i tied braid straight to a swivel thinking itll be right but no im never taking a risk again!
Palomar knot
-
Top stuff!
-
Yep, everywhere on the coast at the moment. They were in at Ettalong the last few days, up the channel... Leadies with sandy toes is always fun
-
They move around in schools, so don't expect them to be around all day every day. 10-20g metals will do it.
-
Yet some old Bream fisho's swear by drowning bait in WD40... It's petroleum based
-
Stay persistent at Wambi

Don't unwrap the gaff until you you have a fish at your feet. Then don't touch it until you have the next fish at your feet.
-
Loyalty is only as deep as your pockets. Australia get's touched up price-wise for fishing gear and has been for a long time. If everyone started buying OS, maybe it would force retailers to get real about their pricing.
I could name a few places, but it could possibly be against forum rules re: site sponsors, so I'll wait for the OK from a moderator first.

Just remember that the Terez rods are designed for braid, so they seem a little soft, as if they have no backbone. Depending on how you pop and what poppers you use, you might not be able to get the right action to the popper via that rod.

$50 and you can fish Avoca, where the only thing bigger than the fish, are the stories.
-
Been there, done that. Still too much work for the average result. Easier just catching better tasting fish
-
Now thats a Tuna!!!!! how many families would you feed with that!!!!!

None, You'd mount it.
-
many problems with that vid....
1. See how frayed the cord was? You'd be better using a tea towel.
2. No response from operators, except a brief "oh s***" when they realised.
3. No safety boat/team in the water.
4. No netting/catch guard down stream - which leads to rocky rapids! (feet tied up too - She got lucky more than once)
Was it really in Oz or was it an aussie tourist overseas? With Australia beeing such a nanny-state, I don't see how they'd be able to operate like that.
Scary stuff all over.
Edit - Just went to uteyoob and saw the news story, was in Zambia - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJUk_4stXis&feature=related

The best way to ind success with lures is to ONLY take lures and work them, covering as much ground as you can. Soft plastics are the best and easiest to start with. Grab one of starlo's squidgie DVDs and listen to what he says about theem, then vary your technique from there. The DVD's come free with magazines sometimes....

They won't kill you. Squid eyes are tasty too.
-
Ah very good. I was having a flick an hour ago and thought I should check the dates for this year. Thanks for the post!
-
I'd like to see maximum limits set to keep the breeders breeding. Upping the minimum size doesn't achieve as much as it could.
End of the day, it doesn't really matter, there's not enough fisheries officers to police changes anyway
-
Definately will have more reports to come!
I havnt seen a bonito that big yet. I guess you guys catch the big fishes!
catch all the bonitos and you dont have to worry about them anymore!
Yep, catch all the integral baitfish. Great idea
-
There's been bugger all on the coast recently. You're not doing anything wrong.
-
Is there really any point? A squid jig is not a lure with squid prongs on it. Squid jigs are designed to entice cephalopods using their shape, colours, texture, suspension and movement to mimic the food that they would attack. A minnow lure wouldn't be as enticing to a squid as a squid jig. I'm not saying it won't happen, but it's a lot less likely.
Use the correct tools for the job to maximise your results.
-
Damn seals.
Awesome shots though, just another one of the amazing things you see when fishing!!
-
Get these -
I use them on my kayak and they're great. Come with 2 different mount plates and a rail plate, and are fully removable. Berkely model number QSRH (1056140). $20-$30 from a boating, fishing, camping place or google it and you'll find them.
-
^ agreed.
I've caught them on bibs, metals, waxwings, and once on fly, but they were all by-catch. When I go squidding, I only take jigs....
-
Bonnies are always big, there's just no plagues of little lollipops so far this year. I've only had them from 60-80cm this season, with only 1 under 40cm.
Bit bloody annoying actually, because they're hitting baits and poppers for kings, but they're too big to sned out live for big kings and stickface.
