thanks, would it be a good idea when you get a bit further out to ditch the life jacket and swim the rest with out it?

diffinately agree with you there. you can always get more gear but you can't get another life thanks for the help, ill go to a specialized boating shop to try and get one

Should I tie my rods to the rock with a rope like I do on the peir?

would 15 lbs mono be able to stop a king or when a longtail dives at the last little bit? i would have thought thats to light for things like that, sure drummer ect but yeah.

thanks, i won't use a harness then and ill get some of those cleats. can you recommended a brand of life jacket to get. but if i have like 800 yards of line on the big reel surely its enough? Or even the 500m on the slammer or the spinfisher with its approx, 500 braid and mono? what part from a shark won't be stopped by those?

nice, ill definitely go for the lighter setup and give it a go. thanks

thanks, I was mostly after safety advise anyways. the heavy setup was because it was in my budget and allows me to target a bit of a bigger variety. its a slammer 10500 btw, could I use it for slide baiting? could you advise on a life jacket? like what brand and type. I was planning on asking if anyone would be able to go with me just so that i could learn off them but thanks for the guide suggestion, ill look into it. Yeah, the places I planned on going I checked google maps and made an escape plan if I were to fall in. Would a sheltered cove by an alright place? what about using heavier braid instead of mono? try to get a little more abrasion resistance. Or should I just go with 20 lbs mono on a 6000. Also would you recommend using a small overhead for the line cap?

thanks, I have heard that rig if for kingfish and longtail, is that right? i really don't know about using the 150lbs line, like its got over 500m but it just seems kinda ridiculous. I just don't know, i have seen people on YT using slammers of the rocks and heaps of rock setups with slammers so I just guessed it would go alright. What if I were to tun the drag right down? would that be safer?

thanks very much for the advice, ill be sure to check the waves first. What were you targeting with the unweighted pillie?

also what rigs do you guys use and what leader?

Hey im interested to try rock fishing again. I have done it a few times with alright success. the gear Im planning to use is a: saltist pe8 with a pennslammer 3 10500 with 150 lbs braid spinfisher 950 ssm 60 lbs braid on a shimano aerowave 10-12 shimano tr200g with 20 lbs mono, may change if need with a 4-8 kg rod penn suqall 50 vsw with 15-24kg roller tip have a 8ft 5-10 kg which I can put the spinfisher on to, to have more options Im really not sure what I want to target, I have read others reports saying use overheads ect hence the variety id also like some tips for safety, i'm a strong swimmer (used to swim state times so swimming isn't an issue). I have been told not to use a gimbal and a harness by some people but others said in jervis bay you need them. Should I tie myself to a point on the rock? also I know about checking where the rocks are wet to see how far up the waves come but any help and suggestions would be much appreciated.

im in the same situation. I got a 2 peice saltist pe8

so what does this all mean for trapping rabbits ect? we still allowed to use the old style snares and traps or are they all out the window? Also where it says "no unessary pain" what does that mean for bleeding a fish?

Please correct me if i'm wrong but because the cork had been drilled out and the blank has been inserted into the cork, id have thought it would be strong enough, but pls feel ok to correct

I have posted some pictures below. thanks for the help

I just got this rod to pull down to a blank to practice on because if I break it, it was free anyway. I would like to eventually custom make a game rod so all the practice will be helpful.

I picked up a pretty beaten up rod from the side of the road. It was missing the butt and 1 guide. I have replaced the butt with a champange cork which worked well. How do I change the missing guide, I was going to get a fuji guide from ebay? Questions 1. how big should I get 2. do I need to buy special thread or can i use sewing thread? 3. Do I need to take the resin off and how? 4. can I put any resin over the thread around the new guide? 5. If i want to repaint the rod, how?

give it a bit of time, it take a little getting used and its frustrating but after that its very good

Still marinating, but the dog likes it LOL

i have seen them being used in nelson bay combined with bait. The youtube channel was stickyfishy fishing, one of his boat (snapper) episodes

the tld would work well. either the 10-15 or the 15-24 I have used both but I used a tld 30 A on the 15-24

I leave it on the shelf in the garage right side up with a plastic bag and I find gulp juice in small amounts in the bottom of the bag
