I'm a bit different as I barely chase salmon from a surf beach Most of my salmon fishing is on the northern flats I used to use a 7foot 2inch 2-4kg Abu veritas rod with two different reels A Diawa caldia 2506 or a Abu revo30 This set up cast light poppers and plastics a mile but I've changed to a lighter setup. Now I use a Azusa 1-3kg 6foot rod with a stradic ci4+ 1000 reel This is a bream setup but it casts a mile with the lures I use, even further than the Abu setup It is such a light setup that I can cast all day on the flats and has enough power that it's landed 50cm+ salmon

Don't know what to say apart from WOW. Hope everyone is ok Those pictures really tell a story

Enjoy mate looking forward to your report and pics

Geez Daz you shouldn't have a problem selling your lures and flys there better than most of the shop bought ones

That's cool

If the government thought about it they could put a tender out to to fertiliser companies to bid for the collection and use of the dead carp

If it works that well there is going to be some very stinky waterways soon

Just put the knot in your mouth give it a little soak and then pull Works 95% of the time and allows you to keep fishing

They look great, I swear that man is a genius when it comes to making his own flies and lures

Cheers mate might have to get you to bring it with on our next trip and give my boat knife a lick

I do all my sharpening manually on a stone two different course then diamond steel then fine steel but I really like the look of that system underpants Did you find it locally or over the net?

Yum yum that looks great mate

Lol think I'd prefer swamp water than cats piss

Oi thems fighting words. Just cause you like west end and xxxx doesn't mean you need to put down the best beer in the world Coopers all the way for me

Nice looking smoker mate

My pop used use his bench grinder to get the shape he wanted and start the edge then wetstone then finish it on a steel. I remember seeing use a leather strap to put a really fine sharp edge

Lol my wife let my 8yr old son choose her tips this week His first pic is Richmond by 100 Think her tips will suffer lol

Yep best gar filleting knives ever I got pops after he pasted away and they are sharp!

I have an Abu veritable 7'2 2-4kg that I used to use on the flats. I don't use it much anymore as I use my Azuza 1-3kg 6' bream stick that is lighter and I can cast further.

Lol comment of the week bwahahahaha

Fairly sure got my last pair as a present from the kids but pretty sure wife got them from bcf for $30 or $40 By memory I think they are Shakespeare On a slightly different route I'm struggling to find kids waders. My kids love fishing the flats with me but winter is too cold for them to wear shoes and shorts Don't really want them to have the standard style as I'd be worried if they fall over Can you get the neoprene type in kids sizes?

I'm a cheap skate and just buy a cheap pair when on sale from bcf or Ray's etc So far on my second pair over last 5 seasons Bloody uncomfortable though

Great work Daz

You should be printing and selling them yourself Southie as the quality is better than some mass produced stuff in the shops mate

Stop it you two, it's making me HUNGRY
