  1. Hi Matt, That style works for me. Try putting four self tappers at each corner of an imaginary square around the hole. The square should be just smaller than a slice of bread. The idea is that the screws hold a slide of bread in place under the hole. Rip a small hole in the bread. You can even use rubber bands stretch between the screws to help secure the bread. Hope this makes sense. ...mal
  2. I have just started replacing the trebles on my slices with Owner S-75M single hooks (size 1 or 2) and have not noticed any significant difference in hook up rates - at least not on the bonito. The single hooks certainly help with the catch and release. ...mal
  3. yozumi gastronomic pintails on light jighead ...malcolm
  4. I always keep an eye on Justin Duggan's website. If Justin isn't getting kings in Pittwater it is a pretty safe bet no one else is either. he also has a almost real time photo feed which is worth watching. ...mal
  5. I am sure Freddy's Fishing World at Broadmeadow will be able to service it for you. ...mal
  6. The haven was full of leadies this morning. 10 frigates and 6 bonito between two of us in a couple of hours. Fun fishing on light gear. ...mal
  7. It looks a little like an ALICE frame. ALICE = All purpose, Light weight, Individual, Carry Equipment. It is essentially a mix n match way of creating a pack that suits you. Check out Soldier 2 Soldier. ...mal
  8. I fished the haven a couple of mornings in the past week. No sign of frigates (yet) only a couple of bonito. ...mal
  9. Great. What size did you end up with?
  10. Hi Leo, Was just wondering if you have had a chance to give the Salt a good going over and if so what you think? ...mal
  11. For the record it was only 20 grams. ...mal
  12. Unfortunately, I have to admit that I was the one responsible for hooking the sergeant baker and subsequently The Poacher's forehead. I am still feeling incredibly bad about the whole thing and will be forever sorry. To his credit, TP was amazingly calm and gracious (thanks mate) and very lucky it wasn't an inch or so lower. He showed incredible resilience and managed to keep going, boating another couple of fish. sorry, mal
  13. Without wanting to be a killjoy and it is probably to late now anyway but according to NSW fisheries regulations you are not permitted to retain any rocklobsters caught whilst line fishing. ...nice lobster but! Mal
  14. Don't have McDonald's for breakfast on the way to the boat ramp. I agree with the ginger suggestion and I also find licorice works too. ...mal
  15. Why wait till summer? Here is a pic of one I caught yesterday on the central coast on a berkley scum dog (bitza). I would imagine that the lagoons on the northern beaches and the flats around pittwater would produce too. Whiting off the surface are great fun if you fish light. ...mal
  16. If you happen to be travelling through Singapore (or know anyone that is), Sabre Tackle on Beach Road stock a complete range of Smoooooth Drag washers for about 9.5 SGD (about $7 AUD). ...mal
  17. I had heard the stories but good to see the pics. Nice fish. I take it you are happy with the new reel. ...mal
  18. I have been using a soft plastic Izumi pintails on a light jig head with success lately. Have found both frigates and watsons hit them hard when they are not taking metal lures. Mal

    Dam Frigates

    Frigate are great fun on light gear. I have been having some good success over the last month or so using the new iZumi Pintail SPs rigged on a light jig head. Have been out catching the guys flicking metals. Have also managed a couple of nice bream on them from my local lagoon. http://www.tackletester.com/2011/02/izumi-pin-tail-more-than-meets-the-eye/ btw...will be up at Forster over the Easter long weekend and it would be great if someone were to recommend some good spots for surface fishing. cheers, Mal
