Targeting Bream, Bream and ummm more Bream.
 
Got into a slob this morning.
 

make sure you've got a wake at the back before deploying the scaler bag...the bag should be just in the wash and the scaler bag tumbling over (hence the swivel on the scaler line).
Most have two bags...the inner bag you fill with the fish to be scaled and then that goes into the outer bag.
Some people dont use the inner bag, takes a bit longer to scale but not a lot of difference but make sure your fish are big enough that they wont go through the mesh of the larger outer bag.
Great for whiting to get rid of the slime and the scales and as jayman mentioned great for doing the squid (take out the head and guts first though!).
Would never put gar in them as you will destroy them (running your hand down the gar scales them pretty well).
great tool to have to save some time on the filleting table.

Thanks for the tip guy's I got 18 squid on the drift yesterday around the spot Scizzors recomended, 1st time I used a jig with a rod as I use to use a float, no more lol I'm now hooked.

I'm a bit pedantic about my ice slurry.
1.25 coke bottles full of fresh frozen water for ice. "emergency water supply"
2L coke full frozen sea water for deep chill in fish slurry
frames, crab shells & prawn shells minced up & Chicken pellets into burley logs to fit berley pot
I need to stop being so tight & refreezing bait all the time
Would like to go halves in big block  IQF & small squid!

From a pleasant morning on the mudsuckers......"me bashem good"

Did a short video on tying a twisted dropper loop. I find it's good for stopping your hook links from tangling around the main line for paternoster rigs.
 
Because its quite stiff if can also be used with the 'drop shotting' technique I wrote up about before, particularly if you put some heat-shrink tube over the twisted dropper-hook connection.
 

We troll these 8-10cm lengths of plastic tubing in 4 or 5mm with an O'Shaunessy hook behind boats and kayaks for salmon. They skip across the surface and create a very visual bubble trail. Work a treat and cost zipp. Must be tight arse Tuesday!

The ones Ive seen them use are the plastic squid heads in white (so they dont sink).
We've got them on tuna skirts too so almost anything will get their attention.
We have caught them on sour snakes before too after soft plastics were ripped up after several double hookups.
Good fun.

+1 for KL 1/0s but like Josh I still like my long shanks in size 4 (or 6 depending upon location) as I still like to jag and sometimes try to rip their lips off..hehe...old habits are hard to break when getting bites.

Saunders always makes me think of KFC for some reason...
 
No worries we will take a look a bit east of the Pages first and go from there.

ScottyDog you could walk across them. Plenty of fish about just head down and look around pages or off Newland Head victor and you will find them.

Winning fish!
 

 

caught some salmon trout on trolled sour snakes on a jig head at Kingscote in the boat....original soft plastic was shredded and we'd caught/released a heap so one of the guys decided to try it...and immediate hookup...funny as!

Claiming it as my best day fishing ever!Which is a BIG call for me.Heading down to locks well and a MASSIVE school of salmon sitting in a gutter about 40m out.Grabbed my favourite lure Duel Adagio and proceeded to cast for hours on end until my arms were sooooo sore!Normally these schools hold fish 1-3kg but ended up hooking a donkey of a fish!New PB salmon from the surf for me went 5.8kg.Few sharks hanging out the back and kept the school of fish right there. didn't really want to hook a 10ft bronzie but when you foul hook a salmon I suppose it's easy food for him.Thank goodness got my lure back!awesome fun! went back the next day with my whiting rod 6lb line but the school had moved to far out the back to cast

Hi, for those that are fishing the site known as the Cape Jaffa in the Gulf - I have compiled a video, telling the story of it.Built in 1951 in a back yard shed in Kingston SE, and sinking in 1973 - of the vicinity of Carrickalinga in some 27 metres of water - This short video tells of the boat's working life and ownerships.It provides a bit of insight of the vessel, and what you are fishing on.I hope you enjoy.Safe fishing on the water, and hope you all have a bumper season.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3fsjklwuZw
