a net, a spear or a big treble to jag the buggers should make it interesting!Tho what good will it do?? Each of them will drop more eggs than one cares to think about.

I personally love nitlon braid and vanish flurocarbon for my light bream stuff and also heavier for salmon and the like.

Sounds like a great day out - I wouldn't have tried any rivers for a while with all the rain... Was hard enough to catch shrimp to feed my pet goldens last week You be fishing north or south of town if you don't mind me asking?

Great effort John, love the vids.Just watched the carp one - what flies are the go for the mud monsters?

Just went up there....I had these same thoughts about the blue stuff. They only had that in the 1km spools....Ended up picking up 300m of 6lb and 300m of 15lb, both in yellow.

Would've hoped the idea of keeping barbs would be well and truly passed by now.. :dry: Best and only way IMHO to release a ray is to cut him off. No way he can damage you, and the ray will swim off A-OK, with the hooks rusting out not long after release. If you can afford to go fishing, you can afford to retie a hook. Surely the only real way of doing it if you're not keeping it for food/bait Again, its a moral thing.... Do you personally feel compassion for another living thing? We're at the top of the food chain -if you're going to kill it for a reason, fine, but there's no point in tortu

Guess where I'll be tomorrow

its the shit... I swear by it. Not everyone does, but I think its about what you have your best experiences with.If you're looking too offload a chunk of it I'd pay my way for 200 yards of it :PI have it in the 6lb, have bought it the last 2 times I've had to respool. Any knots come out easy, best I've had (not that that's all that many).

65! What a turn out.Can imagine it being pretty tough in a totally new country - great idea.

great fish, well done Tyke.Maybe could photoshop that picture a little?

IMHO - I reckon the best fishing one could hope to do is in a picture-perfect English/Scottish/Irish/Central European stream.One of the rivers we spotted in Switzerland near Interlaken :woohoo: Too bad I didn't get to fish it

Its a gold coin to enter - with all the proceeds going to Childhood Cancer research. Search this forum for last years event - it managed to raise a wad of money and got from memory 150+ I think out to the event. Definetely one to support :woohoo:

just realised Dyneema make my line of choice atm - Nitlon. So maybe those huge spools would be worth a crack?

I would've said if you're paying 60 bucks for 300 yards of the stuff you're doing pretty damn good.You don't want to waste your time with crap line.At the same time, if you can pick up some decent stuff in those huge spools over ebay you could be on a winner.

posted it in another thread - but anyone had any luck with blades in the surf?Accidently ordered the larger size of berkely big-eye over the net not long ago. These cast a mile and still give off that great vibration. I'm sure they'd be a killer, but yet to test it myself.

Anyone given blades a crack the sambos? You'd reckon it'd get their attention. Plan on throwing them around Browns in July some time

if any safwaa fellas are doing a run, I'd be keen to grab a few HBs off that site. Will pay my share of the postage and all the rest, pick em up at the meeting.

gave them a crack in Prague last year. Not for me, slimy, fatty fish. The rainbow trout bought from the same stand, which was cooked the same way, was really good tho

redfin, trout, bream, flathead, tommies, salmon trout, almost anything.If you read up on blades - these are a small variety and probably the best around 40mm. Others have taken natives on them... The list is endless.I picked up a few in an order before

Hi all,I know these are very popular lures, so thought members might be interested to know they're going for 8 bucks each online. If a few of you got together, you could stock up and probably save some cash.http://www.motackle.com.au/index.cfm?pr=clearoutsThese guys also have a huge range of HBs and other gear.Cheers

I believe slamming a star dropper into the sand, and tying a rope with a hessian bag full of old pillies frozen in a block of tuna oil is the go. The bag goes in and out with the surf.I've only done it once, and we did ok that day. Very easy to lose a star dropper and a hessian bag

email sent, just wondering what happens if I lose one?? Can't find an answer to this question. Seems that happens often enough with SX40s
