Squid Flaps

Hi everyone for all you fishos out there its Robyn here from St Kilda Tackle and Tucker. As I don't see anything on industry news I would like to let you all know that Robert Kelly passed away last Saturday .Robert as you would be aware owned the Dorsal Fin until recently and was an integral part of Adelaide fishing for many years .I have heard many tales from blokes who Robert taught when they were lads and I know this will come as a shock he was a great personality and a well liked bloke.I know the family will feel rewarded by reminiscences of Robert.I know that all of us at Tackle and Tucker will miss his friendly face and his capacity for a good chin wag.

Not convinced on this one ?????????Sure burley up and in the short term you will get some fish feeding. If it is a heap of fish scraps then it will not take long before the crabs, fish and lice clean the scraps up.As for a bag of wheat, well I can not see the benefit of doing that. If the bag is sealed then there is nothing for the fish to feed on, once the bag splits the wheat would surely disperse quickly, especially in rough weather.Just recently a mate of mine filmed a large rock up around the Goannas, someone obviously has tried the weighted bag of stuff on that drop and as for bringing the fish in, well it sure brought one Magpie Perch in if you know what I mean!

My light out fits are 4lb and 6lb . I always use either 10lb 15lb or 20lb leader depending on what i am targeting . Leader is always heavier or the same as main line . Your outfit is only as strong as the weakest link . I see it all the time where people are using 8lb main with 4lb leader and are wondering why the keep getting busted off ????? The leader needs to be fairly strong because this is a the business end and where you are going to get the most abrasion . And yeah i chase mainly Mulloway but if you have a decent leader on and a fish takes you into a snag you have less chance of the leader getting snapped if it is heavier and more chance of getting the fish out ?

There are three files on the RFL held in SARFAC, most likely held at the BIASA office Flaps.The Chairman must know in which cabinet they are stored. There are two ring binder files (very thick), and one other bound document which was given to the Labour Party before it's annual conference some time back to endeavour to change the Parties policy on this issue, but unfortunately failed. All documents have the history from the NSW and Victorian start-up. Included are calculations on expected revenues and other interesting data.The CYC file is in a five drawer A4 plastic drawer set under the heading CYC. So many changes. In the last two years may have left the filing system in a mess.Ring the. Chair and arrange to meet him at BIASA office, you will be surprise at what you will read. Those files took ten years of a persons and others lives.u

Brilliant Jack and TB....oh the change is for his speeding fines and the bulk is new doors for the Adelaide oval dunnies...

I couldn't give a rats razoo about the history. It's the outcome of this mess that needs fixing.Reading all the crap stored in Sarfac, pirsa or most other organisations dusty safes would be a waste of my life.Send a quick email off to Tom Kousantonis and tell him to stop saving all the revenue to pay off his speeding fines so we can keep the ramp going!

Mate, whats the story? Do you have anything positive to contribute? Stick up a decent fishing report and please god save me from organisations established to represent the rec angler! Personally, i think its only a matter of time before the carpark goes and residential buildings riseim just not really that clear on who would pocket the $25mil.

I"ve recently started using the new Stren Lazer braid,14 bucks for a 125yd spool.Its similar to fire line but its micro thin,smooth, limp, casts well, knots well, doesnt fluff up, am very impressed with it.

No, not lazy at all, but neither am I inclined to call you. We've spoken to Craig Evans directly about the topic in a lengthy meeting (as it directly affects our business) and I'm happy to take Moggy on his word about the things Gary Johanson had to say. Surely if the information is confidential and you tell me and then I repeat it, it's on your head as much as mine?I'm just wondering why you would choose to come here to comment on something like this if you have nothing you can actually contribute to the thread other than cryptic messages? If I recall correctly this isn't the first time you've alluded to having special 'inside information' on a topic that you 'couldn't share with the public'. You can call it healthy skepticism if you like.

Okay here's the info on what's going on here (to the best of my knowledge):The CYC are a non-profit community club. Raising money for them is actually a lot harder than you would imagine with all those big boats parked in there. So far they have raised $1 million towards the extension of the breakwater, which will cost around $2 million. They are asking the government chip in the rest of the funds and in exchange they are guaranteeing the North Haven Ramp will stay open to the public and be maintained until 2023. However, the government want them to guarantee that the ramp stays open until 2070! 67 years! To me that seems like a very unreasonable request, especially since the other option for the CYC is to simply shut the ramp.If the CYC were to close North Haven, they could easily generate the funds needed to extend the breakwater. The ramp does not generate even close to what you would think per year and using that space as boat storage or something similar would be a better option for the CYC, financially, however they don't really want to do that. They are happy to continue running it, but feel that the government should shoulder some of the financial responsibility.The editorial in the latest SA Angler also has quite a lot of info about this and why it is an absolute necessity to extend the breakwater. Many people are up in arms about the government possibly using money from the boating levy fund to pay for this, because it's private property. However, the owners of most of the craft in the marina have been paying into the fund for years, typically about $250 a year each which is more than the average trailer boatie pays (around $50ish per year) and so it doesn't seem so unreasonable to chip some of that money back in to benefit everyone.Recs get a prime boat ramp. The CYC and its members get an extended breakwater and safer marina and the government gets a public service run on their behalf, guaranteed for 10 years, for basically nothing. Seems like a no-brainer to me personally.

I don't agree with you.What we have is a capitalistic greed driven industry that I have been involved in that makes millionaires, most who never don a mask, and are even syndicates, filthy rich. All to sell to SE Asian Millionaires a product that you nor I can afford to purchase. Same with crayfish. The reason why they probably took undersize abs is because people like me have been there before and taken all the good fish that the recs good can not get at due to the depth and time it takes to know where they are. I can expand on this if you want. What this case really represents is access to fish that we all might claim a right to where a government enacts laws to protect a few because their tax takes will be greater.

"The federally funded Aboriginal Legal Rights Movement picked up the case "Seems like a Win-Win for all involved...I wish i could get in on these scams.

@Waspy. You are not a native of this country, Were you born to indigenous Australians? You are a descendant of migrants. Seems the fisheries act of 1971 that 4Tha posted has been over ridden by the High Court of Australia.

here is another clip from the day i'm sorting out how to edit vids so bare with the poor quality till I learn it all that bit better http://youtu.be/wdbgjf3--eEcheers 4THA

Got it from Sharron at Compleat Angler. "Frill Neck Caps" is the brand but have another for the missus which is identical named "adapt a cap" and seen another version at local tackle store for around $20.They really are a must in those conditions. I'd forgotten it last Friday and got burnt especially from the reflection off the water.Cheers.

Hahaha, the ninja cap protects me and i don't scare the sea life!I was given fair warning by 4tha to mind the language...We let a few little ones live on too Chief. Probably let four or five go free.If you read this Plankton, "spoof" is an Australian technical term used to denote Sperm.
