I just bought some heat shrink grip for a blank i am building and was wondering if anyone has any tips or methods used in the process of putting it on I have not used or know of anyone to have used it before. Thank you.

Now its you making me jealous what about dobroyd royce is that alright in the soueaster 2m ish

Can anyone tell me what conditions are best for omh as far as swell wind/wave direction are concerned I am thinking of going but dont know much about it except for the location.

THAT BREAM IS HUUUGE WELL DONE MATE

What a beauty great report. I have a feeling there will be some lonely cold nights up ahead for me as well...

blackfish pigs tailor salmon

I best be careful then mate Went out again today took the as the swell was down a bit was only fishing for an hour I landed 5 and the missus landed 2 one that went 44cm Not bad for her first luderick session on the rocks. It took me many a go to land one that size. There seems to be blackfish everywhere at the moment that can only be good I guess.

Dont worry braidbuster i gotta disguise

Hi Peter, no it didnt were i was although there were a lot of people over on flat rock i go to a less popular part (if there is such a thing) and the people over the gap got O Hey Royce it must be getting close to holidays for you wouldnt it I must ring your dad can you p.m me. Cheers mate take care And where abouts are all the pictures of the trout ive been waiting for

late report but went to sth curly on sunday and got 6 blackfish and 1 pig pig went about 30cm biggest luderick was about 43cm smallest 38ish

far out there is some history there. personally I would only be looking at it from now on far to precious to risk.

I have a okuma eclipze baitrunner its a nice reel and very durable. for the price im very pleased with it. similar to the salina minus a few things. I have also used it on the rocks a bit and given it a hiding it goes great. Sure you can get a better shimano MUCH better but it does come with a price so it depends what you can afford in my opinion

Well there you go you learn something every day. I wonder why you cant pump there?? Anyway thanks heaps for the replys..

I live on the northern beaches and was wondering if anyone could help me out with some good spots to pump nippers I have been told bayview is good but was wanting to know of any other spots a bit closer to the manly area??

I will second that it would be very hard and inconvenient using one rod for both 4144 is a good rod for blackies or even a bf5144 if you can find one. I just got a 6156 for rock/ beach fishing but a 6144 or 7144 are all great blanks. Even if you want to use a spinning reel for both I would be looking at 2 rods.

Well done thats one big trev just about as big as the little angler great stuff

sounds good royce i will have to give you a call mate and sort it out anyway mate have fun

Hey Royce heres the bad news it was the top half that broke in a few places just about what you would say SHATTERED!!!!!! I damn near cried I will have to have a chat to you about what blank next.. Mate avon loves kilwell very happy together and they are putting up quiet a partnership together. speedia is a bit neglected as i havnt been out much and when i do its mainly the rocks (plus i think it was dissapointed with the loss of the bf5144) I must give your dad a call i have just been so busy he will put me back in line with these lost fish. Anyway the ham is waiting....

Sorry roberta i dont understand myself sometimes, When I opened the door the door broke it so it clean snapped in about 4 or 5 places I was sooo devastated i spent so long making it i even made sure every thread was perfect it will be hard for me to do that again. I went out again today with 3 hook ups got bitten off by one hungry fella pulled a hook on another and landed a nice little plump 37-39cm that i put back. Man with all this misfortune surely something really good must have to happen maybe i can feel one of those big hauls coming on havnt had one for a while

ohhhhhhhh Roberta I used my rod once in coffs harbour and left it in the room and it must have fell from the wall and in front of the door when i went out that night and when i came back to the hotel room Bang. I guess it wasnt meant to be. But I did catch a fish in the 20 min I got to fish in and it was beautiful very nice rod I will be looking for a similar blank as it was the best rod i think i have used, really sloppy but still had a bit of grunt. And that bigger one took me about 5 min to land the waves dissapeard and it was a fair way up to land them thats why i lost a couple .

Well finally got some time to fish been so busy at work last few weeks. Went down to south curly got 4 hook ups lost 2 really not happy about that but I will blame it on lack of practice recently. Anyway I was surprised to see how fat and healthy they are i saw all 4 fish as i lost the 2 lucky ones at my feet. The biggest was 44cm and fat the other would have gone about 35-38. Put the bigger one back as only need enough for me and the . Great to see some healthy fish. Oh and there was a huuuge school of salmon out a bit wider. I dont think the old avon would have reached em.

well done royce great to hear you got yourself a fish that isnt black for a change... i just got back from a 2 week vacation up the coast that was not a success at all. THE FU%*(N rain didnt stop, oh well at least i wasnt workin.

cheers roberta and cheap too.

so heres a couple of pics of where the break was. certainly not what i planned but oh well i have lost interest in doing a good job on the bindings now will dummy it up and use it as a 2nd now as the actions pretty dam good its got way more grunt in the butt.
