It varies on which part of the state you are in and how far out to sea you are but generally in this gulf it may well be illegal to dump anything that you do not retrieve when you leave. I am not talking about cockle shells and marine stuff used for bait. Hefty fines may apply. Posting on a forum may be used against you by fisheries in court action. So it would be probably be inappropriate to comment on personal experience.Do I think dumping a sack of barley one day and fishing it the next day would work. SHIT YEAH Would feeding a reef work. A decent sized established reef that's not overfish

Luv ya work jay

WOW VERY NICE FISH

Agree with kayak fisherNice to keep a brag sheet,Better to keep a log of all things fishingI agree with others xcel spreadsheet is the go. If your not computer savvy an old exercise book divided into the twelve months will do.Just write down your results with as much info s possegTides, wind direction and strength etc tc

where can we get one of those, I'll take two

You are the exception Dazz, Even if you do catch fish that take line more often than not its the thumb doing the work

Plenty in the Port River and Westlakes,Just look for the tell tale sign of the little volcanos at the low tide mark

There was fly line for $10.00Line is something I wouldn't go cheap on,Flyreels on the other hand don't do a lot, There pretty much just reservoirs for holding the line.

Firstly you need to decide on what u prefer,Flatter bottom hulls are more stable at anchor, but shockers into the chop. Deeper v's are less stable at anchor but cut up the chop. Whats more important to you ?Tinnies are lighter easier to tow, cheaper on fuel, but the rides not as good. Again what is more important to you. Personally I'd go for a deep V, no matter who you are u will always go out and get caught out in rough weather. So what if it rocks a bit at anchor.Nothing worse then pounding into a southerly returning from goannas, all your expensive electronics, BANG BANG That short sharp

I had the line all wrapped up around the reel it was 10 kg.The last okuma same model but older went 3 seasons. This one carked it at the end of second season. Both within warranty timeframe, warranties mean shit, try and claim, they will rave about the warranty til they get ur cash. Then the fine print comes out. :evil: Perhaps I shouldn't say it out loud but that Sabre rod has copped some punishment. Not real useful on fish over 4-5 kg but its caught more than its share of 10kg plus fish and still feel the sneakiest whiting bite. I found this on ebay for the "PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED"

I can understand how you find it boring, I used to as well. I fished with an old school Italian bloke many many years ago, a handliner at Pt Vic. Frustrated the crap out of me, I wanted to see the rod bend, hear the reel screaming, that was the rush. There was no joy on the handline for me then. Not any more .... Last sesh I had with a mate we were rooted, and that was just after the first fish. We looked at each other and pissed ourselves laughing at how stuffed we were. We used to laugh at the idea of the electric reels. Not any more.... That was his first comment as soon as the fish was on

Have considered them but they are 1-1 ratio, handlining would be faster. Maybe for sharks Last time I went on charter I never took the rod out of the holder. Was fishing about 150 ft of water, almost half a kilo of lead, used the Saltiga and just wound the line up rod still in holder. Smart ass captain asked me if my husband fishes too

My mistake Sil, the outfit that snapped that night only had 20lb braid, connected to a sabre 196-6. The reel was locked up tight though as tight as it could go. Its my whiting rod. It shouldn't have snapped with 20lb line because its rated to 20lb, suppliers told me that for most anglers it wont, he classified us as the 5% ers, "sorry sounds like Im bragging" because we catch fish its not designed to be under that stress consistently. Supplier wouldn't honour the warranty. I do run 80lb on all my heavy outfits, Saltiga, tld , shimano 6500 etc, but these outfits are too heavy to hold all night
