    Still full cred to anyone who is willing to travel 3 hours from Sydney to dangle a line- I hope the day presents the best of fishing exploits for you and your buddies.

    *** I do hope that my theory can be proven wrong in this instance, but lets wait for the report then shall we

    Cheers

    I drove from Sydney to Darwin to go fishing for 6 months, I also regulary drive to hat head for a fish, so driving a couple of hours up the road isn't really a huge distance for me. Maybe for you born and bred Sydney folk it is though...

    Trip Up North

    in Plan a Fishing Trip

    Posted

    Mate i did a trip last year to the Mary River and it consistently produces more wild metre barra's than any other system in the NT, however there is no pelagic offshore species, although there is a good chance at some big black jew. In my opinion though, the best options for a mixture of offshore and barra fishing would be either Weipa, Hitchinbrook and possibly the best of all and also probably the most expensive would be Arnhemland... Thats my thoughts anyway!

    Im actually leaving for a trip to weipa saturday morning, im flying to cairns getting in me mates car going to the tackle shop to buy a barra rod and lures, and then starting the adventure to weipa. after that driving all the way back to port mac, should be fun! Altough my mate that is up there says they are off the bite at the moment.

    Do u have enuf room under them mudguards?

    Remember u have to allow for suspension travel.

    There will be plenty of room, the larger rims will (need to) have lower profile tyres so the rolling diamater of the wheel stays the same or and inch larger

    CFD,

    Did you watch the last round of the '06 V8 supercars???

    Rick Kelly in the above pic posted and Craig Lowndes were nech to neck for championship points and Rick Kelly basically barged lowndes off the track which buggered lowndes's car giving Rick the points to take out the 06 championship over lowndes.....what dont you like? ahhh must be a Holden fan, shame on you, have we possibly started WW3 with the Ford and holden battle here??

    "Behind Lowndes Rick Kelly either braked too late or went for a gap that wasn't quite there and hit Lowndes, pushing him into the side of brother Todd, with both Todd Kelly and Craig Lowndes sent into a spin.

    Rick Kelly escaped unscathed, Todd managed to rejoin safely in 13th while Lowndes, broadside in the hairpin, was hit heavily in the front by Will Davison who was left with nowhere to go, badly damaging the steering on Lowndes' car, giving it several degrees of toe out. Lowndes completed the lap in 15th but was 23rd one lap later.

    For his part in the incident, Rick Kelly quickly received a drive-through penalty, dropping him to 30th and last place, but while his car was undamaged and still had speed, Lowndes continued to struggle and drift down the order, dropping to last after pitting on lap six.

    From there on it was a matter of continuing for both drivers, Kelly making slow but steady progress to finish 18th, while Lowndes pitted two more times for front tyres to finish four laps down in 29th."

    Fishing Terminology

    in Fishing Chat

    Posted

    :1welcomeani:

    Here is my list...hope its not too basic for you.

    Rat - Small King Fish

    Hoodlum - Large King fish

    Bull - large dolphin fish

    Soapie - small Jew fish

    Lizard - Flathead

    Croc - very large flathead

    chopper - tailor

    Mowie - Morwong, some people also call deep sea bream.

    Mono - standard fishing line

    Braid - Strong braided fishing line, no memory, thinner, stronger and more feel than mono but not as abrasive resistant.

    Livie - live smaller fish used to catch larger fish. usually put on a live bait rig with two hooks, one through the nose and one through the back and either trolled with a down rigger or suspended under a float or ballon.

    Bait caster - Overhead casting reel.

    Spinning reel - egg beater style reel.

    Jigging - using a jig style lure, drop it down to your desired depth and use a jigging action to bring it back to the surface (hopefully with a large fish on it)

    bomb - large sinker used for down rigging

    Down rigging - a winch style device attched to your boat, it has a large sinker on the bottom, it has a clip on it which attches to your fishing line. you use the device to keep your bait at your desired depth when trolling, when the fish grabs your bait and gets hooked, your fishing line becomes unclipped from the downrigger.

    Trolling - Driving along at a slow speed with lures or down riggers.

    Cheers

    Lures In General

    in Saltwater Fishing Chat

    Posted

    Hey mate,

    The main mistake first time lure users make is not targeting the fish properly and just sit there all day casting there lure out into the water version of a desert...First of all you need to find structure such as weed beds, sand banks, drop offs, trees hanging over the water, logs, jetty's etc. You need to know where the fish are before you start throwing lures other wise your wasting your time, then you have to choose the appropriate lure for the occasion for example if there is trees hanging over the water and you can hear cicada's everywhere you would choose to use a cicade bubble pop or something that resembles a cicada, notice and take in the enviroment around you before you choose the lure colour. Have a range of different depth, colours, swimming action and sized lures in your tackle box so you have always got something that suits the environment your fishing in. Another mistake is use a too agresive lure action, When your fishing the hardbodies make sure you let it rise for a few second between switches to allow the fish to have a crack at it, most bream ill be to timid to smash a lure flying through the water at speed, just a couple of gentle switches and let it rise...The ecogear SX40 lure packets have a pretty good explaination of the lure action you should be using. Casting technique is another big thing as well...make sure your landing that lure right on the snag, give it one or 2 gentle switches within 1 metre of the snag it where you will usually get hit.

    1. Select your species you wish to taget

    2. understand the envirnment your fishing in.

    3. figure out where the fish would be.

    4. select your lure

    my tips are for targetting bream/bass,

    cheers
