Haha, some amusing dribble! Makes me laugh how some of the quality posts/reports and pictures on here get a couple of "Well done mate" replies and then you get a post like this one when the said fish hasn't even been caught! there is no photo! and the identity is unknown! and there are pages of dribble, admittedly some of it is very amusing. Whatever makes your boat float I suppose, but give me a decent report and a few decent photos any day! Sorry for adding to the dribble...... :sick: :vomit:

Well said JackI do not normally post on threads like this due to the dribble butFrom reading through this, the one observation is I would say mully due to the comments from the person who hooked itHe has stated it had yellow fins and was very silver, in my experience of fishing the lake both landbased and from a yak for many years the big bream in the lake are very dark bronze in colour due to being in there so long, my guess if it was a black or YF bream of 60cm it would be extremely dark in colour.I'm not saying it wasn't a bream but its sounds very much like a mully to me

:c funnyI think at some time as a fisho we have all had a similar experience but you detailed it so well lol

The Mrs suspected a dead mouse on Monday :ohmy:Tuesday she decided the garbage bins were on the nose.Wednesday she told me to check the carport for a dead possum or Rat.Pfft whatever, I'll get around to it.Home from work after Thursdays heat and the stench had escalated to life threatening proportions!!! CODE RED the back of the house was in lockdown.Mrs went to the shops and I got off my ass to see what the fuss was about ;)Into the carport and a shot of adrenalin went through me as I saw the top of my white bucket in the boat!Ahhh shit!!! This was gunna be wrong in ten types of ways.Overwhelmed by the foulness I set about hatching a cunning plan.I dug a hole.... A very big deep hole that Im proud of. Man I love a good hole in the ground. But this was a purpose dug disposal hole.I went to the bucket with my t-shirt over my nose... That first movement lifting the bucket seemed to release the heart of the stench and it assailed my senses in a really physical way.Im no pussy right, never gag at bad scenes or smells or people hurling, but the walk from my boat to the hole with the bucket really tested my gag reflex.Next was to remove the pilchard from the plastic bag (big kilo+ block) and into the hole with minimum fuss.DONE in one movement.... Then it happened... Wave after wave of sweet sweet acrid, ghoulish, unholy funk hit me.... Each wave stronger than the last... And the sight was of grey slimey, semi broiled barely recognisable big pillies.... And cent-r-meter long 3mm thick highly mobile maggots.I gagged, gained control and then lost it and fully wretched. Then screamed at the dogs to STAYAWAYFORJESUSCHRISTSAKESDOGSDONTGONEAR!My neighbor freaked out at the wrenching and the stench and the yelling and called my Mrs.MRS answered her mobile and laughed... "he is just a :c idiot, dont worry, he just left his bait in the boat since Saturday "Back to the mission and I legged it to the shed, caught my breath, settled my churning guts and grabbed my respirator!It was dusk by now and I strode across the backyard breathing through the filters like Darth Vader... The kids were perched at the window staring in amazement as their Vader-like father in boxers, crocks and spew stained t shirt filled in this unholy grave mess with dirt!The bags were bleached and triple wrapped in garbage bags and now sit odorlessly in the bin.The bucket was bleached and is now standing, full of dirt in the far corner if the yard next to the compost bin.It stands there now as a reminder to any of you lazy fishos out there to never, never ever leave yer bait in the boat!(not one word of exaggeration above) :laugh: :silly: Stay safe fello fishers.... Stay safe

headed out with Jimmy tonight for a late night session off glenelgcheers cfr

Went for a quick flickfor yfw with surface lures this arvo on the northern flatsWas fairly windy on arrival but decided i was there might as well have a goWaded out and first flick was met with some good follows but no hook up, cast straight back in to the same area and hook up as soon as it hit the water Had 4 just legals 25-26cm in the bag in 10 minutes and thought here we go.The wind had other ideas and picked up quickly :evil: went back in shallower to get away from the wind a bit and found another 5 over the next half hour os so but all under size so back they went.Lost two more that looked legal at my feet in the real shollow stuff and called it a day.Dont know if its just me but the schools seem a lot smaller this year and the size of the fish seem to be down aswell. Last year 30cm were small now id be happy for a bag of 30cm yfwOh well can only get better over summer

Hey mateGet your self a good diamond stone to make a good edgeI then also use a diamond steel to touch it up and a fine normal steel just to make it a reel fine edgeI lucky enough to still have a my knives and sharpening gear from my days as a chefOther thing you could do which I normally get done approx every 6 months is get a mobile knife sharpener to come a do them for youThere is a few good guys around cant remember the name of the guy I used to use but used to only charge us $6-8 per knife...we did get 3-6 knives each done and there was four of us each time

HAHA i watched this awhile back and i still piss my self laughing at the poor little shark having no :c idea of whats happening

hi check out this school of monster salmon taking shelter in one of the Coombra Lagoons @ Yalata on South Oz's Far West Coast. not feeding & very fussy we still managed few fish from this school(plus a tailor). some of the salmon landed close to 5kg, some larger not landed enjoy cheers BigAshhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S73U52L3oq8

I've noticed that there has been alot of great pic's posted this year. Maybe we could hold a photo comp and orgainise a Strike & Hook callerdar for 2013. I'm just posting a expresssion of interest and wanted to see if anyone would be on board. What do ya think?

Someone here might have a connection ;)How many people do ya reckon might be interested in getting a calendar? Add a thankyou to this post so we can get a bit of a gauge of interest.I'll have a look at one of my printers and see how the pricing looks for certain quantities.Is a great idea too Bass13 I've been hanging back just to see what other people thought before getting into it.

Ive used them successfully with unweighted baits, i can see having them under a float being any different.My thoughts on circles are to have the drag set firm that as the fish takes the bait the drag sets the hook for you.The last time i used them my mate had the same setup but his drag was very loose and he had a good run but the fish dropped the bait before he picked his rod up, i hooked mine 30 seconds later and the fish hooked itself before i picked up my rod due to having a tighter drag.

congrats nice fat bream

Last time I did it we made a family day of it with the kids, sister, in laws etc.We had a great day on the beach, played some cricket and footy just chilled for the day and came home with bout 1200 cockles by memory. If you plan on going just for cockles not really worth it but make a nice day out with family and the cockles are a bonus
