Bombo Headland is probably one of the most dangerous rock platforms around except when its extremely flat. The Boneyard fishes well especially after a big Southerly blow. Cathedral Rocks will produce good snapper but again it needs to be very flat to fish there and you need fresh squid for bait

Hard tom follow that logic. Most people I know use a hi speed reel for jigging. Helps getting the jig through the water column faster. Biomasters are great reels so are Stradics. Its not that one is better than the other A Daiwa BG2016 5000 is probably better than both of them for about 1/3 the price, or a Penn Clash for the same money is a far better Jigging reel than either of the Shimano's

How big is a boat before it becomes too hard to handle by yourself
Crossfire63 replied to mob0103's topic in Boating
Thats pretty much it. I used to handle a Flightcraft 5.45 SF by myself. No Problems Mates of mine Nth of Coffs beach launch and retrieve 6m cats single handed -
No such thing. They feed in any depth
-
Dave Just keep it moving slowly. One thing though Id chuck the treble and just run single hooks. You'll get more hookup and its better for the fish if your releasing them

I hope they throw the low bar stewards in the tin until they give up the location of the buggy

Wilson Heritage series 12' 1 piece info needed
Crossfire63 replied to Sea Ranger's topic in Tackle Talk
Chris Somewhere on the butt should be a description of the blank Being a Wilson rod it will in all likely hood be either a Butterfield or Kilwell blank and should either be a FSU or MT code followed by 4 digits. The first of which will tell you the number of wraps on the rod. Then we can work out what its good for Corb -
James We use Yakka's as live bait of the beach for Jew fish using sliders when we can get them. Yes they do work especially the larger one, but mullet and slimey mackeral make better Jewie baits if you can get them. Corb

Use a breaker bar....You'll strip the ratchet trying to pull a boat with it

Juvenile spangled emperor. Not that unusual. Seen the adult of the species caught as far south as Narooma

I've seen a bloke catching flat head and whiting off the sand flats near Cronulla Ferry Wharf on a fly rod. A couple of blokes yelled out to him that there wasn't any trout in the bay and he responded by pulling two flathead out of his shoulder bag and yelling "they told me these were trout"

Never had a problem using Jinko

A good soak in Corrosion X will get most things loose
-
You can give it a go, I don't think it will work and your live bait will just swim back at you. The design of a slider is to stop that from happening. And if gravity will prevent the bait from swimming back wouldn't that mean that all fish would be stuck to the bottom
-
And what stops the bait from swimming back up the line towards you?

Mate Despite claims by the manufacturer, the Saragosa isn't fully sealed and will allow the ingress of saltwater. A Penn SSV is better sealed against salt water than a Saragosa but is much heavier. The SSV also has a stronger drag. Any reel will last a long time if you look after it. My Penn SS is over 30years old, copped an absolute flogging on beached with big fish and still runs like a swiss watch.

Think I'd be staying at home

There bad enough when they trow the hooks and start flying around the boat (Speaking from experience) let alone in a yak.

Hi there. Both reels you've mentioned are more than suitable for what you want to do, In fact They're probably a bit of an overkill. I would suggest you look at a Finnor Lethal 100 or a Pfleuger Salt II 80 or 70. These reels will serve you just as well as the others at less than half the price.

I generally use 5, 6 or 8oz Gemini or Namix Breakout Sinkers depending on the surf conditions. I use Black Magic KL6/0 hooks or Mustad Big Red 7/0 and setting the hook generally isn't a problem.
-
Slow rods are ideal for squid fishing as you'll get better hookups and pull less jigs out of lightly caught squid
-
Hi There No I don't. I normally put a brass ring about 3 or 4 feet back from the sinker. Fish will strike at the bait wherever they come across it. I've had Jewfish take them 10 m off the beach and had to crank 100yds of line back in before I could start to bring the fish in as he's just going to go where he likes until you get the slider down to the brass ring. That's where a 6:1 retrieve comes in handy.

Works fine for me off the rocks and off the beach
-
Hi Brett Never seen it used as a stink bag for catching beach worms. I've used it as a berley bomb off a boat and it does work Corb
-
Yep that would be why I missed it. Just got home after having every fish we caught pinched by a seal.
