good to see it at 40%! This was taken by a Local in April 2006 @ 0.1%...

Great stuff CID, fish like that from small plastic craft are a real buz! Chris PS : my canoe is gone! but I'm looking at a Yak as a replacement

is it a Jew? or Kob? big jew if it is

I reckon a bass feels more powerful and takes longer to land, but the EP's seem a lot faster and take more drag on that first run, but then seems to come in easier.. just my opinion though Top fish all round and a nice treble!

It's that frustration (and the odd mass dusting) that makes kings (and pigs for that matter) so addictive, its "fair" fishing, cause there is every chance that you will not win!

yep smoked pepper is also a great colour! havent used pink though

You can quite easily get a 20 litre drum of fresh pilchards in under an hour (legally) in Sydney on a bait jig. they dont stay alive that well but it can be done.

You dont need a net to catch pillies and it certainly isn't illegal

sounds like a seized or rusted bearing, has it been dropped in the salt?

I'm the same Hooky, all my outbound calls are via voip, and the savings i have made allowed me to upgrade to an 8mb/s internet connection Chris

try clark rubber for generic rubber seals, they are pretty good value most of the time. Chris

yeah its common courtesy rather than rules that should apply! however the guy mentioned may have been breaking the law! "You must keep 30 metres from any person or anything in the water when you are travelling at 10 knots or more" Chris

Love to know your squidding method if you care to share? cheers Chris

saw the other topic, got off topic a little and locked, thought this may clear up the rules, a simple but clear statement from the Saltwater Fishing Handbook (2006) : Please note that although you may clean fish by gilling and gutting you must not alter the length of fish by filleting or removing the head until you are well away from the water. This rule does not apply at areas normally used for cleaning of fish (boat ramp cleaning tables) or if fish are for immediate consumption or immediate use as bait, or for fish that do not have a legal length.
