  1. I’m a tigers fan too, since 2004 we are still here! Ihave hope for good this year, but I say that just about every year
  2. That’s some serious damage, I’d be questioning if I hooked onto the Loch Ness monster
  3. no mulloway will spool at 6k saragosa on 30lb. id go around 20lb and youll fit even more line on and if you get a quality thin braid youll squeeze even more line on
  4. I take everything, I got a large tackle box which fits perfectly in the space between the rear drawers and the side of the car. My 3 PCs 15ft sensor surf is perfect for travel and is a really good rod for beaches like Stockton which are quite turbulent and also casting out larger squid and 8oz lead. I’ve had no issues with Diawa rods outside of misuse on my behalf. One sensor surf I’ve had for 5 years now and looks like new. But I do take very good care of my rods. I don’t use lures of the beach but if I did I’d probably use a 9-10ft rod which is whippy. the penn prevail is more of a bait rod. I do recommend the saragosa over the stradic, it’s light and also sealed. On a recent trip near Forster I had a double hook up on mulloway and had the rod holder fold over in the soft sand so I had to stand on the butt off the rod to prevent the rod and reel sliding away while fighting the other fish. One fish was 86cm other was 91 with a pretty bad tangle. Abit of wash from a bottle and the reel was like new
  5. i took 3 beach rods, 2 7ft 1 pce terez rods & a light spinning down to south aus for 25 odd days and had no issues with space ontop of food, water, tackle etc
  6. Rods for both soaking baits and lures can be challenging as you want a fairly long rod to get the line above the breakers when soaking Bait but you also want a fairly short 10ft or so rod for the lures so it can be much lighter and easier to handle. my goto bait setups are Lighter surf for salmon, tailor is a sensor surf 13ft with a 8000 saragosa Heavier surf for mulloway, big rays and sharks is a sensor surf 16ft with a 10000 saragosa both rods work well off Stockton and other high energy beaches where the water can be quite turbulent and a lot of sweep the light surf has 14lb main line with 20lb leader and the heavy surf has 30lb main, 30lb or 40lb leader. I also have a penn prevail 12 and 13ft but much prefer the sensor surf. You can easily cast out much heavier baits, the rods 10x lighter, good action and a very long butt which makes casting a breeze. I only use the penn prevail in areas where I don’t need to cast far or as a loan rod to mates.
  7. Although I haven't had any issues with curl grubs in the lawn, i grow a solid amount of natives and get the odd one or two, but the natives which prefer richer, moist soils there would be 15-20 of them they, seem to like rich, moist soils. My current war is trying to convince a neighbour to erase the weed asparagus they have growing everywhere so it dosnt spread like a fire into our yard,
  8. I think it’s just another fishing marketing scam, squid are mostly a sight hunter and don’t have that great of a sense of smell.
  9. Well I guess on a positive note you’ll have a fish raider record for the biggest blue ring caught.
  10. What a crazy story and lucky stars that aligned to land your fish but also someone else’s. Amazing.
  11. Surprised a ryobi tools lasted 6 years. It’s had a very good life
  12. could search for reports to like "stockton beach" or beach jewfish and have a read on previous reports
  13. nice bag as always mate, good job!
  14. ive stuck my head out on the protected side of jibbon and do pretty good on calis around there but yet to venture on the northen headlands yet
