I might get out down south chasing salmon also. Depends on this wind and weed as Plankton mentioned

At the bottom of the posting text section, there should be an attachment button. Click on that and then add the video file from your computer. If it is too big then you may have to compress the file. Another way is to upload the video to YouTube or similar and then paste the link into the reply and the video will seam into the thread.

The SavageGear crabs are the ones sold by BCF. They're different to the Crankas in that the hook is in the middle with a jighead and they're made using PVC materials. They're not bad lures for bream. Cranka ones have trebles on each claw and are worth every cent, if you can get your hands on one.

I think you'll find a fair few species out there mate. I've only fished landbased there and we've always had luck with tommies, gar, squid, snook and YFW from the jetty. Have heard of some rat kingies turning up recently at both jetties as well. Regards to KGs, I'd think broken bottom armed with some squid or cockles should be a good start

I can still change my two year old pic though

An old photo of my yak off Porties Reef when I tested out my sounder.

Yeah the dorsal fin looks very similar to a kingfish and the forked tail and slim body makes me think Kingfish as well. Also the colour of the flesh in the photo looks similar to ones I have observed in the lab, with the flesh darkening due to oxidation.

I've seen them in motor oil, chartreuse, pearl and pumpkinseed so far. I reckon the chartreuse is closest to what you're looking for

Managed to land a few reddies on the CrustaceaZ in creeks and had swipes by trout. In the salt I've had smaller bream take it as well as STs. Probably heaps of other species you could target with them like yellowfin, mullet, etc

That 40cm fish is just around the corner Alex! Once you find where they frequent you'll smash it mate Here's one from a week ago that just went over.

Have a few mates that would benefit from this ahaha. I'm wondering if/how the device might effect the use of the rod whilst fishing? Looks like it would get in the way. Other problem would be if you dropped it over a jetty, how would you hook the device with another rod to bring the sunk rod up.

Cheers guys, it's slowly becoming a permanent option of my fishing. Nothing is like the fight on a fly rod as it definitely tests your ability. I definitely wouldn't say I am mastering it though, many more hours of casting and technique work is still needed

Finally completed the mission to land a carp on fly started out here: http://www.strikehook.com/index.php/topic/25392-the-mission/?do=findComment&comment=271444 Headed out this afternoon chasing carp solely with fly gear, my 5/6 weight and 10lb tippet. Headed up to the Torrens around 5:30 and started searching for carp in shallow waters for sight fishing. From a high point I spotted a single decent sized fish mooching and quickly set off stalking it. Waited 5 minutes before casting in front of it and from nowhere a larger carp beat him to my bugger and the line went tight and it was g

I'd put a report up for ours but probably requires more info on the epileptic chicken retrieval method ahahaha..

Cheers guys, wouldn't be where I am without a few dedicated fishos and it was Southie's push of flyfishing that got me into it.

Managed my first ever fish on fly this afternoon under the aid of Southie the Banga! After getting back from Port Vic mid-afternoon, I was pretty well asleep on the couch when Southie told me he was heading out for a flyfishing mission. Grabbed the fly rod and jumped in the car and off I went. We met up and had a few looks at pools and spotted a few wily browns but difficulties in casting kept us out of action. Moved onwards to a known pool of a nice couple of browns and the bigger one was out and about. We both threw an assortment of flies at him, clearly feeding, but nothing doing. I we

Hopefully I will be following you around and be there to witness these feats. I also am going to use the fly rod a bit and chase carp and schoolies on fly.

Myself and another forum member will be attending. I missed last years one and regretted it massively. Trailer looks epic!

Sounds like it needs a report of it's own Tinker!! Awesome season by the sound of it. Never managed a callop or silver but I reckon a trip to murrayland could've in order this spring.

You definitely get what you pay Langley. I'd be looking at something along the lines of the symetre combo. Other rod suggestions I'd recommend are the shimano mex fire raiders, Pfleuger trions, Daiwa TDTs depending on how much you want to spend. Even some Samaki rods are good bang for buck options.

Work and uni have stowed me up. Keep hitting the freshwater streams after my last report but only a few follows and no hookups. Gonna be hitting Seacliff, Hallett Cove and Port Vic in my yak in the next three weeks hopefully when the weather is kind.

This thread's making me want squid badly! Two nice recipes you guys have, I usually egg and breadcrumb with chilli powder and shallow fry. Must try these once I get my hands on some tasty cephalopods.

Awesome work TwinPower!! Certainly a nice fish and worth the efforts of previous days of the trip. Only ever hooked one rat before on bream gear but didn't land it, they go hard! Nice job

Hopefully tomorrow before work I can pull out a fish on it. Only got the one tail so better not bust it off ahaha

Here's what the CrustaceaZ look like in motor Oil colour
