Today went out to Bass point for a fish as the weather has really been nice lately. Really wanted to catch a bream or two. Had one rod out bottom bashing with whole piclhards but ended up with zero hook ups. I thought to myself hmmmm must be a squid thats taking those bites out of my pilchards. Threw out my lucky a green squid jig. on the second cast got him! boy this guy made my soft plastics rod work hard. ate it for lunch today. you beauty.

thats what I love about fishing!!!

Yes I agree! I love them raw!

Nice Recipe sounds mouth watering! I will definately try it out on my next Flatty for sure! Thanks kel Hopefully can hit the water again in two weeks.

It was a Great table fish! Just had it for dinner. Two big fillets, seasoned with salt & peper and coated in flour. Then pan fried. sqeeze a little bit of lemon on top and it was delicious!

hah! I was thinking if they had all five colors to match the power rangers. LOL!

Hi Hoges1974, Thanks for the reply, Yes I did manage to hook up 2 tailors. how did you cook the flathead? I was thinking of coating them in breadcrums and frying them. mmm... *stomach rumbles*

Original price is $320. But their selling them for 50% off. For the beach fishing lovers who want to look cooler than the sufers. Thinking of getting one next time im in Japan. Site: http://www.turi-para.com/tokka/tokka.html

Hi all, Went out today to Brighton. Arrived at 8:00am and started flicking softplastics around. Such a nice sunny warm day it was comfortable, light wind and calm waters. Felt like taking a nap on the sand. But i was not there for sleeping. I wanted to catch a flathead. Havent had much luck catching anything lately Havent been fishing for the last month. So i was desperate to fish. It was 11:45am when I decided that I was gonna catch nothing today. One last cast and thats it! im heading home. Until... ohh... what!? a nice size "fatty" came into the net. This guy probably wanted to go home with me too, so I gladly took him along.

I think it could be the Jimble. Saw one down near kissing point, nsw.

Hi Justin, I recommend you read the pinned post 'Best Ever Tips For Blackie Fishing' in "Fishing Chat" by Roberta.

Hi Mike! Thats awesome! I want one now! they look fun to use! found the price $1360 (is it worth it?)

Hello Fishraiders. I received this pic in an email from a friend and was wondering where can I get one of these speacially design fishing/leisure crafts. Please see attached picture. And if possible I would like one with GPS, Bait Tank, and several rod holders. Cheers

Nice Beach Report! I have never fished off the beach before but will be my first time this weekend. Excitment level up!

Awesome report! convinced me to go buy a couple. Never tried blades before.

Awesome catch there mate. Dont ya love soft plastics! its so fun!

pink dinga ling?

thats huge! awesome catch! Congrats on your PB

I use fluorocarbon trace when using lures such as SP's its invisible under water and more abrasion resistant than mono.

Hi Pafisho08, thanks for the tip. Its really fun fishing down at there. most of the time the water is calm and relaxing. great for a soft plastics day anytime.

Surprise that the Bonito's are still hanging around down there at Bass Point. As the waters are getting cold I guess they will be moving up north soon. Probably be the Last bonito I see caught for 2008. but due to global warming you never know how they will move. Awesome catch!

Yeah nice relaxing spot. I was out there for a good 2 hours. arrived 1 hour before high tide.

Should go to your local fish market and gaze at the fish, Check sizes, Prices, variety...

Hi Chris, little hard to explain but here goes, start of by hooking the worm through the mouth and then slowly push the body through the middle, feeding the body though up the hook. Now if its a long worm then you can keep pushing and feeding the worm pass the hook and then up the fishing line. You would like to leave the hook hanging out. The worm should look straight and natural. For a better hold you should use a bait holder long shank hook. You should gently cast you line out, not too hard or else the worm will just rip off due to the whipping action. now half of the worms I pumped were cut in half and most were 2~3 cm. With these I would hook them on like all you can eat style. Works great. Good luck!

Thanks, well to tell you the truth it was my first time pumping for worms. I bought a pump last Thursday and checked the tides and found that it was low tide in the early morning. Tip is best to do it when its low. and pump those areas where the little holes are (tiny volcanos). I got excellent results pumping in the water. I tried the reverse method by pumping air into them to make them squirt out, but had no luck. Its a lot of work to do but its worth it. Good luck. Hi SAfisho, I was fishing around here... Thank everyone for your comments. Cheers, Katsuo
