    Nice green eyed monster there bustoff.

    Did you end up using him for bait or was he for the table?

    Those Pilchards would of been handy. There was a gutter that run from the beach out to sea towards the breakwall last Friday but don't know if its still there.

    Freshwater Yabbies In Nsw

    Its apparently illegal to use opera house traps up and down the south coast because they reckon platypus get caught in the traps But you can use them in rural NSW but they have to be fitted with a 90mm metal ring but i found the best traps to use the days are those crab drop nets and atleast using these you wont get fined

    Blackfish Weed Whats Its Real Name And Where Do You Find It

    in Fishing Chat

    Posted

    "Gathering bait

    it is a cheap way of fishing when the bait you use is freely available along most rock platforms and ocean rock pools. It is also found in estuary systems and rivers but harder to find. There are 2 main types of weed, string/ribbon type and cabbage.string weed is most common in the river estuary systems but some ocean rock pools also have it. Cabbage type is easier to come by and is everywhere along the coastal rocks and beach headlands. When you harvest your weed be responsible and take only whats needed and if there is enough get some for burly..the weed generally dies off a lot through the colder winter months. It is best not to squeeze the water out but let excess water drain but if in a hurry a gentle squeeze is ok.lay weed in newspaperor hessian bag and fold / roll up and put in bag.you can keep it in bottom of the fridge for up to a week but fresh is always best."

    Hey,

    Thanks for the info mate

    Beach Combo For Under 300

    in Tackle Talk

    Posted

    Mate go and get yourself one of those Silstar Muscle Tip 10' rods in 2-4 or 3-5kg

    match it with a nice Daiwa, Shimano or Penn in 3000 or 4000 series loaded with some 12 or 15lb braid you got a tight little outfit.

    You will definitely get some change from $300- if you shop smart.

    You can use the change on terminal tackle then to match the lighter option but has eneough grunt to pull the stumps on bigger predators when you want to.

    PS- I have recently bought some new Shakespear Reels (cannot remember exact model) in 2000 and 3000 models and I use the 3000 with a 11' home made cane rod that really should be a blackie stick and it ROCKS!!!! Spooled with 10lb braid and 12lb mono shock leader it casts really well with little weight yet its flexy eneough to flick out SP's on 1/16ox jig heads and give them some real "action".

    Just my $0.02 worth.

    I was kinda looking at the daiwa sea jigger range the 10'3 rod but was having trouble trying to match up a reel to keep me under the 300 dollar mark and thanks didnt even think about looking at a silstar rod
