Thanks crusher that is exactly the info i needed.

The spot on in mt gambier is on that list, excellent little blue lake I'll look it up

Ok that seems to be the general consensus.. I know the glenelg river is in sa for a while but I'm guessing that i will need a fishing licence to fish in Nelson is this correct?

Hi all, going to mt gambier next week for a few days and want to get a sneaky fish or 2 in... Can anyone point me in the right direction? I don't mind if it's fresh or salt water

just got back from another session; braid snapped at the knot when i tried to set the hook. No big deal, re tied with a 5 turn surgeon and it managed to cop a fair bit of abuse and still hold, got snagged a few times under the jervois and still smiling =D

thanks ranger will do, thanks for all the help from you and every one else i'm gonna keep at it with the braid that's on there until i get paid next.Hopefully i won't get the itch to jump back to mono

i think i'm going to buy some thicker braid 6lb as i don't want to overload the rod.Tried the albright that slipped, and the double uni snapped at the knot.

ok i just did the bucket test using a 5 turn surgeons knot as my hands aren't up for fiddling around and the braid snapped at the knot. On the fiddling note does/ has anyone used a sewing needle to tie their knots?

i'll give it a shot when i get home, that's sound advice right there. Good thing i just bought a new bucket

lubricated them good and proper, pulled them up slowly although once i had them seated i did give them a little tug but ddidn't let the lines go slack (got them tight and gave them a tug).I think it's 9lb leader

i'm definately putting it down to my knot tying ability ranger. It's not the tools it's the tradesman. Haha i'm back at tafe next week so i'll be hard pressed for time but i'll work something out

i'll definately be practising my knots alot, i was quite keen and jumped to the opportunity to wet a line. Weights were right down on lures, it was a little junior 40 crank bait didn't even know it was there

last night equipped with my rod and reel bought from ranger; some leader and a few lures i trekked down to westlakes and had a few dozen cast when my leader snapped off at the join (bye bye only jig head i'd brought), not wanting to try to tie another albright knot as i had decided that's where the break was and i wasn't going to chance it again i tried the double uni with the light fading fast (quite difficult) and chuck on a hard body that i had gotten a few hours prior... This was good got another 30 casts or so... Snap again same spot.. Giving up as there was no light left to work in i wound up my braid and then splash rattle my lure that was sitting out about 5 meters from the shore floating got hit.. Oh well.Still going to keep at it however i'm not very trusting of these 2 knots and my ability to tie them..Deciding on the 5 turn surgeon next time.
