Tiger Shark
Submitted by AmericanBen on Fri, 2010-04-02 19:34Fishing 2 weeks ago at the wrecks off Rott and caught a couple of nice fish until a 12 ft Tiger and his posse showed up. Was thinking about heading out to the containers and was wondering if anyone has any luck out that way or if the sharks are still out in numbers? Lots of baitballs and was wondering if that's what got the sharks out. Cheers, Ben

etec warranty
Submitted by fisho-ron on Thu, 2010-04-01 22:21brp (etec) would have to be the best after sales/warranty i have ever heard off, anybody else delt with them.
we had bought a demo engine with 20hrs and have since found it has done alot more than we were told,
brp are replacing the whole dressed power head with no question ask and we will end up getting an engine reading 0 hrs(brand new), better than what we had bought to start of with, and not costing us a cent.
also the engine was bought from a dealer over in QLD and brp has taken it upon themselfs to sort us out instead of arguing with the dealer......unheard of.

Not another salmon thread
Submitted by buschy on Thu, 2010-04-01 19:02Hey guys,
Not another salmon thread, but something slightly different. I have never chased them before and will be in Pemberton next weekend to try and hunt a couple down. I've heard they are average eating at best so am keen to get some more opinions and find out the best way to prepare and cook them?
I'm thinking salmon steaks on the BBQ, on the beach, with butter and garlic after a long days fishing might be the way to go?
Cheers,
Rob

Barra setup?
Submitted by Marky on Thu, 2010-04-01 12:44Hey all you Barra professionals out there...
Was curious as to how you all setup your rig for live baiting for Barra? I usually will have a small to medium(depending on current at the time), running sinker on 60-80lb leader down to a single hook on the bottom with the livie thru the back.
Ive been told recently that this is not the best way to do it. Because this will put the livie on the bottom to swim around. I should be using a paternoster type set up with a sinker on bottom and a single hook on a loop about 1-2m up the leader depending on how deep you are fishing too. This will put the livie swimming around the mid-high water column where the Barra attack from below like they do with lures, due to Barra sitting on the bottom of the creek looking upwards waiting to attack...
Was wondering if anyone had an opinion of this. Next time im home im going to try it out and see how it goes too.... Cheers. Mark.

rod and reel combo for salmon
Submitted by bilby on Wed, 2010-03-31 15:50hi all, in need of some help here! =)
I'm after some suggestions for a rod and reel combo for catching salmon and casting lures.
i want to be able to cast 50-70g metals and poppers FAR..like 100m+
ive got an exceler 4000 and spheros14k but i think i may need a reel something inbetween those two. budget is as low as possible, after a bang for buck combo. but willing to spend up to 400-500 inc braid.
what do you guys use?
cheers.
