    Hi Raiders

    I had a car accident in the rain about a week ago and I have smashed up my mitsubishi magna :(

    The car is fixable however I would like to just sell it and buy a new one. The car has front end damage and the airbag went of. Im not sure the best way to go about selling it???

    Do I sell it to a wrekers? Sell it on ebay? carpoint? or advertise it in the weekend classifieds????

    Im not sure how much it would be worth or even how much to advertise it for? It is a 1999 modle with 170000 km on it and was in perfect working condition before the accident. Two new front tires and kept neat and tidy.

    Any advice from any raiders in the know would be much appreciated. I will be taking some pics of it this arvo.

    Any advice would be much appreciated as the quicker I take care of this problem the quicker I can go fishing again. :thumbup:

    Snapper On Sps

    in Fishing Reports

    Posted

    Hey Raiders

    It has been a while since my last report. I havnt been fishing near enough and when I have been out other raiders posted a report. Anyway I got a call from my mate who was calling to gloat about how he was heading to Port Broughton SA to chase snapper, I said as a joke When are we going??? He said come along mate so I booked a flight we headed down monday morning. YOU LITTLE RIPPA!!!!

    November is a closed season for snapper and Dec 1 it opened again. We checked into the PB carivan park on Monday and we were pumped for a big day on the water. The reports told us the the best spot to have a crack was 28 nm out were the water depth went from 20m to 11m. We sounded out a school and they were thick. I was fishing with my Battler Kingbolt paired up with an airity. I was worried I would get smoked but as we were fishing over gravel beds I thought with a little luck things would go to plan.

    Steve said drop your lines and I sent down a 7 inch gulp and the I got a hit......... The rod loaded up and I was onto my first SA snapper. My first one was around 4kgs and was the start of a hot snapper Bight.

    Frank got on and Steve got on we all caught quality fish. As the bag limit in SA is 2 snapper over 60cm per person we threw back about 4-5 fish each attempting to upgrade. The biggest for the the day was 6-7 kgs caught by yours truly :1prop: The snapper were hitting the plastics on the drop and plastics outfished bait 4-1.

    The fish went of the bight so we called it a day and headed back to clean the fish and snap freeze them.

    Day 2 was a repeat of day one and we had a great day fishing and I caught my PB snapper that went 92cm with and estimated weight of 8kg. I was Wrapped!!!

    Day three and the boys truly shined we threw back soooo many snapper we bagged out in about 30 mins and worked on catching snapper between 38cm and 60cm to take home whole. We caught 2.... This was a bitter sweet thing as throwing back snapper that averaged 70-80cm was great fun but frustrating as we wanted to take home a decent feed to offset the cost of the trip.

    Weather cut our trip short by 2 days and we decided to leave at 230 am on friday morning. With three of us we towed the boat 1530 km all the way back to Sydney with it raining the whole time. 19 hours we were back.

    This trip was fantastic and we have already booked accomodation for next year. It was great fun experimenting new tactics and by the last day we had catching snapper on plastics wired. The best performing plastics were 7 inch gulp shads in Pilchard, White and Grey. Squigie pilchard flick baits in the 8 inch? size accounted for the 2 biggest fish of the trip. We used 1/2 ounce and 5/8 ounce nitro jigheads using 20 lb penx. The light gear was loads of fun and all we really used was upgraded bream gear for plastics and heavy gear for bait.

    Anyway here's the pics enjoy.

    Grant for sure. And it looks like December 93 after a week of Solid rain.Thats Narrabeen at the mouth of the laggoon he was probably casting at a boomie . Im guessing an 80 gram popper with a 1/0 ball sinker to get it under the foam. 10 kg mono on a home made 10ft spin stick. The big jew looks to be 21.5 kg and the smaller one 17.5 kg.

    What do I get :1prop:

    Your Weirdest Catch On The Right Bait

    in Fishing Chat

    Posted

    One day at in the port hacking when I was a kid fishing on my mates dads moored cruizer his dad told us that grapes work relly well as bait. I was like yeah nice try mate Ill stick with my prawns but my mate wacked on a red grape and caught a fat 30cm plus bream and the a 50cm flatty about 5 mins later. I was gobsmacked :o . Years later we were all haveing a beer and telling fishing stories and up came the grape story. His dad confessed that he was only pulling our leg about the grapes being great bait and was shocked when his son caught not 1 but 2 fish :biggrin2: He never confessed at the time because it made him look like a pro fisherman. Unbelievable :wacko:
