[Gummies & Flathead]

Thanks for the info mate. Im hungry now...

[Gummies & Flathead]

Well done mate. I will keep that in mind 'one last cast' which normally turn out another 30 minutes fishing for me. Haha...by the way, how do u prepare and cook the gummy? I tried one before but the ammonia smell ruined the taste. I bleed it straight away after i caught it around noon time off the boat and cooked it that night. Any suggestion to get rid of the ammonia smell?

[Gunnamatta Bay]

Long shank, size 2.

A nipper fits along the long shank. If they fall down the hook, which sometimes happens, a half hitch of the line around the nipper's tail will keep them upright and not bunched up.

Thanks for the info. Cheers mate.

[Gunnamatta Bay]

Wow..good fish yowie. Do u use circle or long shank hooks for drifting?

[Sydney Harbour 23/11/15]

Well done mate. Upgrade your reel. Then post another report with big hoodlum.

[The stars align]

Thanks mate. Im looking around for a decent headlights now. The cheapie wont last long as u mentioned.

[The stars align]

Good catch. Best eating fish u got there. By the way what brand and model is your headlights?

[Rod for Kingfish]

Get a longer rod for off the wharf or off the rocks mate. At least 11' long in my personal experience. 7' long the kings will easily cut u off the pylons. Just my 2 cents.

[Best knot for 60lb flurocarbon to terminal]

Just use the UNI KNOT and you wont have any troubles.................simple

+1. 3 turns is more than enough. Not sure about 1m king. Haven't caught that big yet but up to 90cms landbase no problem mate.

[Can fish be put off by lubricating oil?]

Yes it does, some fish are very finicky when it comes to strange smells. This also goes for petrol and cigarettes

+1. Landbase experience. Not too sure from boat.

[salmon as snapper bait]

Thanks all for the reply and boosting my confidence Might go for a session this weekend weather permitting off the boat. Cheers guy.

[Snapper fisherman need help.]

I get my best snapper on plastics or big floating baits. I prefer Garfish but if cant get them I buy whiting. 2-3kg reds will scoff a whole sand whiting easy. My reasoning is that the pickers tend to sniff out the oily fish like pilchards quicker before the reds find them. Depending on current I will have one large bait on a pair of snelled 6/0-8/0 hooks with a small ball sinker rarely bigger than a 5 cent piece running right down onto the bait even in 40-60 mt of water and often get bites mid water. I then work plastics deeper and have started playing with metal jigs like the bottomship to get right to the bottom. Cover the water layers and when you find them concentrate on that depth. They aren't always right on the bottom.

Hi,

If fishing in 20m of water, do u use the same setup or u use running rig at the bottom for big bait?

Cheers,

Salmon

Hi All,

Has anyone ever use salmon fillets or chunk for snapper fishing land base or boat? It seem salmon season is on now and thought of converting them into some legal or even better mega snapper

Cheers,

Salmon

[Drummer!]

Some good size there mate. Well done. What bait did the damage? Peeled prawns?

[PB squid]

Happened to me three weeks ago. First cast in the morning n my line is almost all gone. Too many inconsiderate people nowadays. Haih...we already do it tough landbase.

[SHIMANO SARAGOSA SW REELS]

Bought saragosa sw 10000 a couple months back. His biggest victim so far 83cms king and few under 80cms jews. No problem at all. Need to hook bigger specimens to really test it.
