Depends on $$$ you want to spend and how often you are wanting to go sp fishing. The more you spend the more you need to justify using the reel and the better you need to keep your reel, washing it everytime you use it.For me $0-50 i would go a shimano sienna or cazna, both nice little reels i have both and both are almost identical in performance and specs.$50-100 shimano sedona - i have two of these reels and they are great, 7kg of drag in a 2500 reel is practically a snapper reel.$100-150 - Shimano symetre - as Damo said, this is probably the best value for money reel, ultra smooth reel.

Love your work -
Another great post Des, very informative as always, think you can add me to the list of people caught with buying poppers, oh well, i'm sure the salmon trout will take them.

Yep, 'DES' Typo

Morgan enough with your 87lber why dont you just marry that fish

One of the best eating fish in my opinion. Simple ingredients, the fish will provide the taste.

Hit up the master "DEL" he is the Yellowfin whiting whisperer. The YFW head to warmer waters in the winter. They are always available Port Gawler and further north. Live tubeworms, live clickers and bloodworms are best baits. Lighter line the better, flurocarbon leaders and lightest sinkers you can get away with. Prepare to wade and walk a bit if you are hitting the sand flats up north. The schools will be small when the weather is at its coldest. The warmer the weather the bigger the school.

+2 for Pauly, 20lb line on a 4000 reel is maximum you should fish. 20lb will get the job done with any skilled angler. unless you are fishing in 100 meters of water with reefs and other obstacles that wear away on your braid. Also allows you to put 200+ meters of line on the reel and 'play' with the fish more than skull drag it in.
-
This is the reel you want. Big drag, more than other 4000 size reels. 9kg drag. I have the 2500 size reel and is more than capable of landing big fish.Ray and annes have them for $89.00. BCF occasionally have them in combos for $99.00

Don't forget about a short drive to Port Giles Jetty. It's not always open but when it is, it's worth a try, mostly Tommies, squid. Tommies down there will bite on just about anything.

what to do when people take undersized fish?
ashleycraig80 replied to 4heckssake's topic in General Fishing
take a pic with your phone, if he brags about keeping them than he wont care if you take a picture with a ruler next to it. Than report them and their registration to PIRSA, you may need to give a statement at local ps.This just isnt on. Makes me sick -
Easily confused there mate, They do look similar, just be careful you dont keep any less then the 21cm size limit. IMO you probably should keep Tommies less than that anyway, no point, no meat and if you are using them as squid bait they are also too small.Good catch though
-
Stinger i dont think anyone has ever counted but there are a shit loads. Enough for a couple of fishing sessions. Put 3 to 4 on the hook. Depending on what you are targetting what size hook. Garfish probably 9 or 10 even up to size 12 hooks. If you are going for mullet then size 8 will be fine.

Daiwa TDT from BCF, they are varying lengths. I used a 7 foot 4-8kg rod to bottom bash on the recent charter for grouper, nannygai, huge sweep then used it for trolling for tuna It is now my rod for flick lures for salmon off the beach at waitpinga - not expensive either. They are usually a one piece, load them up in the store and you will be surprised I have the 4 to 8kg.... its an IM7 graphite

No issues here mate, Rovex in general supply good cheap gear. Their baitrunners are excellent less than $45. I have used Rovex 50lb braid off the beach with no probs.

Daiwa Opus Bull, $109 from ray and annes. 4500 size (more like a shimano 8000). 15kg of drag. Did the job on Tuna when i went to marion bay in january. Fits about 200m of 50lb FINS braid. Two spools so you can put lighter line on the other one

http://australianmuseum.net.au/Yellowfin-Bream-Acanthopagrus-australis-Owen-1853yellow fin bream do grow to 65cm, and they are found in SA, i think i'll keep my skeptical mind out, could be legit. If so, well done!!!!!!!!!!

Hey guys, after my first tuna charter i'm already planning a trip in winter for the big sambos and are looking for an outfit that will handle the bigger boys.I've got my eye on the Okuma Salina 16000 reels and the Okuma Salina PE8 rods, spooled with 80lb braid. Anyone out there had any experience with these rods and reels? At $358 for the combo at Ray and Anne's it seems a steal compared to other big fish combos.
