Dan A Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Hi, I am getting the bug to give my beach gear another run, have only ever attempted it a couple times at Port Macquarie and that was a couple years ago. Can anyone recommend a good beach to fish for a beginner. Thanks Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewhunter Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 (edited) Next week the tides will be good around Thursday or Friday Those tides wouldn't coincide with days off would they Stewy? Dan A, I'm sure that when you get to fish with Swordy you will have fun & productive session. He's always got a few tips up his sleeve so don't be afraid to ask a few questions. Cheers, Grant.

Dan A Posted July 30, 2006 Author Share Posted July 30, 2006 I need some help too. Tried out my alvey combo today..how do you cast these things! Mate, that is my problem, the casting of the Alvey, hence the reason I have not Beach Fished for 2 years Although I have recently found this site with tutorials http://www.alveyusa.com/video.php Not sure about Thu/Fri as I am working, will see what I can do as was supposed to have a day off last Friday but ended up workin.

kingpig Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Guys Most people who have problems with alvye's do not have the correct rod for this style reel. The first line guide needs to be a fair way up the rod from the reel seat and the diameter needs to bigger than one used for a treadline. The reel seat should be low so that the bottom hand controls the reel when you cast. Another common problem is line spin. I use two swivels to try and fix this. Talk to someone at your local tackle shop. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
