plenty around arent there...i bin getten them evrywhere i threw a metal slug across my front lawn the otha day n hooked up .

i was north mate

just a quik report...went for a fish this arvo/night at one of my favourite ledges round sydney with a couple of mates...started spinning and got 7 bonnies kept two for bait and let the rest go.. my mate converted those into 2 thumper snapper each goin 2kgs on the dot and i got two nice 60cm choppers, so it was a nice night..caught plenty more tailor aswell but thought live and let live..cheers bandit sorry no pics

TOP CAcTH F1sh3rm4n!!! I seem to remember u catching a few thumper sambos recently too!! youve certainly got it figured out havent you..U must b soo good at evrything in life with a combo like that..the stella and the tiralejo certainly match nicely dont they..like bacon and eggs if u ask me..WELL DONE TIGHT LINES B4nd1t MERRY XMAS

yeh i dont think i will tried it out with 3kgs of drag and there was a hefty bend it it already, as for line i think i got approximately 200 to 250 mt of powerpro braid onto it, should be a good fight if i hook nething decent

thanks for the help guys, i just got a stella 3000fd and a tiralejo 9ft model. im mainly going to use it for a bit of light spinning, just wanted to know how far i could push the tackle, as the stella has a max drag of 10kgs and i got it spooled with 20lb power pro. hopefully ill b able to land some kings and tuna from up the coast, without getting busted on a rock

hey fellow raiderers just wondering if a rod is rated at 6 to 10 kg line does that mean the rod can handle 10kgs of drag when fighting a fish? cheers th3 b4nd1t

Jiminy jillickers F1sherm4n...nice setup u got there..certainly top of the line tiralejos r a gorgeous rod theres no doubt about that..u could certainly land a serious fish with that combo..whether u have remains to be seen jokesss cheers b4nd1t

nice one f1sh3rman..they certainly put up a fight off the stones dont they and u gotta love the acrobatics..hey u mind me asking what gear you were using? Cheers band1t

looks awesum mate..u mind me askin what charter this was and what it cost? cos im heading over there at the end of this month n realy wana get out fishing for a day? cheers

hey raiders, headin to fiji at the end of this month with the bt cant let an opportunity like this slip past to get some wet a line..im looking to go on a charter and just seeking some advice as to which one to choose, and if any of you have had experience over there is it worth the money? cheers b4nd1t

man 250metres is insane...if i reach a hunded then ill be happy..cheers

hey guys i have recently come across a trinidad dc30 and a shimano tiralejo 13 ft rod at mates rates shall i say..i have been getting some nice casts with the trinidad but just out of curiosity would like to know how far someone that is highly experinced with overhead reels would be able to cast..currently i am gettin around the 60-70metre range with the odd one goin around 80..so yeh just wonderin how far i should b able to cast as i practice more. cheers b4nd1t

nice flatty slaka...love to catch one that big...its just a pity about tha parra hat

sounds goood allfisher...il cook it that way and see how she goes.. cheers THE B4ND1T

I dont know how to 'cock' the salmon fisherman, im not into that but i could tell u how i cook it..

your day will come fisherman, your day will come

headed out to malabar early this morning to make the most of the nice day...after about half an hour i got my 40gm metal spinner to the edge of the rocks where it was hammered by this salmon...after a small bt nervous fight landed it alrite...she went 67 cm an 2.9kgs. cheers bandit

nice catch mate...u got that on a charter im guessing? u mind me asking what one it was on cos im heading there in december..cheers b4nd1t

great catch youve done it again jerry adams,..im with brickman on the lets see a post or your electric reel..ive heard a bit about it from f1sh3rman.

ye mate was a great morning...waited til i got home to have a beer 6 am was a bit early...9 am on the other hand... cheers guys

you should know you were there fisherman, yeh the gaffmans alrite but he ruined the fillets..but we cort them on 40 and 65gm raider metal spinners.

me and some mates just recently got back from a skiing trip and had a few days to spare so we decided to head up the coast to see if we could get onto some nice winter salmon..anyway first day there set the alarm for 4am and got up and began the trek to Spot x..the water was lookin beautiful without a cloud in sight..just as the sun began to rise the fist lure was thrown out and BANG!! im on..after a small fight i land i nice kilo tailor..The three other guys i was with quickly got their spinners into the water and had their first cast to the same result..This action continued for about and hour with one after the other being landed and then like magic they went off the bite..of about the 30 landed we kept 6 for dinner..the metal spinners seemed to have lost effectiveness so i decided to switch to bait..having caught all my previous kings on pilchard cubes i took this approcah again and after a small wait i was onto a little rat only went 50cms so sent him back..i rebaited and the a short time later my rod bucked and the drag peeled off the penn and i immediatley called it a king..after a nervous 5 minute fight trying to steer him from reefing me i finaly got him close enough to the rocks and my mate got a clean gaff shot on him..he went 76 cms and 3.4kgs on the scales and tasted great on the bbq later that night..along with that my mate landed a bumper salmon on a spinner he must have been 4-5kgs but we set the big girl free.. all in all a great trip and glad the fish were biting. cheers b4nd1t

Had the day off work today so decided to go for a quick fish off the rocks at spot X in the eastern suburbs. I slept in so didnt get started til about midday but decided to have a go anyway...pulled the month old servo squid out of my fridge and got going...the swell wasnt too bad so i started to fish.. Caught a nice big leatherjacket which ill b having for dinner tonight.. after approximatly 1.5hrs my bait i through out one of the last pieces of bait and BANG!! my drag took off and and the line started to peel off the penn..I called a kingy..after about a 10 minute fight it surfaced to show that it was a massive salmon..i continued to fight it until it was tired out and then i had the task of waiting for a wave to wash it up onto the rocks...after numerous attempts a big swell finally washed her onto land..i couldnt believe it she must have gone 6 kilos easy and 70plus cms..sorry got no pics, spewin i didnt take the camera..anyway gave her a kiss and sent her back but definitely a PB for me and a great unexpected catch..must remeber to take a gaff next time Cheers bandit

you love kissing point hey mate...i cant seem to get a jewie down there but ill keep trying. Youve certainly got it figured out..ye knew you'd been there i saw 'bangus' graffitied in big black letters on the wharf..haha dont worry i wont tell
