richard check out swap and sell theres one in there now have a chat to the seller you might be able to work something out mick

the tierra's arnt much cheaper than the sol"s man but they are a graet reel. if you got a budget of $150 the best thing to do would be to contact go fish and see what they can do for you they will have something to fit your budget for sure mick

might have a spot for saturday thats if i get my boat back intime just dropped it off to get some work done to it if your interested shoot me a pm if not ill walk the banks so if you need a lift up and back on saturday buzz me mick

thumper well done mick

both of my 2 pumps are old as and still going good full salt water use be interesting to see how long they are suppose to last for mick

have to agree with ray albright knot just keep practicing it when tied properly will never let you down mick

alot of the new blades these days are coming out with the double hook insted of trebles my opinion is get rid of them befor you use them replace them with owner trebles and a small split ring this has happened to me the first time i used a blade with the double hook set up the hooks pulled appart straightned and nearly pulled through i spoke to the guys at my local tackle shop and they said alot of people are saying the same thing so hopefully it will be changed to trebles soon mick

try a stinger hook on your plastics youll be suprised not allways little fish that take the tail basically put your plastic on the jig as normal get a short length of 4-6 lbs fluro leader tie it to the actual hook with a albright knot or something that will hold tight use a small trebble get the length near the end of the plastic and once again tie it off insert one of the treble hooks into the plastic leaving 2 exposed this should improve your hook up rate try a few different plastic and watch their action as it will affect some of them and thats wat you dont want but others will be fine

dicko is spot on if its fluro straight through no leader is needed if its braid a leader is a must ill use fluro straight through when fishing very clear water 2lbs mick

dont panic man can be repaired

well done on the result mate awsome stuff mick

get a transom mount one man clamp straight on the back tiler steer or if you got a alloy boat get a mounting plate welded on up front and get a bow mount mick

i was wondering why i couldnt pick it up last weekend

i use normal mono line when uesing poppers it seems to float better than flurocarbon mick

happy birthday stewy hope its a great one for you mick

go the custom job man but be aware very $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ mick

nice bendy boat ramp hey lookn good up there wait for it to get abit colder and they'll come on mick

its always the way roberta when your out to target a certain species they go into hiding and you get everything else some nice bream there but you gotta be happy with that mick

cameron and i braved the weather started off flicking some plastics around some markers for kings with no luck moved on to chasingn bream and lizards and picked up a cpl of nice fish 2 lizards around the 450 mark and a cpl of bream up to 360 (fork) so appart from being blown to tazzie was a good day cameron also scored his first on plastics to so some good did come out of the day thanks for the company man have to give it ago another day soon hopefully better weather mick

good luck to all fishing tomorrow hope to see a raider come up with the goods see ya in the morning cameron mick

man i got a 435 hornet trophy side console great all weather boat just keep your rain coat in one ot the hatchs if you end up with something like that i wouldnt put a bimni on it especially if you intend on flicking lures all day long they just get in the way mick

throw them straight into a salt water ice slurry clean them as soon as you get off the boat in some cases you will need to bleed your fish straight away just cut their throat over the side of the boat better off then into the slurry mick

awsome stuff mate well done i still havnt got my first mick

welcome mate youll find everything you need here plus more if youv just started your journey with lures/sp's good luck cause its gonna be a long one highly addictive give em a bash in the salt bream luv em mick

my opinion is dont just put a tip on it, to get the rod working properly you should have lets say the top 5 eyes removed and put back on in a lower position to wat they are now, they should be spaced evenly so you get a nice arch in the rod if you just throw a tip on it the top 2 eyes will be to close iv tried it both ways and trust me it works better with the eyey moved mick take it to a tackle shop to get it done tips are easy to do your self but the other eyes bit more difficult try a site sponsor thell help ya out
