if you listen to the interview after the clip.... they get bigger!

me too! where did you get it?

Sorry mate, I disagree, lifejackets will do more harm than good. In cars I see the logic of seatbelts, lifejacket on rocks. NO, that does not work for me! We will see more dead people!

lifejackets will not replace common sense! how simple does "if you cant swim, stay away from rock fishing sound?" My sincerest condolences to the families and the people left behind on what will be a very sad day... but sometimes we DO have to accept responsibility for our actions and unfortunately I don't believe forcing fishermen to wear lifejackets will save for lives, it may even cause more deaths as they "promote an even greater sense of security" and will lead to more danger and risk taking... then the battering on rocks that you cannot get away from. We have fire bans on certain days, why don't we just have rock fishing bans on certain days based on safety criteria or swell size??

thats one monster cast! Well Done!

I would put myself in the 100M bracket, maybe a little over but when it comes to distance there are always better casters,there are a lot of variables, weight of line, type of reel, Rod etc. If you go to youtube you will see swing casters and even world championships, those guys can swing a piece of led around 300M, typically it is with very low weights, a pilchard weighs about 60 grams and a lot of the distant caserss all talk about a 40 - 60 gram weight... so after a "flick" or a "whip" like that what is left of the bait once it hits the water? a small sinker and a prawn maybe... but then how much effect the small sinker has in a ocean current remains the question but I suppose it would depend on what you are after. check out this link for an idea on what I am talking about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvGWfMHNzNE&NR=1 Enjoy!

Guys, With winter knocking on our door if I was to go our the Pittwater and troll towards the harbour... what species should I target. a lot of posts refer to the warmer water and what species come in with each degree but what about when the water cooles down? Also do chances improve the further out we go or should we not bother closer in and head straight for the shelf? Would welcome any hints / tips/ advice? Thanks
