not a great deal of air footage but after freezing shot it has fixed pectorals..little black..rick..congrats
-
what type of reel is it make..model..i have heaps of spools I may have one that fits..rick
-
a rail mount as far back as u can get would be ideal..if u mount it in front of the rail midships and fish with arm swung out at 90 deg will also work but remember to drive straight or only turn towards the rigger line or you risk running over your line..rick
-
glad u got it sorted mate happy boating...rick
-
good stuff neil..incredible how addictive them little green buggers are hey...rick
-
it all depends on where u fish and what u fish for...blackfish respond to burley well bream also..i burley on the beach when fishing for jew and nearly every one I get has burley in its gut..key factor is current or water movement of some kind to disperse the burley and make a "trail" for the fish to follow to your offerings on a hook..rick

ruxton or kelpfish..not sure on the pink one
-

listened to ccgf skeds today not many marlin a few sharks with one boat still fighting at 5.30...port stephens boats raised a few out wide but guys were complaining water was too hot wide of carpark and were heading in closer looking for cooler water..reports of 26.8/27.2 off the shelf...water is 23.5 up near big gibber so little blacks should be showing now..hope to go up wed/thur..tomorrows skeds should be interesting...ch 80 if your on the coast..rick

wow..the references to large snapper in lake mac with a school from the heads to pelican blows your mind..also schools of large mackerel in broken bay and Sydney harbor..maybe Spanish or spotties ??..also reference to plague proportion leatherjacket of the large yellow type...interesting reading to say the least..wow...rick
-
if im not wrong its a pike not a snook..there are two species locally long and short finned pike..thats a shortfin..rick

hi neil..yeah they are the fmj from tassie..cheap but effective..orange was goin off as well as green yellow..water had a bit more colour than normal...the surface luring was unbelievable..i caught three fish standing in the one spot..and missed multiple boofs..we have been told there are larger fish in the still water we fished but we didn't catch any this trip..hopefully next time..

the knot itself may be stronger but the line is still only 6lb...so wots the point when a good uni knot is about 97 % knot...if you use 50% drag your only pulling 3lb so therefore you should never break a knot...me thinks too much thinking...rick
-
just seen foto of 166kg blue weighed on xmas eve out of port..their out there..rick
-
on swivels and hooks I use either a locked half blood knot or a 4 turn uni knot..never have failures with either..rick
-
a small tip that I use is short ;5/6mm of plastic tube that is used in fly screens and run a piece between sinkers and swivels and the float and swivel..i also use tube with running sinkers to a swivel as lead sinkers hitting your knot will wear it and cause breakage..the tube stops this...rick

just bought a pair of talisman sandals..copy of kaydees..on ebay size 10 ....freaky after just discussing them and trying to find them on my dumbputer a pair popped up on fleabay of all places...rick
-
some of my spots I fish 14ft deep so a running rig is necessary..i use a small bead above my float and use two small lengths of nylon tied on as stopper knots..you can slide one easily but the two together are very hard to move.just wet them and slide one at a time
-
yeah I cant find any info but it flows into the colo so it might be a search trip when the seas are too big,,rick
-
only the first for the season ..ive caught hundreds over a lot of years chasin them..they still thrill me watchin them smack surface lures or grabbing a hb at your rod tip...rick
-
we use one in the boat all the time..a small high sided wok and snags an bacon are the go...rick
