  1. Is it legal to tow your trailer to get it registered? Or do you need a trailer for a trailer?
  2. Didnt luke nguyen catch squid somewhere? He full on fluked it too. Haha
  3. Thanks for the responses fellas. I already have a good rod for casting pilchards under corks. However my reasoning is to be able to throw out one unweighted without re rigging. Instead of buying another rod for casting more corks i want to get a suitable rod for the unweighted pillies. Right now with my current outfit, it does not cast well as it does not properly load up the rod, it being rated at 8-15kg. Casting out is not really effective and putting extra power in the cast usually sends the pillie flying off the hooks. I also salt my pillies, but really prefer only slightly salted ones. Thanks for the comment thus far. I am eyeing something in the nitro sniper 3-6kg rated rod 10'6. Any coments on this or otherwise?
  4. What should I look for in a rod for casting unweighted pillies. I will be casting them off rock platforms mostly. What sort of properties in a rod make this sort of style of fishing easier? Been casting bobby corks and pillies for years, thought i'd give this a try
  5. Sounds like a real top bloke. Someone everyone would get along with. Rest in peace mate.
  6. Ray. Heh, post a pic of a catch of something off the stones with this hardware!!
  7. Man I love these sorts of stories and news! Keep it up!!
  8. Roberta FTW and did the Win! whoho.

  9. Your name: Trungie Fishing technique: Land-based to target Carp Availability: Any days, just require notice to book flex time Preferred location: Upper Parramatta river Provide your own gear? Yes
  10. What sort of terminal tackle (hooks and leaders) should i use while targeting the Parramatta Carp? Do i just fold some bread over the hook? I am not familiar with the upper Parramatta river. Where should i work and what should i look for? Deep water? Structure? Shore? Jetties? Thanks.
  11. I am a very happy father, with a killer new outfit for bream, flathead & whiting - Nitro 007 Traveller 6'6" with a Daiwa TDR 2508 running 6lb braid. I have been told the TDR is the Sol but with CRBB and is cheaper! Got a mate's bucks coming up and we are hitting Sydney Harbour for half a day and I want to blood the gear. My question is, can you kind sir/madam give me some tips on what to do and what not to do fishing with this sort of gear off a boat? Any tips of terminal tackle or knots or even 'bring some heavier gear', is 6lb just ridiculous - should i get different line? If so what? Don't often get a chance to go boating in the harbour! All advise appreciated. I want to prepare well. (and i will try not to chuck it over the gunnel )
  12. Chuck it Juzzaa! Did u happen to catch them on an alvey? haha
  13. Where can I get a shirt and cap as show on their website? Sydney if possible. Thanks.
  14. Where can I find more info about this reel? The daiwa Australia website does not have anything about them. Can someone tell me where in the reel range they lie? How do they compare?
  15. Yo slinky, I know this may be a bit late, but I wanted to suggest the American made carrot stick. I held one and it was the lightest ever rod I've ever handled. Cheers mate.
  16. Bit late notice, but I'm up in terrigal this weekend. Can anyone suggest some land based spots? I got some prawning gear, some estuary gear and some beach/rock gear. Thanks.
  17. DUDE LOL, i went on a cruise last weekend and thought EXACTLY the same thing. I told the wife that and she didn't look impressed. Cice boat but, reminded me of the Saturday night fever song "I'm on a boat" haha. The bella vista it was. BL disturb3d sorry i couldnt go with ya. I say it was a massive tailor which killed your yellow tail.
  18. LOL Awesome. Everytime you offer your knowledge i go a bit crazy and start looking out house prices again in Forster!!! Dammit! Going to plan a holiday one day and head up there! Thanks!
  19. Thanks Paul, they close at 7pm i think, bit out of my way bit, as i'd have to go thru the city to get there, and that'll be bad at 5pm! Oh yeah, Chucky, i think he sells blood worms but not live beach worm. Same with the guy in Auburn on parramatta road. I've also found that the narrabeen bait store sells blood worms but not beach worms and close at 6pm. Any other beach worm outlets?
  20. I would like to suggest more suitable banner sizes for the mobile platform. Viewing it on a mobile device, renders the standard banners which are huge on a smaller screen. It's great that the forum has a better format for the mobile / iphone but the huge banners on these smaller devices make viewing quite difficult, not to mention longer rendering times and higher bandwidth requirements. Even turning them off might be a possibility for the mobile platform as most people would be wanting to check info quickly and would definately be regulars, who would then usually use the standard pc. Cheers.
  21. Hi, thinking of hitting the northern beaches after work. I find that by the time i drive there, the bait stores are well closed by then. Where can i get live beach worms in the Marrickville to Parramatta area? Or anywhere from there to the northern beaches?
  22. All night fishing, too hardcore for me dude. haha. Awesome.
  23. Happy bday GregL, i hope u catch a 37cm prawn today!
  24. Or you can use elasto tape which is available at your local chemist which is quite handy to have.
