It does work a lot better when you have a Snapper to hand :P The wine barrel shaving are terrific- be a little sparing with them though - the fish did have a little bit of an oily after-taste which is due to over smoking

:laugh: Just what all the Poms will be saying at the party tonight!!! :lol:

Yum, thought I'd have a go at smoking a whole Snapper. Had one in the freezer that just nicely fit into the smokebox.No brine, just rubbed on rock salt,olive oil and brown sugar.Used The oak wine barrel sawdust from Angler's Choice.Chucked him into the smoker then baked him slowly in the BBQ for an hour ( still in smokebox).Thought it would be different to take to a party tonight.Sneaked a taste and I'm very happy with the result,nice to go with a few beers but I'm driving!

That's what I use... I don't eat enough onions to warrant using an onion bag Tritto...............

That's typical It just seems to be the way,things becoming much more expensive .You notice things becoming smaller as well as you get older - bit like body parts :unsure:

Sorry to hear this Nev.Bad time to happen!!I mean,where will you find another fishing companion so close to Christmas?? :laugh: Kidding, bad luck for him so near to Christmas,I wish him well.

VMR's (Volunteer Marine Rescue)are able to receive a certain amount of Govt funding but they need a lot more to barely survive ( I'm a member of Sea Rescue).The upkepp of equipment is hugely expensive.If ya have a few $$'s in ya pocket - give it to them!I know some fairly fancy craft get towed back in and they don't drop a $. Now that makes me mad.So yep - it's "free" - but anyone that treats the VMR's as free is pretty low........Sorry - something I feel really strong about!

Best wishes to all , may health ,wealth and happiness be your companions in 2011.

There's no blocks... it's just a huge pile of boat anchors built up in the one spot :laugh: :laugh: And wanting more!!

Thanks Chuck.Pleasure to meet you.

I thought it was doing limited runs already??Guess I'm looking for something to blame.

Wondering if anyone has any thoughts or concerns on the desal plant and what affect it could have on the local waters??We were fishing close by the other day (but not inside the designated no go zone)The water was quite cloudy,nearly milky.Everywhere else we fished was crystal clear.Could the outlet be stirring up the water??Also noted that we saw 4 boats run through the no go zone!

It is an excellent book indeed,I had a browse through one.Highly recommended to anyone new or intermediate with SA fishing:)

Rock Cod tend to hang around reefy spots, they are a pain in the arse as you are finding.For Whiting you need to bee looking for weeks /seagrass beds and fish the open patches close by.

:laugh: No one has mentioned warm beer yet!!! :laugh: :vomit:

I'm not really a river fisherman so wondered if anyone can give me some general advice.Looks like there will be a few Poms / new arrivals from my forum coming along - but they are asking what bait / rigs and tackle to bring??Could anyone give me a simple list to post up??Most of these guys have never dropped a line in Australian water.Thanks in advance:) :)

I had a go with them last year. No success with them on Gar or Tommies. Still got em' knocking around on the boat so will give them another go this year.I thought they might be handy to stash away for those times when you forget the real thing

Look at the choppers on this thing.:ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy: :woohoo: :woohoo: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1322118/British-fisherman-grapples-giant-piranha-goliath-tigerfish.html

A big hangover was reeled in!!Out to celebrate a mate's 40th ( sorry I did not say hello Southie)Staggered home off our faces at around 4.30 am. Had a very quiet day for some reason????:vomit: :vomit:

He could well be........... ;)LOL..without seeing the issue in question....does his name start with a T and end in an E?The forum name does :)
