Notice it is the very same people who Labor want to ban that removed this asian ghost net from the reef!TBhttp://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/wa/14059168/net-strangles-marine-life/

Its all nevs doing. Feeding them baked beans and canned soup. nevs pets went and got their mates to come get a free feed.

Amazing footage! But that video is exactly what the pro no take zone brigade could use as ammunition for fish sanctuaries. Hate to say it, but those fish wouldn't be there in that way if we as recs or the pro sector was alowed to fish there

My God RN! That is absotively Incredible!

well fellas where do i start its been a while but i got invited on a trip too salties with the boys from Anglers choice some people my like that or not but its not the point just the way it all started .So anyway got this invite too hit salties fro 3 days leaving 3am friday morning the 15th and like my arm had too be twisted i was in without hesitation.so the time gre closer after a couple of weeks of waiting watching the weather and so fourth and then it didnt look good as we all know last weekend wasnt suppose too be the time for heading too salt creek with the wethear fronts we had coming in.so anyway made the dreaded call on thursday night too make sure it was all still on and yep we had prepared for the worst as you do down there and we truly epxected it .so we headed down early friday morning all still expecting too get blown off the water and into the esky .well on the way past meningie and headed too slaties the sun was popping up and it seemed rather calm from what we thought it would be .anyway headed onto salties and cmae on at 42 a few hours before high tide not alot of beach left already so we pushed up and onto the back track and made our way back onto the beach and up past tea tree we spent the next 4 or so hours just checking for the gutter we wanted and found it around 18k past tea tree. so as ya do when its a bit chilly we whackedo nthe waders and setup up camp ready too fish .Within the first half hour or one the boys landed an undersize mully ,good sign of things too come we hoped .As for the weather ive only done 3 trips too salties and this was the best ive seen there at one stage a couple of the fellas were in shorts and t shirts .so anyway we fished on and got a few more small mullies had a feed then the first legal mully for the weekend rolled out of the gutter courtesy of 1 of the fellas and he had his first ever legal mully.after that we fished on into the early hours of the morning as you do down there. i decided too get a few hours shut eye and was up by 745 with all of 3 hours sleep both nights before .so after i got up and ha d a biati nthe water one ofthe other boys was up and promptly done the same .fished on for a while i got myself a 2.5kg salmon which i was happy with as both trips before i hadnt caught anything .not long after my mate who just got up half hour before landed his first legal saltie mully and went running into camp yelling out fish on .well all the rest of the boys were up and fishing not long after too say the least. maybe half an hour or after waking up the same fella who landed his first ever mully the night before then proceeded too beat his other mully the next morning.By this stage we had already landed atleast 10 to 12 vundersize mullies along with 3 keepers.so anyway i was up early and decided too fish closer too camp and my mates brother moved up into where i was the night before. Well silly me i guess but not long after he landed a nice size gummie. meanwhile i was seeing undersize and legal mullies being pulled all around me .so i decided the time had come and turned my first salt creek salmon into nice slab baits and half hour or so later had my first salt creek gummie .by this stage a few of the boys decided too take a run a bit further up and collect some more of the drift wood that was all over the track for our fire instead of gettin a flat trye running over it later. they made it around 200 metres up the beach when my mates brother was into a mully ,off down the beach i ran with the gaff he popped it out of the gutter and i hit it first shot right in the sweet spot another legal mully in the bag. frustrated as i was by this stage we took his fish too camp i said ill just go put a fresh slab out and come back for your photos so i did that got a few pics for him and the next thing i knew my rod was buckled and it was my turn not long after i had my first salties mully of 84 cm sitting in my hands .so we fished on through the night with a total of 8 legal mullies landed since the friday all legal size and all wihtin our limits. so anyway we woke early for the last day of fishing took some pics of us and the fish and started packing up camp always while fishing.so anyway before we had camp packed up and ready too go home one of the obys who hadnt got a legal mully that weekend snuck 1 in right on the bell and i also got another gummie,lost 1 and my mate accidentally hit my leader trying too gaff the biggest gummie of the trip but thats fishing and thats my latest brag and prob wont be one for a while accept for my 2.5kg i landed last month on a 2-4kg rod and 10lb braid next to noarlunga jetty all in all though its one trip im sure ill never forget .MM

Anyone else notice the tick box to join CommunityRun and GetUp?I believe that GetUp! is one of the groups advocating for Marine Parks, Sanctuary's and lock outs.4099 now.

