That is not only sand but also containing chopped weed and we call it burley to attract fish to come and bite out bait.
I just sent you a PM.
Thanks,

You must have punctured its gallbladder. It leaves yellow greenish colour and bitter taste, but still edible if cooked with a lot of spices like curry.

Hi Stormy,
Your homemade floats look nicer than the ones sold in tackle shops.
I think the carbon rods must be expensive and to get some rifle projectiles will not be easy.
I myself just use lead sinkers to balance the cork floats.
As bluebottle18 said organizing a workshop/DIY day is a great idea and count me in if you really want to do it.
I want to post some of my homemade blackfish floats here but I do not know how to do it, I could not find any insert or attach sign.
They work well and make me get more addicted to blackfishing.
Hi Stormy,
It is nice to see blackfish start biting. That was a good catch.
Btw, I make my own blackfish floats as well. I use wine cork, plastic tube and lead sinker glued.
Do you mind showing me a picture of your homemade floats?
Thanks,
Andy
I was trying to catch Bream or Tarwhine on prawn using running sinker rig for almost an hour this morning with no result; So I changed my target to Blackfish using float and I caught 3 decent blackfish on prawn within around 20 minutes. The last cast was taken by a drummer I assume as he dove so fast to the closest rock below the edge where I was standing on and I lost the rig and the only float I brought.
It’s time to fish after the big swell.

To fish at South Coogee from 6.15am to 8.05am this morning on bread only got one 30cm fat bream.
Nothing special, it seems the spot is overfished or the fish have gone to somewhere else.
