I just think for those that are so concerned about fish being released ect should be just as concerned about putting hooks in them in the first place.There's always gonna be those that do the wrong thing in any recreation.Reckon longliners and swingnetters ect are more of a worry than jetty rats.I'm not in this category at all but have been irresponsible in my teenage yrs fishing jett.Teens are more responsible these days compared to 20yrs ago but things have changed since them days.

Young guys especially teens mate who are interested in heavy tackle fishing often start by targeting eagle rays and sharks.They don't have a car licence and there fishing options are very minimal.Shark is good eatingcand eagle rays are a superb fighting species.As they get older and get a licence lots of these young guys become quiet capable fishermen in there own right.Kingfish and mulloway taste ordinary to me but I still like to catch them.Kids start somewhere and the local sharks and rays are a good start if looking to get a rod bent.If ya not being critical don't ask a silly question

if not a 540 maybe a 270 or 806.I've got a 270 tipped and extended and is raters 10 to 15..could be anything.Steve morris is who I would see about this.Top shot tackle

Howdymate.I've got all customs in my collection from calstar and status game rods and 540 and 270 Sabre.s.I've got a few close matesvthat all have customs so I may be able to help you in your decision.While not cheap I say either is a Saltiga rod which are really rubbish rods and worth half of what they sell for retail break down the parts and you'll discover your paying 350 for the saltiga name.Just had to say that.haha.Anyway these are the guys to talk to.South oz, Steve morris Topshot tackle.Keith goody fisherman's paradise.Steve Brooks who is a back yard bloke but first class, pm me for nu

Can turn any blank overhead spin spiral ect mate

Guides and tip roughly $140.strip and rebind around $140 also.For quality work contact Steve Morris at Top Shot tackle.

Awesome Hammer.They go hard on the right tackle and they run amok at boat side and can be a handful if not tired out.Killer fish and a cracker size aswell.Did u get weight?.Did u release or you going to eat.I release the ones I get but apparently a tasty fish.About time a good thread was put up.Cheers

Some nice rods there saltiga 5.Better than the rubbish they sell these days.

Nice rod but it's to long.Made that mistake before.6ft is the longest I would go fishing 24.I had a shark on a 7ft seeker basically same rod and couldn't function probably for the best of 2 weeks.and that was fishing 15kg.Your all a bunch of GOOGANS and a Gongshow full of negs is coming to you all..

Why would u say that Softy??.I'm sure all mulloway fisherman particularly all the lure fisherman down the Murray mouth who are still using the same rods from 20yrs ago still catching big Jews on them...Don't tell me ur a sensor surf man lol...very uneducated bad call Softy in my opinion.. :sick:

Sabre is legendary in the gamefishing scene . Sabre shut up shop sometime ago and the guy who has the recepie for the blends went to business and called them selves seeker or sabre seeker.Sabre changed gamefishing with there legendery sabre strokers and were the and my opinion still are the bees knees in fishing rods. Sabre particularly here in Sa aren't sold on the shelves these days as people don't buy custome quality rods anymore with the factory rods these days are pretty good value for money.U can still buy blanks and get them custom built if you are prepared to built a quality original r

10x Penn is better and cheap or Schneider clear

Don't no about there fluro but if I can snap 80lb instinct trace line with my bear hands I guess I would stay away from it

Big mulloway have been caught of every metro jetty. Biggest two ivy seen is 66lb of glenelg and a 70lb of semaphore jetty.

I like to catch Dogsharks and skates on light tackle.

I have caught a lot of mulloway and think low tide is the best where I fish for them.I was ment to say ask your local about which minnows are worth trying..crystal minnows ect

Look for other fishos that's where they are.Use pilly flick baits with a jighead to suit the tide or minnows.Ask a tacklestore or research on forums. Rule of thumb for most fish is 1hrs either side of the tide.And persistence.Good luck young fella

Theres kingys in the lake.No doubt

looks like i get the bragging rights and was the only entry

i fish 37kg now and have been for past 12months..Love the the power from the start its the only way to go.Ive caught enough of them now to get worried about loosing them.Im also back to the stroker gear

i think you may no the guy who took them photos :woohoo:

This is another yorks king boated in april.I had a good month with a mate boating 12 nice kings.Hoping bigger models will be coming over the next few months

This was caught last saturday at pt augusta and estimated weight was around 15/16kg there,there abouts.Was tagged and released for someone else to catch one day..

Both Powerstations will not be OFF. 1 will shut down prob. around Sept. but the other will have to run otherwise there will be no power.There off now mate ... :dry:Damn and here I was hoping you'd posted another nice big kingy ill put a couple up to get the ball rolling This one was caught in mid April on the york peninsular...It went 24kg and was on 24kg tackle.
