  1. Hi Harold,

    When would the hairies end this year, Weird they started very early this year, I was usually catching them heaps around July and August.

    Cheers

    Ace, as soon as the water starts to warm up they go quiet. Last week it was 13.6 in JB so I reckon by the end of this month the water might be 15 or so and they may well be on the way out until next winter. Having said that I am no student of Hairtail and my wife tells me I am wrong all the time about everything on the planet so who knows!

  2. Thanks Sam but i think if we forget them again we don't deserve any help at all. My son is still abusing me for that. We might go out as my wife and son have been nagging me given the Hairies are coming to an end.

    When we left on Sunday morning i did wave to you 2 but you may not have noticed.

    Actually, as i think about it, not bringing warm clothing is up there with not having bait!!!!!

    Might see you out there. Our boat is called Eeyore.

  3. Hi harold

    I was there saturday night as well, I got heaps of bites throughout the night but I only managed to land one

    Hopefully you get some next time, just remember to bring the pillies

    Sam, it was really dumb that we forgot them. Where were you? There were only a couple of boats there and 1 left during the night. There was also a boat in line with Pinta Bay.

  4. We ventured out to JB yesterday afternoon and fished for absolutely nothing. Our catch of the night was a 20 cm Tailor that we sent back to the water gods. Water was a bit dirty and we had zero pilchards (we only found out once we were anchored) so tried some mullet we had in the freezer.

    Oh well there is always the next trip.

    Hope you did better than us.

  5. Welcome and keep the posts coming as we are all interested. Someone will gladly assist you with your question. If I could I would but I do not even know where Bare island is.

  6. Thank you Donna. I appreciate 'one armed' response. Jeremy will keep this reel and rod for a very long time. Having done a lot of research I am torn between the Ci4 and the Sustain. I know that Mr Scratchie knows his stuff pretty well so I will probably go with his recommendation. I am off to the shop tomorrow. Had 2 dental implants yesterday afternoon, what a fun exercise that has been.

    Stay safey everyone.

  7. Donna I was just thinking about this for some reason I can't explain. What about one of the national retail chains of fishing tackle and associated stuff. We all buy hooks, sinkers, rods, reels and lord knows what else. I would think certain companies would find us a very desirable place to advertise/sponsor. The franchisor/head office would have a marketing person or team and the cost would be negligible to them. The mere fact there are circa 25,000 Fishraiders would place them in good stead with their branch/franchise network.

    No names here but there are 4 big players in this game. They are all looking for an edge over each other.

    Another idea is what about one of the very big chains of hardware. No names again but there are 2 and they would do anything to out market each other.