Signed it. Definitely unchecked the box to join get up though, don't want them to get easy numbers behind them.

Yeah....keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

the one from last year is as it came from the camera.. no editing whatsoever.. decided to have a play around with editing one of the pics from last week.. can become this...

Hey Cheers RN! Will be experimenting as soon as! Muchly appreciated!!!

boyington,set the camera for M, ( should be a turnie thingie on top) use the roller to put it on bulb ( roller thingo near the shutter button) roll that until it says bulb, but then go back one.. should say 30, keep going back and that number will decrease.. them numbers is the timer... 30 is 30 seconds open, etc etc.. i generally use 15 - 30 seconds, depending on how close the lightning is... push the shutter button, and it will time down the seconds you have selected.. longer the shutter is open the more light it will capture.. ( if there are multibly strikes in that time frame, it will capture them all )MANUAL focus,on a WIDE angle lens.. ( there should be an infinity symbol on the lens, set it to that). if you cant find it, focus in on some lights in the distance.. then pan around to where you think the lightning might be coming from.. a tripod is a must, and i use a remote trigger on a cable, so i dont even touch the camera so lessoning vibrations... ( ebay has them for around 10 bucks )on top, there should be an iso setting.. set that to 100-200... again, depending on how far away it is. look for a button saying WB.. thats the white balance setting.. mine is set on flurescent.. thats how you get the blue/purple ting to it.. im by no means an expert, and havnt even read the book on my camera.. i just play around with it and it seems to work for me.try taking some photos, of the same object at night/day/ morning/ dusk etc etc, and play around with the iso.. the same photo, with different iso will capture a completly differnt result.may i suggest geting a filter for the front of the lens.. i use a uv filter mostly... cheap insurance from accidental scratches on the lens.. if it gets a scratch, its uch cheaper than a new lens.on front of lens, it should have the dimater of the lens.. if its like mine and direct from the shop it will more than likely be a 58mm lens.. thats the size of the filter you need.. just screws onto the lens

was the same boyington.. driving, and prob the best bolt ive seen flashed from left to right as far as i could see.. and camera was sitting on the seat next to me.. i was actually heading to port lincoln to chase it, but just that little too far... they got hammered pretty well i heard and seen a few pics from there.. jelous much

Killer Pics Nev! Always love watching a good storm! Missed a lot of it down here last night. Saw the lightning flashes, went outside with my Sony AX390 DSLR but everytime I did, there was no more lightning!Keep em coming! Thanks for Sharing!

darwin is on my bucket list.. mate and myself are right into chasing storms.. my camera ia just a 900 buck canon eos1000d digital slr.. mates camera gear is a tad more expensive than that.. just the body alone without lenses cost him 3500.. hes prob got around 10k of camera gear.. but luck plays most part in getting lightning pics.. have been VERY lucky at some of the photos... nothing really comes close to the photo i captured last year though.. was offered 300 bucks for that, but nope.. there is but one, and its a 30 x 20 framed behind glass on my wall.. will post it for the benifit for new members who may not have seen it.. there are other pics in the photography section for those interested.some cracker photos from other people who also like to get out and watch the sky light up..

see it coming on radar but looked like it would miss whyalla... so off in car to redbanks at arno bay for some photos.. a lazy 300kms drive there and back.

this makes me so angry, there is nothing anyone of us can do about it either. im only 22, whats the world gunna be like when im 50? makes me sick :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick:

JUST GREAT to hear that a super trawler is allowed to fish off Australias coastline!Now why should i comply with any Australian fishing regulation , will they have bag limits or size limits the same as me? It seems if you comply and do the right thing you just get slapped in the face with a wet fish.What smart ministers we have!!! Anyone of us can surley do a much better job, seriously!

On a 9ft rod, my gut feel is that a 4000 size reel MAY be too small. Stradic 5000FI or FJ would be ideal I would think. For 200-250 you can't go wrong!
