couple of season back and can only recall dropping 2 fish now in the surf obviously due to bad hook setting. I prefer the owner style assist hooks with the kevlar loop as it's extremely difficult for them to shake it loose. Not the cheapest but catch rate makes up for that!
