I'm not a boat fisho,but have a couple of land based spots that I feed regularly.They seem to produce for me all the time.Mainly pillies and "el cheapo" cat food.

Hook sizes are a personal choice.I like size 8 Mustad "Aberdeen" for whiting;they are a long shanked,fine gauge,high carbon (better rust resistance) and chemically sharpened hook......I was always taught by my Grandad and Uncle that "a small hook can catch big fish,and a big hook won't catch small fish".Worked for me for 40 years

Just the way I was shown when younger to present baits in this way......habit now.As long as it looks natural I suppose,how-ever it's pinned,rather than a mangled,bunched up mess!Tight lines,look forward to reading a report

I've used circles for Bronzies on Lower Yorkes for the last 10 years or so off the sand.Only looking for the little fella's around 3 or 4 footers,nice for a feed.......not chased big fella's,so I don't know.Hook - up rates seem to be good,and never in the gut.I think mine are 8/0,and they hold a good sized tommie or legal sized mullet well.Rigging wise,a wire trace around 40lb about 1m long to a single hook,and a good swivel to the main line,which I run 30lb.Thread the hook through the mouth and then out the gills........then,pierce the flesh between the pectoral fins on his chest,and then pus

Sorry for your loss mate...........SOB's

Well,I have bought the Sol.Good,bad or indifferent,I thought that it was a good match on the T-Curve,and felt good casting the small hard bodies around.Thanks to all you guy's for your feedback.Cheers

I was talking with a mate today,and his son has a Daiwa TD Sol ll 2004 for sale at a good price.Will be taking it out for a flick or two tomorrow for a test run.Any thoughts on this reel matched with said T-Curve appreciated.Cheers

Thanks for all the responses guy's,plenty of food for thought.Cheers

Was looking at the Rarenium the other day......looked nice I must say.Just trying to keep my options open.Thanks guy's

Hi all,I'm looking at purchasing a 1000 size spin reel for throwing small hard bodies, over Yorke Peninsula sand flats.It will be mounted on a 7 foot T-Curve 1-3kg rod,and intending to spool with 3 or 4lb braid.Budget is up to $500.Any thoughts appreciated.Cheers.

Not exactly "Deadliest catch" material Weird looking little fella's

Great report Des,thanks.

Good to see some young kids getting into fishing instead of whatever the others are doing
