nah it,s not bad if you bag out there it is a long jetty at port germein that is why i take a trolley jack to carry my gear on the way in and out makes it a bit quicker and easier,

There is a fella over at Moonta that makes a crab steamer out of 10 gallon kegs. Complete with stainless steel basket. I haven't picked mine up yet' date=' gonna get it at xmas when I'm over there. His name is Len and his number is 0432732414.[attachment=16465']Image.jpg[/attachment]

sorry i was talking bout the green snap fluro sticks that you can put inside your floathave,nt even tried using one those jigs yet have to give em a go next time im at ardrossan

the lights are good for attracting squid like carl said but it is better to put them inside the float with a whole tommy ruff out on a squid shaft jig you can get the lights pretty cheap they are at bcf

Seals are bloody fun to swim with. We rafted up our boats at althorpes a couple summers ago to cook up some fresh caught cray and other random fish found around the area. Anyway they were playing around at the back of our boat so a few of us jumped in and they were really playful' date=' swim around come up, swim around then sometimes they would swim belly up in front of us and we would rub their belly. It was a real great experience. Probably not a smart thing to do about 100m from Shark alley but I've dived through it, still here, but it was really dark and creepy in there. As for sharking this summer, you can find my little 4m craft on the section bank or naval grounds on any given good day out there![/quote']yeah iv,e been close to seals as well cal awesome experience it i was floating on a black rubber donut about 150 meters away the beach or shoreline from this seal and walrus colony at fowlers bay and the spot is somewhere near this big sand dune called big dipper a couple of seals swam by me then one of my mate,s freinds said to me you know these waters are shark infested waters dont you never got out the water faster in my life. netman

Here's a seal at semaphore the other day! They're pretty annoying when your crabbing.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt8FfmAL1_k&list=UUxLwpnGq1d_jrervS7icLGQ&feature=player_detailpage

If those jetty loving seals are attracting sharks to metro waters then we better ban fishing and swimming altogether.Can't have swimmers who knowingly enter shark environments getting eaten or disturbing seal breeding/feeding patterns.Don't worry about the marine creatures further down the food chain either as seals are cute and don't eat anything but sea lice or need anything other than protection at all costs. :silly:

yeah alex i really dont recommend catching crabs from outer harbour platform cause most of the crabs there are diesel affected due to tankers rolling in and out the harbour it,s alright to eat the crabs you catch there but if you made it a regular thing catching them there you could wind up with bowel cancer after eating them

cheers alex cause of that pic you posted i will check out semaphore on the friday for about 3 hours if the crabs are there i,ll stick around but if i see any seals i will jump in the car and go up to the carpark at outer harbour and try there cheers netman

sorry about the mispelling of rare just a bit parro at the moment

but only in groups they would attack a fully grown seal quite rear you would find a hammerhead on it,s own and attack one unless it was 14ft or bigger which is rear

cheers for that lash i will try at semaphore on the friday seeing theirs no overcast that day and crab until i have got my limit which is still 40 if you combine 20 blueys and 20 sandys but if i see any seals i will be shifting to the outer harbour platform you dont find seals in there because of traffic through tankers also the harbour has alot of hammerhead sharks and they do attack seals netman

The last two times i have been down to Semaphore and Largs Jettys to see if anyone has been catching any blueys all i have seen is their nets being towed around by seals has anyone else noticed this at all they play with their nets until they get the bait out and eat it then start on another net.iIt gets so bad that the crabbers give up and leave with Summer on the way i am wondering if a seal would have a go at a balloon bait or a person swimming out deep its going to be interesting all the best to you all Lash

As far as i know' date=' got one stepney sells the imps and most tackle stores should stock or be able to source impact grapnel sinkers' date=' which are the norm in pulley rig making.[/quote'']Hey Shims, have you got any idea what they sell the IMPS for? Angler's Choice has them down here but they are expensive, I've found it cheaper to get them from overseas, but a good local source would be great. Also, in what shops have you seen impact grapnels?Thanks

Sources for these items are pretty thin in SA Plankton, but for impact grapnels, here's a link to BCF for them:WA Impact SinkerHaven't personally used the impact grapnels, but a mate of mine swears by them and they do cast real nice!These "Breakaway Imps" are what I use and it's either ask at Got One Stepney, or order them off ebay; Don't know of any sources at this time unfortunately. They hit the wallet kinda hard at around $1.80 each but you can use any any wire terminated sinker you want with them, which is great for me since i almost exclusively use swivel bomb sinkers to reduce that alvey line twist.Here's a pic for ya:You thread your sinker on and put the "paddle" back on, bait the hook and put it in the notch and cast;When the rig hits the water, the paddle is forced upwards, throwing the hook out of the notch. I've never had one fail to release the hook out yet, so it works great!Hope this helps!

is that a snell knot tied up the top of the clip netman might be be mistaking but it looks like one

hey fellas just wanting to know if this rig is good for casting long distances i found out how to tie up this rig on youtube but never have used it me and my cousin have got a trip to ardrossan later this year and i have seen snapper caught off the end of the jetty there the guy that was tying the the rig on youtube was using a snapper sinker so i assume it,s good for snapper just need to know if the rig im talking about is good for casting long distance cause you have to get a fairway out to catch them there cheers netman

brighton jetty has been good for sharks and that,s south if your talking about fishing for sharks off southern beaches your really going to need an offshore wind blowing for that.

even if i voted yes i doubt it would be allowed or ever happen as the desalination plant is in the area plus as already mentioned it,s a breeding ground for snapper.

i pickle myself the way i do it is white vinager two chillis whole black cracked pepper whole fresh from a grinder two tablespoons of minced garlic and one tablespoon of white sugar for a bit of sweetness all into a empty pickled mustard jar and let marinate pickle for 3 to 5 days

could be a baby giant crab as seen in the catch limit section of this sight

and is it legal to operate genarators on jetty,s

hi fellas just wanting to know what kind of voltage genarator i need for a 240 volt portable fridge cheers netman

oh and i did' date='nt have to smoke them as they were straight from the supermarket so they were already done 4 me[/quote']Got yaYou're asking for a recipe on how to utilize commercially made Scottish kippers such as those found in the frozen section in the supermarket. I think most interpreted your question as how to home replicate the Scottish kipper experience with local fish species and a smoker.I enjoy the odd meal of kippers whenever the wife is not home and usually grill them till cooked and eat hot with bread. I have also made a version of kedgeree with leftover rice' date=' pieces of kipper, pepper and lemon juice. http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/kipperkedgeree_87265Being a cold smoked and partially cooked fish product they need to be fully cooked, but once deboned, you could use them in any recipe for smoked fish. They would go good in a salad, dip, pasta, fish pie or with eggs.[/quote']did them the same way as grilling them but with diced tomato and onion on top of the kippers with a squeeze of lemon

note boil the spuds until thay are soft and then squeeze the lemon over the kipper and diced tomato with basil and rocket and then add paul newmans sauce on the side with your salad.
