    Headlamps - Night Fishing

    Hi Mate,

    I use a LED Lenser in the H7 model, i bought this one becuase its not rechargeable. I wont have any way to charge it if im out so opted for the battery model.

    Either way cant go wrong with LED Lenser

    The Led lenser h14r takes 4 AA batteries so you can just take back up batteries

    Squidgy Pro Flick Bait

    in Saltwater Fishing Chat

    Posted · Edited by Brewboy

    They changed the slimey colour, which I don't like.

    The original slimey flick baits were translucent green/translucent yellow and now they're translucent green/silver, the black stripes have changed too.

    last time i looked they had 6 different colours 4 sizes

    Cheers Brewboy

    Last summer was fishing for yakkas at the hawkesbury we were getting small snapper every drop then i was pulling 1 in and i feel alot of weight on the line i thought i might have hooked onto one of those jellyfish i get it to the top and its a 80cm flatty and even when he saw the boat he didn't want to let go and we were lucky enough to net him

    if you want to spend your best bet is the maged avet lx 2 speed ,over 400 mters of 30 lbs mono ,can cast over 100 mts if you can cast ,it will also be good as a live bait reel ,as well as a bottom bash reel , trolling reel,you will not go wrong with a maged avet ,about 560 australian dollars to your door from the usa

    hi customcasting i have an avet rapter sx do u know of anywhere i can get the magnets, cups and washers for it or better yet where i can get it magged

    Thanks Ash

    Jew Two

    in Fishing Reports

    Posted

    Hello All,

    well after bagging my first Jew not long ago it was time to make

    some effort to understand how things have started to come together.

    A bit of reading some old articles and checking the tides and the

    like and it was time to have another go.

    Same again, recently caught squid on a two hook rig and landbased

    at a good spot. Only difference this time was the opposite tide and

    in broad daylight to offset when I can fish with the missus/kids

    not home.

    Within five minutes a pretty solid hit but no hookup. Last bait

    prepped and out for no longer than ten for a good hit and come up

    tight. Now this spot is pretty hectic as last reported with many

    possible snags so the drag is up and am into him. He nearly had me

    around a pylon but soon enough have him up and in safe hands.

    My second Jew ever and it went 3kg and 70cm, a bit smaller than the

    first in weight being not as plump - but very happy none the less.

    I have managed to strike up a good deal with one of the neighbours

    I regularly sling fish to - she cleans and fillets while I wash my

    gear. Everyone is happy, she is Greek so no waste with fillets for

    all and a fish head soup later in the week.

    gday

    ive been hitting norah head rocks after drummer the last couple of days and ive been hooking some beauties , but for the life of me i cant get the bloody things up , ive had about 6 good hookups so far and i havent landed one fish , yesterday i was up there hooked a good one and pulled as hard as i could trying to get this thing to surface my rod was at breaking point .......im using a 12 ft beach rod and shimano big egg beater reel with 15 pound mono line im guessing this is not the right gear for these huge fighters.........so my question is whats the best rod and reel for drummer and line i want to land one of these big suckers

    cheers steve
