  1. Hey Jack. I've done the Salisbury to the mouth trips a thousand times (fisho talk, probably around 50 times) both for mouth fishing and also to take the kids to play and spend a day out. As said, the entrance is very soft at the moment, lock in the 4x4 and keep momentum. I usually go close to the mouth, before it splits and has a warning sign about the soft sand, set a up a gazebo, throw out a couple witches hats as a border/limit for the kids and to alert any traffic, and the kids have a ball building castles and collecting shells. It's a pretty easy trek, the last stretch can be very soft, i

    As said, plenty of ST's, bream in the channel, snook towards the section bank & dog flipping sharks everywhere!! Enjoy and watch out for '4mtr to 1ft on water' in 20 seconds spots!
  4. Yaeh, nah that's not mine. I can tell by the thing.....
  5. I've had the exact same thing happen to me too F-H86. I didn't give it much thought though and just put it down to excessive alcohol consumption from back in my younger years
  6. The boat ramps a good start I do start there mate, as the pic proves!!!
  7. Having just bought my first tinnie, a creek mully for me. Having always had larger boats it's usually launch and straight out to sea. I'm going to concentrate on our creek systems this year. I have caught a lot of land based mullys over the years, but never a legal one from the boat. I wouldn't shy away from any tips on where to start either....JACK!!! :whistle:
  8. While studying Aquaculture the lecturers showed us some examples of 'how not to farm fish' the pig pens hanging over the basa cages was an eye opener with all the basa congregating underneith the arse end of the pigs waiting for their next meal :SAaahhhh, that's a "Surf n' Turf Special" Piranha. Haha.
  9. As a FORMER seafood importer, the doco above is absolutely spot on, but, quite a few years old now. The first introduced basa fillets to come into Australia were from Vietnam and Taiwan, with Taiwan being the preferred due to their 'cleaner' processing techniques. The main imports now come from Thailand, which believe it or not, have a stricter hygiene process than our main fish processors in Australia. Thailand fish farms with an Australian export licence have their own fish breeding and cannot process wild caught fish for export, therefore their fish do not have the pollutants that the wild
  10. Checked it out and downloaded it, it seems pretty awesome!! Thanks for bringing it to our attention mate, well done.
  11. I bought 500 meters of 50lb multi coloured braid from an aussie seller on ebay for $39.00 delivered. Have been using it for months, not an issue yet!! I have pulled in some good size kings and shark on it, no problems bar the fact i learnt the hard way that you need to spool your line with some mono first!!
  12. I've recently decided to do the same and bought 500 meters of multi colour 50lb braid off of eBay, good brand, $40. I'm planning the do two of my rods in braid as i've never used it before. You tube has some very explanatory videos on knot tying and also this little gadget.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VefOpV2sa3g
