My Snapper comp was an eventful time, on day one my mate and i launched at about 7:30am and headed out to a drop in the middle of the gulf that had been given to me by a member of this forum. We got there and within about 2 hours i had caught 3 pannies. To get them we had to work through quite a few snapper in the 32-36cm range. After that the tide started to run quite hard and the anchor started to slip so we pulled it up and re-anchored. whilst we were doing this a boat full of victorians rocked up and started sounding around. they continued to sound around for almost an hour before anchoring up about 10m away from us. An entire :c ing gulf and he anchors up there!Anyway, we were just fishing and watching one of the dickheads on the boat next to us flick a squid jag in almost 90ft of water when my mate Will's rod buckled over (right in the middle of the tide). He was on it like a flash and after about a 10 minute fight i netted his Snapper (we had only bought the net the night before after much ummming and ahhhing) which when weighed in was 7.88kgThis caught the attention of the vic's next door who promptly pulled anchor and went for about another half hour sound around. I swear, if they spent half as much time fishing as they did sounding they might of actually caught a fish! anyway, they anchored up again for a bit then left. idiots.We were then joined by some local guys who weren't in the comp, they were just out for a fish. they had not been there all that long when just came out of nowhere and started circling our boatIt was pretty interested in the propeller so the guys in the other boat yelled to us to put the engine in gear to stop it spinning. This worked and the shark left the propeller alone and kept circling, getting tighter and tighter. i wasn't particularly happy about it but after half an hour it vanished as quickly as it appeared.After that we fished on for about another hour but once again we were having problems with the anchor pulling so with the weather worsening we decided to head in, swinging through mudbanks on the way. there was at least 20 boats anchored up there so we tried to anchor but the anchor wouldn't still didn't hold. By this stage it was about 7pm so we headed in. No point being out there if we cant hold anchor. So for the day we ended up with three pannies and Will's 7.88kgWe cleaned them all up and went home, ready for a long Saturday

Buy one, get 12 free lol.The thing was cooked ffs Least we know the old gals not a spitter :whistle:

So who is entering this year? I think Wadey did a subject on this a ittle bit back but thought u would just find out the latest. i just did my entry tonight, cant wait, first time for me! i dont have particularly high hopes of taking it out but you gotta be in it to win it! so, who on here will i be up against???

^^ Exactly, we now just need some company to invent a 100 (A tenth of the size of a 1000) reel and some 200g line to spool it with. Then a really light rod and bingo a mega tommie could set you back 5 or 6 minutes to land. :woohoo:

launched early with the missus on Saturday morning planning on chasing some snapper early then heading out for some whiting once the sun was up. we got to the snapper spot, set our lines and sat down to wait. bout an hour passed with us checking and changing baits then zzzzzzz off screams my rod. i was on for about 30 seconds then the fish spat the hook. i was spewing coz it felt like a half decent fish but i spose i will never know now after that we headed south of Whyalla chasing whiting. we drifted around and pulled a few then we hit a school so i threw down the anchor and we ended up with 18, the missus pulled the biggest at 42cm which was also her biggest fish to date so all in all a pretty good day

whiting was couple mm of 50cm

I was reeling her in .....Drag set fine ....She asks me ...Do these jeans make me look fat ......I reply......Nope its all the pies and cakes you eat...Fighting started ....Still fighting .....Mono is not gonna cut it

Hey Matebjorn2fish posts an Eyre Peninsula Fishing Report weekly on this site (put together by Spot On Fishing) - this is from last week:http://www.strikehook.com/forum/47-eyre-peninsula/248866-port-lincoln-fishing-report-14-02-2013Why not PM bjorn2fish or contact Spot On Fishing at Port Lincoln directly?Cheers and good luck with the trip...af

the wharfs and jetties always produce fish...squid, tommies, gar, whiting, salmon, snook etc. The River Todd has Bream in it. the mouth of it can produce mullies at times from what ive heard. always a look in and around the marina to ;)Ill give my cousin a call ad see what there getting atm as he lives down there

they absolutely love my Sephia squid jag, i always see them following it and if i pause it most of the time they will have a go at it. The bastards destroy the cloth on it

i threw one back that had died during the unhooking process and it was just floating on the surface next to the boat and a squid surfaced and grabbed it. i was pretty surprised.on a side note, are the puffers we get in south australia poisonous to touch? i have always treated them as poisonous but i dont actually know if they are

Almost all puffer fish contain tetrodotoxin, a deadly substance that is 1200 times more poisonous than cyanide. :woohoo:
