  1. Nixe

    Nixe, n.; fem. Nixe. [G. Cf. 1st Nick.] (Teut. Myth.) One of a class of water spirits, commonly described as of a mischievous disposition.

  2. A FISHERMAN has been swept off rocks to his death near a Sydney beach, police say.

    The man was fishing near Mahon Pool, 500m north of Maroubra Beach in the city's south-east, around 2.30pm (AEST) today when he was swept into the ocean, police said.

    Passers-by raised the alarm after spotting the man face down in the water.

    Local lifesavers on jet skis attempted to retrieve him but were unsuccessful due to rough conditions.

    The man's body was eventually winched from the water by helicopter.

    Police are now trying to identify him.

    Anyone with information was urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

    Police will prepare a report for the coroner.

  3. Has anyone had any experience with Angler Pacific? The Adavantage range?

    ADVANTAGE - MT4144-MM Lite Surf - Spinning Model 3.65m (12'0")

    sounds exactly like what im looking for :thumbup:

  4. I guess I should of added, I will be using a threadline reel for this rod. Price is not a problem at this stage.

  5. I am probaly wrong, but here is my two cents,

    7 girls x 2 legs = 14 girls legs

    7 cats x 7 bags = ** cats

    ** cats x 4legs = *** cats legs

    ** cats x 7 kittens = *** kittens

    *** x 4 legs = **** kitten legs

    1582 legs providing they are all on the bus with no driver and an no person is missing a leg or legs

    1584 with a driver

    210 legs if they kittens are not on the bus, +2 if there is a driver..

    i hope one of those 3 are right..haha, I use to be good at maths, feel a bit rusty now :thumbdown:

  6. Hello Fishraiders,

    I am in the process of purchasing a 4144(with double expoxy guides I believe they are called), to a suit a 4500 sized reel. Would anyone be able to recommend a good brand, and possibly model(FSU, MT, etc. ) I am hoping to chase down some bream/whiting from the beach.

    Any suggestions would be dearly appreciated.

    Cheers

  7. Hello,

    I recently bought a "Shimano Baitrunner 4500B" reel, I am putting this on a "Shakespere Super Salmon Light, Low mount" rod. I am hoping to target tailor/flathead maybe a kingfish if I am lucky.

    I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of the correct tackle and rigs to use, not to mention bait..

    I know I am basically asking everything, but I have not done alot of fishing in the past, a little bit with my grandfather who has now passed. I've recently located to the coast and am keen to take to the next level..

    If anyone could be so kind in steering some helpful information/tips this way, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers

  8. This would be interesting to catch.. :1fishing1:

    Fish Swallows Four Times Bigger Prey Fish! - A record for the black swallower

    By: Stefan Anitei, Science Editor

    Logic will always sustain that big fish eat small fish. But what a fisherman from Grand Cayman has found could be a world record contradicting the ‘rule’. "

    McPherson ‘Dorson’ Wright was fishing at about 1,400 feet (570 m) off the South Coast of Grand Cayman, when he observed an object floating on the sea surface. He approached to see what that was and what found a dead fish that left him and scientists open-mouthed: the fish had in its belly a much larger fish than itself. When the prey was measured, scientists found that the species was a ‘snake mackerel’ four times longer than its predator.

    When I first saw it I really couldn’t believe my eyes. It had obviously just died, so I decided I had to put it in the boat and take it down to the Department of the Environment to investigate it further.", said Wright.

    Marine Scientist Phillippe Bush took some photos which he sent to the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute in US. Tracey Sutton established that the predator was a Black Swallower (Chiasmodon niger), a fish that normally lives in waters below 750 m (2,300 ft) down to 2,745 m (8,250 ft). This fish, an abyssal species hard to study, is known to feed on whole fish, often longer than itself; still, this here is a record. "This is amazing! I have seen this fish with big prey before but yours takes the cake. It would surely rank as one of the largest, if not the largest, rations known among all fishes (relative to their own weight). The finding would be written up in a scientific paper," wrote Sutton.

    The scientists are puzzled by how the Great Swallower not only ate the Snake Mackerel (Gempylus serpens), but managed to avoid becoming itself the meal of its prey. The Black Swallower was only 7.5 inches (19 cm) long (they do not bypass anyway 10 in (25 cm)), while its prey snake mackerel, a very aggressive predatory fish, measured 34 inches (85 cm)! (the species can reach a maximum of 100 cm (40 in). "I would hate to see what a three–foot–long Great Swallower is capable of eating.", Bush said.

  9. Hey mate,

    I'd be more than happy to come out for some beach fishing, although I have no done much of this before..

    Apparently there are some decent size jewies around.

    I've just moved to the coast, and currently I am my fishing buddy :)

    So if your interested in having some company on the beach, let me know
