You cleaned up. Nice pics

wouldnt be out of place in an aquarium

does anyone know the rate of growth for jewys?

I think their live bait ban is more aimed at fresh water angling to prevent the spread of alien species.

Joey coming to SBW's defense. http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,8659,2...5-23214,00.html

A FEDERAL Government conservation organisation is asking fishermen to stop using stainless steel fishhooks, saying they are cruel. They also say the hooks cause unnecessary loss of marine life. Stainless steel hooks become a problem when fish break away from the line, leaving the hook stuck in their mouth. The hooks do not rust and often cause the fish to starve to death. Coastcare, a National Heritage Trust-funded group, wants corrodible hooks to be the ones always used by anglers. Such hooks would rust, hopefully quickly enough for the animal to survive. Spokesman Brian Scarsbrick said yesterday that snagged animals such as sharks, dolphins and turtles often could not eat because of old hooks and many eventually starved or, in weakened condition, fell victim to predators. Many commercial and recreational fishermen were embracing marine conservation and this was another logical step, he said. Sunfish North Moreton branch secretary Bill Turner said stainless steel had been introduced about 30 years ago in an effort to stop hooks rusting in the tackle box. "Stainless steel hooks hold their point better, but I gave up using them years ago," Mr Turner said. "I personally don't see any advantage in them." He called on all members to abandon stainless steel. "Our annual general meeting is coming up this month, and I'm willing to make a recommendation for Sunfish to adopt this as policy," he said. Mr Turner said stainless steel lasted for an indefinite period and anglers should do anything that would help species survive better. Ron Hunter, owner of Dive Forster in northern NSW, said stainless steel was a major problem, especially in sharks. "Up to 50 per cent of all sharks observed have some form of attachments in their mouths," Mr Hunter said. "An ordinary steel hook will rust away and cause less problems than a stainless steel hook, which can stay in place for up to two years, in which time the shark will often die." It was unclear how long different types of hooks took to rust, but it was thought smaller steel hooks took about six months. http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,21413038-421,00.html

Not all high tackles are premeditated acts so you can't say they are all cowardly or dirty players. If you have played any type of rugby you would know that there are also other factors involved. For example, players slipping or losing their footing, fatigue and carelessness. I believe the SBW incident was just a case of carelessness by the player. Having said that it is still illegal and he should be punished for it. I don’t think SBW is a dirty player, he is just a young and aggressive guy and he will learn from this and become better.

that's a top fish. congrds on the pb

you got your camera at work? post up a pic.

especially true for the pelicans at the entrance. they circle around you even before you catch a fish and charge in once a fish is landed with little regard for the fisherman.

what about those bait traps? anyone use those to catch live bait? I'm sure they are legal, they are sold at tackle stores and *****.

Not all is lost, you can always live bait the bream since kingys are into them.

That's a massive fish. Well done to your mate.

Don't have a boss at the moment the post is vacant since my manager jumped ship.

Hope your boss doesn't use this site.

from memory flathead are not as bad as bream, but tailor is right up there with bream.

On my trip with a fishing charter a few weeks ago, a small octopus was found stuffed in the throat of a kingy when the guide cleaned it. The kingy must have caught it by itself since no other boats around us were using octopus.not that i could see anyway.

I was just wondering what's a 'Happy Moment'?

Where abouts is this picture taken?

Great catch. Sounds like you got the kingie fishing all figured out. Good on ya for releasing the fish you didn't need.

Nice bream. Did you measure it?

after recently using braid line on a fishing charter, I have been converted. I'll be using braid line going forward.

Good catch there. Sounds like a magical day. Did you catch the kings on squid or yellowtail if you don't mind me asking.

I don't think you are allowed to fish in the bicentennial park. I reemeber reading an article a while ago about the park rangers cleaning some out. Looks like the carp has made a comeback.
