well done on your first she wont be your last

i yet to catch a kingie but well done young man

advantages are simple as tidal flow gets stronger you can simply change sinker to suit conditions ie. spoon to a heavier type or snapper lead not real advantage from round to ezy rig which i use spoons on other than my bait does not roll with currents but sometimes this can go against you round sinker rolls into the gutter were fish may be hiding

i have always used the plastic outer casing of my old extension leads you know the colored part red, black, green as it is soft and prevents the ezy rig from beating on your knot assuming thats why he mentioned it

ray why the change of mind from the saragosa was it just price or something

that is a great fighting kingie all 105cms of it

that second shot ray looks great to me mad prawn thanks for the info

congratulations mate was it on the rod you were selling if it was i bet your keeping it now or what outfit did you catch it on did get a photo of it as a keep sake she was your first but wont be your last:biggrin2:

well i thought it would be a good time to get some new gear and spoil myself at the same time first up are u.s import uglystick tigers got 2 of them one as a spare and one to use of course and got an ozzie uglystick platinum 6-10 kg to play with while they were sent in the post then i picked two live liners for 300 beans i was stoked and i decided i would pick up a cheap overhead to see if i could cast it well tried for about 30mins then gave up wasn't to bad at casting it i just could not cast far at all about 7metres i managed to get plenty of pings ie line breaks on 20lb while trying to cast i doubt its a baitcaster any how also i was casting on an O/H rod not on the uglystiks spin rods posted here now just got to catch a jew to to get a nice bend in the rods the old set a forget bait runners well not really ps dont worry about the the line on the spools

its good to hear you finally got your boat and that you had a great outing despite nil fish caught best of luck for next time you'll Cristen the boat for sure

nice combo jew ,hairtail and a flattie

hey clem seems we have something in common we dont catch fish but always try too maybe we should fish together one day and see who bait stays on the hook the longest went to clarkes point to day 9.30am to 1130 just to see my original baits still on the hooks when i packed up only saw one fish caught while i was there a small bream could it be the moon phase ? my baits were prawn and dead poddies

we tried sat morn to the arvo tried the common places managed 2 tailor and bream plus 3 bust offs my friends said it was quiet how right they were seems theirs a few posts around but it was a good day out even for me as i caught zero

that is one happy boy great catch and even on 3kg line top notch

that trev is quite the pearler father son days fishing brings back memories

looks good to me just stringy perfect for the georges blackfish

so what do they do with the carp after they are hung out to dry so to speak

good to see you got pics up can't wait to catch my own legal jew

"""Hi bass_beginner Might help if you tell us what you are planning to catch with this gear & lures Cheers John""" ill assume its a bream stick for me reel wise its a 1000 stradic c14 much lighter and cheaper to boot than a twinpower but no spare spool and a pflueger supreme they have a couple of sticks in 1-3kg range total should be close to 650 thats my opinion any how

just one short of a six pack nice feed well done

must have been a decent flatty to chow the mantis prawn down by the looks of it

gotta be happy with that i wonder how big the jew jewels in that fish would be

when you rebuild something and it all goes to plan and saves you cash you are pleased at least the wife should be well done

b a shannon were you the fello at lambeth fishing using 12lb line and a hand made float that someone commented on at around 2.40pm on monday
