Invest in some SCUBA gear and a license and catch twice as many and don't have to worry about your pots being nicked!

But i think that the point trying to be made my one side of this argument is that if new AR's are put in place and Snapper start schooling on them, then the fishing pressure on the schools will become greater since there every man and his dog will have the pick down and lines set, than if they were allowed to roam free among seagrass beds and offshore drops that are only frequented by recs once a week or so...

Sorry, I was born sarcasm deficient!

Is it just me or is it becoming increasingly difficult to differ between sarcasm and actual facts and opinions on this thread anymore?

It was necessary.

Land Based?

AS SMALL AS 12KG I would be happy to catch something breaking through to the kilo mark! :dry:

You weren't left out in the sun too long softy after all. But something is a bit fishy about all of these coincidences?

A smaller marlin would be gar, if you work out pulling strength pound for pound You would see some of the smaller fish such as gar, reddies and bream rate a much higher mention.

Blue Groper should rate a very good mention?

I know that as soon as I click on one of Kelvin's reports, I am in for a good read and so far I have not been let down. GREAT SESH!

Well you still would have gotten one wrong.As you would have picked the bloody power...Hahahah Well, I actually did pick the power this round against the Dees...

I'm not entirely sure but the silveries and catties are most likely by-catch of callop and or carp respectively. But if you can't try and catch them then what do you say to people still catching and releasing cod?

Forgot to do me bloody tips!

Slimies are hit and miss but it is around this time that enter the gulf and inhabit most of the usual snapper drops, wrecks and areas. For some reason they have a death wish and live with their main predator.

If Kelvin goes just bring up the pick and leave.

So I was walking down the street and got smashed from beh..... Oh wait different fight. But yeah best fight 40kg Eagle Ray on my 3-5kg Sahara and 2500 Symetre off Largs Beach. The Symetre was singing a lovely tune until the backing :dry: so i decided to put the brakes on the 8lb braid and luckily it came to a halt. Around 1 hour later the ray got tired and the big fella finally got beached. A quick weigh with the help of my friend and I wanted the ray back in the water ASAP. She got a bit of life to her and swum back the the flats happily!

Yeah, or Yakka, or scad or yellowtail good eating they are.

I've only really seen them at Wallaroo in large numbers...

It is very entertaining standing out in the dark 80-100m out not knowing what just brushed past you..LOLYou will never know! It could be to mythical and ruthless killer mullet. The name strikes fear into the heart of fisherman and divers alike! :silly: :silly:

Mate the people and the fish in the port are two headed web toed banjo playing folk, why go all that way just stop in at the Colac Hotel!

So is this available to Australian residents or not? Because my Dad has some really old Penn reels that would be 30+ years old and they have fallen into disrepair.

I can see it snapping as soon as a big fish takes!
