I'm all for this change too. I always release the big girls anyway

Great report Mrs Swordie, I am deathly allergic to Redfin but I’m still envious of the trip.

Hi everyone, I am thinking about another dedicated rod reel setup for squiding around Sydney. I’ve been looking at the Emeraldas for several years but now see the Sephia line from Shimano. Anyone on here have experience with either of these setups rods reels? cheers bear

Love the video mate. Looks like fun

I went out in the Hacking on Friday by myself as my usual fishing mate ( my son) was busy partying with mates this weekend. We were supposed to have a contractor over today Saturday but they canceled last night. My Mrs said what do you want to do on Saturday then? I said well it is “ Take your Mrs Fishing day”. So she said ok. Lol. Got to swallow rock boat ramp at 5am. It was starting to get a little busy but not bad, there were still parking spots. Today was a mixture of bait and lures targeting kingfish and some flatties. No flatties today but had two good hook ups into something reasonable in size that we lost. Another I saw was a rat king so we were pretty sure the other two were too as they fought the same. Anyway Ruth picked up this little pinky and after a quick photo put it back. Her first pinky. Water temp was 23c wind was against the tide so drifting was into the tide. We used pilchards and squid for bait and I mixed in some soft plastics and jigs for lures. We used circle hooks and it was great to see even a small fish hooked perfectly in the corner of the mouth. It was a great day even if we didn’t land the big ones. At least we can talk about the ones that got away.

Well done

Gee whiz that’s a big cuttlefish

Hope you are feeling better soon Derek. We will chase some Kingies then!

My son and I were also out in our 5m centre console. We probably saw you. Got some squid early and had one taker but didn’t hook up. Still a fine say

Happy New Year !!

I thought this was going to be a thread about torrfisk. Truly a treat!

I use them whenever I’m moving my boat. The only time I don’t is when backing down the ramp or up my driveway.
