I'll be going when it opens, as I have run out of them in the freezer. Glad I have the cockle rakes - makes the process so much quicker and easier David

Bit more than that. Doesn’t open until 1 November

Crab nets can be picked up cheaply as the others have said. I used the big heavy duty ones, as some areas i fish have a current. These are more expensive but when we go to ards, you can sometimes get 4 - 6 big ones at a time! The only downside is my little one can't pull them up. Can't wait to get out and start getting them David

We have someone at the club who will be able to help with this David

Hi guys Sorry to revive an extremely old post. We were talking last night at the club meeting about c sinkers and how they are no longer manufacturered. Does anybody know who ended up buying the moulds? David

Good to see supporting ABS as well I think you need to a savage tackle sticker on the left side, to balance it all out

What about towns in between such as port wakefield, dublin, etc Close to adelaide and yorkes, which may open up your work options. Or you can look at two wells, gawler, paralowie - which was still in suburbia but generally have bigger sizes blocks. Good luck with your decision - at least you have a boat that will allow you to fish in most places around sa Good luck with the x-lotto - we are also waiting for all our numbers to come up as well!

Very interesting topic - i must have missed the original thread. In my role, i hear and see a lot of fish pictures and generally have a good idea of what's biting where. Similar to earlier posts, i generally don't give out specific marks, although have helped a number of regular custumers get onto the fish by putting them in the right areas, with the right bait and tides. I too have some secret spots, which i don't share, as i have been sworn to secrecy. I never fish them during school holidays and if i see a boat heading my way, i up anchor and drift. But like most boaties, i have h

Is Safa still around? Haven't heard any updates for a while - will be interesting to see if they are involved in discussions about this matter.

Will be interesting to see what happens and how effective this new council will be. Are they volunteered positions or is there funding attached? Would hate to see the same issues with the new group - i think we need to follow the victorian model and make some drastic changes, so we can once again have an outstanding fishery in the next 5 to 10 years. Also will be interesting to see if they allow the dredging of the channel as originally planned, given they seem to be pro business (relaxing trading hours, reducing business tax, etc). David

From The Advertiser: A SURGE in blue-ringed octopus sightings has experts and surf clubs warning beachgoers to keep their children away from rocks, rubble and other ideal hiding places for the tiny yet deadly animal. Surf Life Saving SA marketing manager Sita Bacher said she has received at least five reports of the highly venomous creature during the past three weeks. “I’ve worked here for five years and I’d never heard of them in metropolitan Adelaide,” Ms Bacher said. “They’re very small, you’ll find them under rocks, they’re nocturnal so watch out at twilight.”

Wow, really interesting. Looking at the one in South Australia, they are tracking a tiger shark!! I didn't realise they came down into our waters!!! David

Awesome stuff. I've already put savagetackle down to be a sponsor for 2018 Such a great cause David

I haven't been in November, as the snapper ban is in place. But when we go in late October, there are plenty of whiting, snapper and snook from the boat. November or as we call it - blowvember, should produce tommies, squid and big gar. You should also get snook off the jetty as well. I normally have a burley pot full of pilchard pieces and use bluebait as the bait. I also have a squid jig ready to go, as you'll pick up a few as they find the burley trail. Saying this, we normally target snook in jan/feb off that jetty in late Jan/feb. In late November, you'll also have the chance of kingfis

When i used to wade for whiting, i bought a 7 foot metal rod, which i got the last foot bent (had to get them to do it as it was too thick). I then gaffer taped a piece of wire to that end, that i fashioned into a circle (to hold the gents). I then gaffer taped two pieces of tube as the rod holders and a small container for the burley. It worked very well and was fashioned on some of the old timer set ups. The wading bag on my shoulder then carried tackle and held the fish. I've tried the floating set up but found myself getting annoyed as it would catch the wind. And if the wind was comin

Bloodworm, when you are defrosting the natural worms, either use paper towel or dry beach sand. That will suck up the juices and will be perfect to use David

I've got a converted beer keg that does the job for me ☺ Does 40 with any issues and only use it to steam crabs now (once you've steamed them, you'll never boil them again).

Done. A photo of me and the family on the boat at our recent Point Turton trip

Dutchy, that's cheap for IQF's. Where are these from?

Thanks for that. Will be there this weekend.Yes, I've got heaps of different ones and I've just found heaps of success with these particular ones. My friend who fishes with me often uses the red and white ones and has just as much success. I suppose I just put it down to what you feel more confident in using and this quite often reflects in your catch rates.David

Mick would you be able to put up a picture of them and also, what is the cost? Lastly, how many do you have in stock?David

Thanks Shagging - I did see those but they are not what I'm after. The ones that I'm after are sized at 2.5 and need to be cloth covered and green.I'm hoping that someone here knows of a website or a tackle store that they might be available from.David

Hi guysI went to a number of tackle stores during the week (SFS and Ray and Anne's), looking for the yozuri oita cloth jags. In particular, I'm looking for the 2.5 size in green.Does anyone know of any tackle shops that have them? All the tackle shops seem to have got rid of the cloth ones and now have some very interesting colours (one looked liked nemo!).Please let me know.David

Thanks guys, might have a look at the alvey as an alternative. I'm assuming you can use the same line on them as you would a normal eggie?? What's their line capacity like??David
