thanks alot guys!

hahaha you should give it a go, get the whole family involved u can get the kids making the pasta as its almost impossible to screw up and if u can boil something u could cook it! good luck

thanks heaps for your help guys will hopefully have more luck with the yellowfin whiting now!

have been seeing the ads for the sunbeam food saver that vacuum packs food, would this be useful for freezing fish?

went out on the boat on sunday could see a school of garfish but couldnt catch em for some reason... anyway decided to put a crab net down and got 5 huge blueys so decided to make them into pasta, it takes a while but its very worthwhile. boil and clean the meat out of the crabs make some pasta (plenty of different recipes on the net) and then make little bite sized packets of the joyful tasting stuff!.. it takes a while but if you make lots of it you can freeze it for simple almost ready to eat meal. try not to use sauces that are too overpowering as u dont want to lose the taste of the crab, hope you enjoy!

thats fantastic will have to get some worms soon then!, can you freeze them to store them?? i know it would kill them but would it be a good way to stock decent amounts of them? also how do u keep em alive?

i was told that you can get them all the way down to grange jetty, is this true? any help would be appreciated

why would u want em to sink? if your targeting a fish like yellowfin whiting off a jetty would berley placed on the bottom of the ocean tempt them from the crowded end of the jetty??

thanks for the quick replys guys im tempted to get a few cause im a uni student and cant afford much bait so i figure the berkeley gulp stuff should last longer than live bait..

you know what annoys me, the fact that while driving to the beach you are faced with a MUCH MUCH MUCH greater risk of injury/death than you are when you get in the water. These facts come from the US but they still illustrate the point the fishing community should be pushing very hardCar Crash Stats: There were nearly 6,420,000 auto accidents in the United States in 2005.The financial cost of these crashes is more than 230 Billion dollars. 2.9 million people were injured and 42,636 people killed.About 115 people die every day in vehicle crashes in the United States -- one death every 13 minutesThese are some Australian facts taken from http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roads/safety/road_fatality_statistics/index.aspx (please whenever quoting "facts" supply a reference to verify the information otherwise its relatively useless)In 2007 There were the following deaths per month:January: 132February: 122March: 150April: 139May: 136June: 131July: 134August: 128September: 122October: 130November: 133December: 159To bring the total deaths over the course of the year to : 1,616this doesnt include the amount of victims left with lifelong injuries such as paralysis, amputation of limbs, brain damage or comatosed victims.Now why on earth are we as a community more afraid of being attacked by a shark then turning the key in our ignition? I have a suspicion that it has something to do with the fact that we feel in control when driving vehicle that even if a drunk driver goes straight through a red light into the side of your car BECAUSE you were in control of your vehicle at the time and you can supposedly see and react to problems then everything will be ok. Also im sure being eaten has something to do with it, but realistically if you were eaten by a great white im sure that you probably wouldnt feel anything as it would be quite a quick death.Shark Attacks are tragic but how are they any more tragic than car accidents? if anything i think the fact that humans can do such stupid things like drink driving and speeding make car accidents more tragic then shark attacks, all a shark is doing is surviving. All were doing is being irresponsible and stupid?...anyway long post i know but i read through all 4 pages and it got me motivated.. thanks to those of you who took the time to read itit makes me laugh when idiots use chicken as crab bait, as quite often if im down at the jetty with nets next to theirs i will do ALOT better than them using fish heads or carp. I guess ignorance on their part in this case leads to less crabs on their table haha.

is there anywhere near west lakes that you can get worms? i had a mate tell me you could get them there dunno if hes talking shit or not

hey guys just after some advice on the soft plastic beach worms in the berkeley gulp range, ive looked on youtube and most of the people that seem to use these are the guys that chase bass in the lakes and dams of america these fish have huge mouths too, i bought some tubeworms a little while back to chase yellow fin whiting went to brighton jetty and got none while my friends around me using the same bait got 3.. the tube worm was shit it wouldnt stay on the hook and it was like complete mush, i kept it in the laundry overnight so maybe that was the problem but im just wondering if anyone has had experience chasing yellowfin whiting with the berkeley gulp beach/sand/blood/whatever other types of worm they make or any other fishing experience with them for that matter!

hey gave mine a go down at grange jetty, got 2 mullet i believe. never really get much fish off the jetty just go there for crabs but it seemed to work because i had bites all throughout the night i just couldnt seem to hook the fish, dunno why

yeah i saw the show its pretty much exactly the ame except for the lack of chili powder, haha yeah when you deep fry it you can eat most of the cartilage inside the crab but im not really a fan of it although its texture is kinda like potatoe chips after deep frying, ill just have to keep going fishing i guess haha keep trying it

my favourite crab recipe is to prepare the crabs and crack the claws and then dip the pieces into a mix of cornflour salt pepper some chilli powder chinese all spice and then to deep fry, im just struggling to find the right amount of time to deep fry the crab for ive heard that around 2 minutes is about right, does anyone know if this is correct?

how did the berley go? im gona use some crabs ive got in the shed, do you reccomend geting a bag of the shit in the shops and throwing that in aswell?
