I think there was a case maybe two years ago where a pro snapper fisherman was taking fish during the ban from a ship in a tinnie to shore to a waiting car he got busted ,the ban has to be there for a reason nan maybe the pros do rape pillage and plunder but we all have to play are part in conservation of this fish species ,i mean cmon mate it is one month big deal,some people carry on as if it has been 10 years i dont understand it.

Mate i dont think it is a cop out or a load of crap ,these fish spawn during the months around when the ban is on ,if you remember uhf put up a video of himself catching a descent snapper before the ban was in place ,you have 11 months of the year to target this species ,1 month out of 12 is a small price to pay for the survival and health of a fish species ,if we didnt have a ban on catching them at this time of the year do you think you would have been able to pull those crackers you did last year in the port ,personnaly id support a 3 month ban on the taking of these fish at this time of the year,go down to the ramp on friday and see how many boats are out then go back on sat/sun and see how many boats are out ,youll be lucky to get a park 1 months ban is nothing ,but it might just give this species a chance ,and to get back to the original post i suppose it was a pro who chucked the snapper in at sullies .

Good post caterpiller ,the dinosors are extinct and as times change so will attitudes ,i think its great to have the female gender involved in this activity ,my sister was a early fisherwoman when she was with an avid fisherman ,i had to struggle to get my rods back when i got out of the army from her ,some people just wont listen when you tell them that they are doing wrong they just dont care as most are 2 x a year fishermen ,why you would want to keep a female crab with roe is beyond me keep up the good work stay safe.

Probably day time ,might not see em at night sorry mate couldnt help myself

Thanks for sharing that mate some incredible footage ,and the depths that some of those fish live at is amazing ,i dont think the skate near the end had his sonar on when he banged into the bottom

i just get me dog in there to round em up into the basket

I just get on my hands and knees and fell for them with my hands ,found this to be easy enough might not get as many as quick but it is all fun ,i found a spot where they were but thought i would move bad idea took me a while to find another patch

Hi all well i have been looking at alvey reels on ebay ,just to see wat they go for compared with retail ,anyway i am watching this boat reel starts of at around 25.00 so i thin it will maybe go for 40.00 max,anyway i go to anglers warehouse to check out the price of a new one ,it goes for 59.00 brand new same reel ,but brand new .By now this reel has gone to 89.00 and im thinking this has gotta be a joke ,check it out tonight it sold for 102.00 +freight as the title says one born every day what a mug .

Plenty of mugs buying alvey's too

went for a quick sesh this morning of brighton ,1 gar and 1 squid a pathetic effort gar were very flighty and small ,if i could eat puffers i could have had a descent feed ,bloody rats of the sea i am not to gentle with these vermin i must say when unhooking them ,loads of tommies that were very small so i didnt even bother,still tasted ok for dinner

Excellent video jack ,paul worthsling look out

Hi mate imagine how wide some of those lightning bolts are ,they look thin in the photos but imagine if you were closer

this is true rocknev ,i use spinners in my boat as well but after watching the alvey dvd i started wondering if it would be worth while using one as a snapper reel rather than my abu 7000,dont get me wrong here i still enjoy using my spinners but maybe i am thinking its time to get back on the beach and back to what i was taught on ,as for some one saying they arent good for casting long distance there talking out there hat,maybe there not that good for lures but they can still be used for them .

Well ausea all i can say is that in about 8 years they will have been making these reels for 100 years ,they are still for sale unlike others that have come and gone ,they are a robust no nonsence reel desighned for australian conditions ,no 6000 ball bearings to worry about ,no fine mesh gearing or fancy anodising to get scratched or having to worry that if sand gets into it to stuff it up ,just an alround tough as nails reel, that you can drop in the sand and seawater and not have to worry about it jamming up ,they make different reels for different applications ,i woudlnt take my alvey 700 out with a surf rod in the boat ,but i would take my 500c out on a 6 foot rod in fact i am thinking about selling my abu 7000 and replacing it with an alvey snapper reel ,originally this thread was about alvey reels, who on here still uses them and obviuosly there are a band of fishermen out there who still do use them regularly and love them,it wasnt about seamartin reels or ebay auctions ,lets try to stay on the thread topic ,if you want to talk about seamartins or doc martins or ebay auctions start a thread on it mate
