    Oops I seem to have cast my rod

    in Fishing Chat

    Ahh thats a better angle on the Daiwa......and it looks like a Millionaire.

    But yeah that one is probably a baitcaster....go test it :)

    Ohh and the little knob that feel off is probably it's drag setting knob *edit* It's actually the Cast Control Cap. The Drag is located on the handle, the brass coloured nut on your reels case.

    Also, i don't think the Shimano would be a suitable rod for the reel, probably pair better with your 2-4kg. unless you have a baitcaster rod in your collection.

    Hmm sounds like the 2 piece was not put together tight enough? Did it snap or did it just slip?

    When assembling a 2 piece push them together and then test with a little twist.....if it moves easily then you need to push down harder :D

    Your "baitcaster" looks suspiciously like an Overhead. That lever on the right of it is the free spool tensioner or drag lever which you use to control the decent of your rig. Don't think you actually cast that one...it's more a drop off the side of the boat.

    *EDIT* Just took a look at your collection, looks like both are overheads. Baitcaster usually have a thumb switch which allows you to release the spool to allow the rig to be casted, check your daiwa one and see if the thumb switch operates when you press it. Easy way is to have a light weight on the end, let it hang a few feet off the ground and press the switch.

    Wharf spots

    Chippo Lake - Can't eat from there i think

    Parra River wharfs (Meadowbank/Rhodes/Kissing Point) - Can't eat from there either.

    Hen and Chicken Bay - Can't eat from there either.

    Heck Sydney fishing west side of the bridge is bloody depressing :D

    Bait wise, Prawns, worms and chicket fillets.

    Since you travelled to Stanwell Beach you probably could also try Bundeena, the Hacking and Taren Point.

    Shimano sustain or stradic?

    The Sustain is the better reel, but i am a Stradic man and will always pick the Stradic......guess the sentimental factor kicks in there as the Stradic was the first expensive reel my old man got for me when i upgraded from the plastic 10 dollar kid setups.

    As long as it isnt crabs Im ok with that :D

    Thanks for the advice mate - Ive been doing a slow steady constant retrieve and they seem to love following but they just dont seem to commit (they were all undersized but they still count as a "caught fish" I guess hahahhahaha) They are pretty fearless though coming to within 1 metre of me before getting spooked.

    The water was so clear and flat this morning it was great seeing how my lures all worked even if I didnt catch anything again I guess :)

    Yeah the little ones have no sense of personal space!! When i am prawning they have the audacity to slap my rear end to get a feed of the prawns that get past me :D Prawning....another fishing activity that you might get yourself into as well as crabbing......can you see the dollars adding up? :P

    I'd say their bag limit! Watch this space lungfai!

    I'm expecting Prawns to post a report with a title "20 fish in 20 minutes" :P

    Im deadset happy to be your excuse! hahahahhaha

    I might even be able to bring a beer or two, and some good company for you I hope. You can keep all the fish even I dont mind! Im stoked to just get out there with a chance of landing somthing (my luck from tanilba shoreline has been terrible, I had half a dozen whiting chase my lure back to me on every single cast early this morning .....but you reckon I could land one of those? no way hahhahaha)

    Switch up your retrieval if you see them chasing but not taking, slow retrieve, stop start retrieve, flick retrieve etc.

    What do you get when you combine Scratchie and Prawns on a fishing trip?

    Pelican Itch? LOL

    Hill 60, no bonito but a fat squid.

    Yeah squid are that colour when they are alive, well they have a few shades of colour as they adapt to the environment, they go ghostly white when they die.

    Squid was lightly seasoned then quickly tossed around in the wok to seal the flavour and devoured before the steam was about to dissipate in the air :)

    Saw your post regarding squid jigs, squidin depends on the area, my spots are usually evening catches so a lure that glows makes a better attractant. Other places get squid in the early mornings and bright coloured lures are used.

    Squidin becomes expensive when you get into it :)

    If you are finding that whiting are giving you trouble try circle hooks, loosen the drag.

    The whiting down in windang have been preferring fresh prawns peeled and nippers this session.
