  1. I got a 50cm trevally on a hardbody lure near a bridge about a km or so up from the mouth.. it was about 15yrs ago though..
  2. I was at the shops on Thursday and got tickets and went again today and it was not there.. can we get the photos on here??. I live pretty close to the shop..
  3. don't know any inside but there are heaps just outside near box head
  4. I think windfinder is the best.. just choose the area you fish in and your set..
  5. we have the same motor and to start ours, I always lift the throttle all the way up then push the choke in as I turn the key and leave the choke in until it starts. works every time.. maybe your just not leaving the choke on for long enough..
  6. water is still very cold mate, you will be very lucky to find any for a while yet..
  7. hi mate, its a very quiet time of year on the beaches. your best bet would be to take some pilchards down to wamberal beach an hour before dark and try to catch a few salmon.. if you get a high tide around dark and find a nice deep gutter or hole and berley with some pilchards you will get something..
  8. look for weed beds champ
  9. it all depends on how young the kids are, but i have a 3 and a 5 year old and they cant get enough of collecting yabbies. its also a good idea if you can fish of the yabby bank. they can run around and get dirty and when you hook a fish get the kids to wind it in..but the most import part is FOOD, take heaps....
  10. you dont just have to use soft plastics for bream, give the hardbodys a go..
  11. have you checked your propellar? when you say that it travels ok at a walking pace but when you try to go faster, does it just rev louder and not go any quicker?? if so it could be your propellar bush has failed..and you need a new one.. ps. if it is your prop,the motor should rev fine out of the water. but when it is in the water the reristance on the prop causes it to fail..
  12. maybe try hookless lures closer to the comp??
  13. i have been fishing around wobby before and watched as a family put 3 traps in the main channel where their is loads of current and all of their traps instantly drifted down stream while they powered off in the opposite direction.(not saying that you did this )but it depends on how strond the current is..
  14. they have still been around in april the last few years..
  15. your after urethane champ, i have succesfully glued my pick-up bracket on to my aluminium boat. there is all sorts of urethane out there, the sika brand is the best.i fit windscreens for a living so i have an endless supply. lots of places sell it beias boating and also brunnings.. just rough up the surface a bit with sandpaper first and away you go..
  16. a small split shot crimped a few inches above a size 8-10 hook fished in a bread burley trail..
  17. if you only berley with bread it will help reduce the amount of crappy bycatch:1fishing1:
  18. we fluked some on the weekend and they were full of eggs but i dont know how long they spawn for, i was hoping you might know..
  19. hi butch, what depth were the snapper in and where they full of eggs??
  20. have a try in the haven at night, out the front of the scuba shop when the lights are on in the restraunt:1fishing1:
  21. theres worse things we could be spending our money on, just try not to think about it.
  22. its easy buddy just fillet the fish(trevally,yellowtail,bonito,tuna, slimys) use a piece of plywood or something underneath so you dont get juice seeping away get an old newspaper lay on wood add a layer of butchers salt about 5-10mm on paper place fish skin side down on paper add a layer of salt on top about10-20mm thick depending on thickness of fillet(more salt for thick fish) leave alone for 2-3 days or until you remember them.lol dust off salt and place in zip lock bags. now the fillets will last for over a year if you dont use them before that.. good luck, its real easy..cheers stevo..
  23. find a nice gutter ona beach and burley up with pieces of pilchand and fish with 4/0 gangs and a whole pilly and your in with a great chance..
