    They may have driven past last time, but we weren't in a lock down then - we are still in a lock down period although with a few lifted restrictions.

    Fishing is not exercise, wish it was but it's not.

    Fishing is fishing - can't have people fishing on a jetty or in a boat, but allow someone to fish along a river.

    Wait 1 more day Micky ;)  don't want to see you get an infringement notice.

    It’s strange back when we couldn’t be close people were being close . Kids are playing basketball in the park behind my house right now  . Flicking a lure and walking is a bit different to standing on a jetty .

    Ahh - I was wondering why he lied about working at the Pizza shop - cash in hand job 

     

    Let’s put it this way when it concerns money our federal government comes after you all guns blazing... that’s what found out from Centrelink they cut me claimed I owned a house which put me over limits ..... that was Xmas Eve 2019 took me weeks to prove I don’t and forced them to give me rent assistance for the first time .... and my experts said houses are not assets especially when you don’t own one :) 

  3. Yep it’s hit hard I’m in the high risk group . This time I can’t get out and fish :( my volunteering for jobseeker the charity has shut down so other than going to the supermarket or chemist I’m home . Managed to see mum take her to see Dad in care stand in a massive line at woollies force my mum to shop because I can’t go collect her . Had to cancel my appointment to see my GP I’m having joint issues I have gout and arthritis not sure it’s either of those but I changed it to Thursday next week . I’m waiting for the lockdown to lift and find the bream . Think my family is happy I canceled my appointment have to catch the bus it’s cheaper than car park fees . Stay strong follow the rules we will get there . Me in a mask I forgot I’ve lost weight again 12 kilos maybe more another reason to get to the doctor get weighed lol

    I'm usng the Teton spin only weighs 74g,2m long.2-10g lures and 3-8lb line.Currently using 4lb fireline crystal on a 1000 size reel.Mostly casting 3.2g vibes.Selection can be limited for BFS rods and especially for bait caster rods.This set up has made it easier on the wrist but would have preferred a 7'6" length for a bit of extra distance for flats fishing.

    I’m happy with flicking this rod I’ll let everyone know when I land a fish on it .

    i have landed bream on one this weight before but shorter length 

    and im using 2500 and 1000 reels maybe a 750 again one day

    Sold some gear so am treating myself to an import from Tasmania. Its a Messiah Custom made by Scott James. Have seen a few videos / reviews of the rods so thought I would give one a try. Thought of going local but before I knew it had ordered one. Am very excited about it coming but still have a few weeks to wait. As an aside Scott sends photos of the build so that the purchaser can be part of the that process. Regards, Dean (HBt.)

    You won’t be using it at the local HB in the Onk or the beach I’m guessing . Can’t wait to see the results . I’m happy with a light rod feels perfect with a smaller reel

    ^^^ Interesting. Had a Nitro Vapor 7' 1-3 kg but ended up selling it as it did not feel right in my hand for the hb fishing I enjoy. Am now waiting for an 8'6" 2-4kg to arrive. Keen to see how the extra length works in terms of casting and applying pressure when angling a fish. Regards, HBt.

    I’ll let you know how it goes when I handle a fish . But for me it feels great with a 2500 reel and 1000 reel.

    Just something to consider for future purchases is the Kuying Teton rod,currently the ultimate BFS rod for sale.Plenty of you tube videos on them for reviews and they can be purchased with spare top section if you snap one.

    I have one and i have never had a rod like this thing.First time i used it then i knew why everyone raves about them.

    Anywhere from $20-$25 is what they seem to cost but you need to look around. Good colour. Certainly caught some nice bream on it in the Onk and bream in the Pat on that colour but in the double clutch. Look forward to see what you think. Regards, HBt.

    So I didn’t over pay . I’ll have a flick next week weather permitting. Thanks HBT
