Haha - trust me, I understand your pain.



 

My old man is a head torch aficionado, problem is his hearing isn't what it used to be, fishing at night you try and talk to him and next second he shines the bloody torch in your face, drives me insane. 

Fish with a head torch near me, trust me i want to kill you. 

Strange location indeed, I think all members live metro Adelaide or close to it. Minister trying to make it difficult?  Maybe he just wanted to get some Happy Birds chips...

Ocean mullet are nice but mullet from muddy creeks such as Price, Port Wakefield etc are pretty average. 

Must be fresh or they are bait

Happy birthday Micky , I enjoy your posts 

Pan too hot?

I always thought that what caused it, happens to me sometimes too.

Very nice fish, please show us the fly 

If you don't mind going for a dip then you will find a few crab nets for free. 

Most tackle shops usually have a 3 for $20 sales during the crab season, well worth the investment as they will last ages if you get the ones with the wire base.

now that is sexy

Not fished this beach nor that gulf very much but up here in upper spencer gulf, if you fish creek mouths on the outgoing tide it is almost unfair using poppers, only fishing in about 40cm of water, anything higher than half a metre is no good. Haven't had much success on sand flats, I have found you need some kind of structure to find they hungry fish. Walk-the-dog lures when its calm and poppers when there is some blow.

Cant' edit posts, but also make sure they have good quality tackle trays.

I can only recommend get one where the trays sit horizontally, that way they don't become a complete tangled mess, unless you use inserts to hold the lures in position. Should get change from a $100 if you want to buy a branded one.

nothing wrong with the bogan way lol

Yes do not store z-man with other plastics or you will have a melded mess of sticky goo.

Don't store gulp out of the juice so in the packets or in a specially designed tub..can't think of the name at the moment.

SqudgIes don't bleed but be careful mixing in other plastics. A lot of the cheaper lures colour bleeds which can actually create from unique plastic colours.

The lemon shads are one of my favourite snook lures.

Looks about average to me

More of the same, whiting on the flats come end up of this month.

Mulloway until I get sick of the mozzies around dusk when its not freezing cold down the local river.

Dabbing for garfish come December.

For something different will try some sharking this summer.

Under the jetty light, unweighted half garfish or pilchard and you will have a ball. Any clear surface lures such as the bassday sugapen will also work if the snook are I'm the mood which they often are. Using heavier gear when chucking $20 lures near planks. Sometimes a crab net will come in handy if you hook some of the larger models.

I don't bother trying to catch them during the day.

Had a bit of fun yesterday catching a few 45cm Salmon on 1-3kg sticks with a couple of mates.

That sucks, usually the fiddlers go straight for your baits, but they don't fight very well. Haven't seen any for a while but there were some absolutely monster stingrays at Port Broughton, you would have little chance of landing them though, just too powerful. Better luck next time

How did you go?

Try off the rocks near the Wallaroo jetty, usually you see a ray or two cruising in the shallows, not that big though but will give you a little bit of fun.

Pretty sure Wallaroo jetty is closed at the moment?

Might try and get out tomorrow evening to satisfy the fishing itch.

Half a dozen yfw around 28cm and twenty thousand undersized salmon trout, good fun on light tackle
