    Posted

    bonnies are generally pigs..most of my spinning on the rocks I don't use anything under 65 gram..raiders in 65/85 grm in yellow colours look like yakkas in the water..i used to make all my rock lures from brass strips either 1 '' or 3/4''inch by 1/4 inchbar..shape with grinder and sand smooth..some of my lures were 125 gram and work on Bluefin/cobia/Spanish/big tailer/bonnies....avoca and cape three points /Winnie bay.the bonnies normally cant refuse 65gr raider in yellow  or  blue...rick

    mate ive fished out of Swansea for over 40yrs an never seen a gummy with those spots ever   well done  I believe they are more prolific down south so maybe the cold water being sucked up the coast is bringing them...good to see some more reports from our area..rick

    start the motor on the hose and use a bit...no seriously..i would say hes over filled so you will just have to deal with it or undo fuel line at motor and drain some into drum..rick

    LINE COLOUR

    in Fishing Chat

    I use blue mono for bait fishing in ocean areas..brown line for fresh...if using fluro green or pink  use a couple of feet of clear leader...if you can see the line fish see it twice as easy.....don't use the bright lines straight to the hook  they are designed for trolling or spinning so you can see where your line is while fighting fish..if using braid always use a length of mono/ fluorocarbon trace...rick

    check that fuel comes out of carby drain..if not pull  fuel line off carby..if not coming out there your fuel pump membrane has probably blocked or broken..also check if yours has small filter before pump this may be blocked...rick
