With respect AD,
To achieve any outcome at all, the place to do that would be in the yet-to-be-created Fisheries Council - not social media - and in order to achieve a good outcome for rec's, the arguments put to that overriding Council by our representative(s) will need to be 100% valid, supported by facts and (somehow) agreed by the majority of recs's.
With the election of a new Government the entire face of fishing politics in SA has changed, and we need to change with it. There is no place for continued attacks between members of the rec fishing community. Different points of view should result in respectful discussion and eventual compromise, not short term point scoring.
May be worth remembering that every person who becomes seriously involved in rec fishing representation in this State is a volunteer *, and we will need them all if we're going to progress. There really aren't that many - never has been.
I believe that we have from now until the official formation of the Recreational Fishing Council to get our act together, else the current divisions between our existing organisations will simply be carried into the business of that Council - to the detriment of the entire SA rec community.
Right now the primary focus of our existing organisations should be on overall organisation of the SA rec sector, not individual fishing issues (KGW, SBT etc). We get one chance to get the foundations right.
Cheers,
RJ
* For about 40 years, the only paid rec fishing representatives in SA have been the successive Executive Officers of SARFAC/RFSA.

Hey Samastini, if you click the "Last auto saved" text it gives a better explanation than I would have, I didn't realise it actually had the explanation until tonight.

Hopefully it actually does as it says and works properly, I've never tested it. Time to test

Always take a crabnet with you works for me.

Thats the trouble with you mate your right aqnd silly people like us are always wrong. Why be personal when people give their views? You should go fishing more instead of being this stupid political nazi     

Yes, you are correct, just a rehash of past failures, with nothing new.  Just a call for "faith". Waste of everyone's time.

I'm a fan of the tufline xp braid...
I get mine from ebay...shimreels is the seller, based in Singapore. Prices are in $US but I got a 30lb 600yd spool for just over $50 delivered. They have small and bulk spools and variety of colours.

Very good read Alex and great fotos

G'day
You should avoid sawdust from chainsaws as it contains oil
I bought a couple of large bags of sawdust from master butchers (redgum and beechwood) I used a mix of both.
Samastini.
I used brine mixes for a while and even though I love salt, we found it much too salty to the taste.
So I cut it down to half, too salty, then 1/4 and then did a complete rethink.  I considered the litres of brine, the mess and the cost.  
I decided to try just applying a small amount of flavour direct to the fish, heavy use of salt to preserve is not necessary, I vacuum pack in serves and freeze.
So, my new method, is quick, easy, makes much less mess and tastes great.  I mix up some sauces in about equal parts, sweet chilli, soy or light soy or honey soy, some brown sugar, put the fish straight on the smoker racks and paint the mix on.  Then I prepare and light the smoker and when it's all ready about 45 mins later, stick the racks in the smoker for a 40 mins to an hour (size of fish and temp dependent)
Tastes great and so much simpler
By the way for others who also have a Hark smoker, after my first few times of using it I realised that the water in the tray was not contributing much as it was cold to start.  So now I boil up a jug full of water which is put in the pan just before the fish, so plenty of steam
Cheers
