Ban this ban that what next there,s alot of things that should be banned before electric reels like longliners.
-
Thanks for thar advice much appreciated.
-
Does anybody know if you can use 10% ethanol in etecs without problems its looking like we wont have much choice in the future.
-
Thats proberly the last big mako you will see hanging from a gantry with garrets new laws.
-
I think they should be looking at were the decline in makos started and like always commercial over fishing.If they really want to help, get rid of some more commercial fisherman and while there at it get rid of beach nets as well which kill alot more than just sharks.
-
Any keen fisher person living around the wollongong area that are interested in game fishing reef fishing etc send me a email tunastrike1@hotmail.com only conditions must be able to back a boat trailer or could work on that and have own gear and doesent get sea sick and share cost of fuel bait etc

Proberly did the shark a favour 2 stainless hooks in the gut more than likely would have died a slow death I doubt the stomach acids would disolve stainless steel its a very tough metal. As for long liners what can you say they do alot of damage to the worlds oceans and I hope it does,nt go as far as its not worth going game fishing anymore because there,s nothing out there.

Hi mate this might help you a bit I have a electric reel and I bought my rod from america there,s a company on blah blah poop called gulfsupply and go to deep drop rods it cost about 350 bucks or so and has ball bearings and roller bearings in the top runner that can be greased if your carefull when you take appart but seems pretty good so far other game rods use a bush and there,s nothing wrong with that but bearings have less friction with continuous load.
But in all that I also own a reef king alvey and I dont use the electric reel much anymore found the alvey is great just as quick and alot cheaper and give,s a bit of exercise as well hope this helps.
-
Hi mate hope this might help a big alvey is a must I,ve tried game reels and its bloody hard going especially if there is a current or a bit of wind and you have to use really heavy wieghts and hook up on a big blueeye or something big its just to hard so alvey is the go with 150 pound braid and I have attached that to about 20 meters of 300 pound nylon trace and then attach that to the 400 pound tracees that I made up with 10 to 15 o circle hooks and like all fishing use fresh bait.
-
Making marine parks is crap if your got half a brain the problem is commercial fishing they are shocking what they do they dont care about anything except making monie get rid of them all and I don,t care if they cant make monie like they dont care if I catch a fish to eat long liners trawlers I hope they all go broke which they will come a time its not worth going out if it keeps going.
-
great photos of roos 2 males having a tussel by the look of it I do a bit of hunting when I get the chance only shoot vermin love roos.
-
I think its a little silly the bag limit on gems somtimes where I fish you cant get away from them so what are we sopposed to do throw them back dead bag limit should be increased.
-
Nice stripie Have to agree with the limit it,s crazy how the longliners are alowed to get away with what they are doing.

Does anybody know if marlin is ok to freeze I,ve only ever eaten a few steaks here and there and prefer to release them to fight another day because there a great sport fish and been told that if you freeze marlin its losses it eating quality and you might as well throw it away just would like to know if anybody has frozen marlin and eaten it what its like after freezing.
-
Went to kiama canyons on wedensday trolled lures and then live baits nothing there was no bait anywhere to be found thats not to say there are no marlin out there the last couple of weeks have been really good just not for me on that day other then that we droped baits down to the bottom and caught some nice blue eye and some big gemfish and a few other deep reef fish as well so nothing on the top try the bottom.

If the paint is 2pak on the boat now you can rub back with some 800wet and dry paper with water of coarse and spray 2pac onto it but if its acrylic you will have to use primer because they are different paints if the paint is old and flaking then proberly best to start from scratch with the sander with 320 on it and give it a good sand its a lot of work and then primer its up to you as for roller you can paint 2pac with anything once you mix the hardener with the paint it will go off but if you want a nice finish on your boat spraying is the only way to go hope this helps.

Going out tuesday around port but depends on what this southerly does might go wide or stay close heard there are some big kings around so see what happens.
-
We saw 1 of the sharks about 2ks of hill 60 while fishing the bottom we had a live bait out as well but it was heading north in a hurry and saw the other one while heading back into port once again heading north they were a bit far away to make out what sort of species they were and they were about 5 feet long.
-
Went out of port yesterday to the fad nothing but small dolies and then trolled live baits out about another 10ks from there and got one hit but could have been anything came back in and picked up a feed of reef fish in the deeper parts and did see a few sharks around but not really interested in them.
-
One hundred pound tailer, would,nt surprize me given enough time to grow there pretty aggressive eaters imagine what he would do to your lure,s.
Lets hope things keep improving.

Good one for letting the shark go hope it grows up big and culls some of those seals around port kembla they can be a real nuisance when fishing.
