Spinning rod to pair with Saragosa 20K
Submitted by chris1108 on Mon, 2018-09-24 16:26Hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend.
I'm just after some ideas on what rod to pair with a Saragosa 20000. I want to use it for casting big baits into the surf, slide baiting and also general shore fishing. Budget is anywhere from $200 to $500 for the rod itself.
I've got my mind almost made up on an Assassin EVO Zero AEZH, although that's at the high end of what I want to spend - can get a demo model for $495 at the moment. The Sensor Surf IZM Spin 153 (model 153XXS) also looks like it would go well with this reel. It's around $420 and the cast and line weight are similar to the Assassin.
I'm just considering all options and while I really want to get my first brand new Assassin, I'm also thinking f**k it, just get a 14' Prevail and with the money I'll save I can get some more of the gear I want.
In the $200-300 range though, what other rods would pair well with the 20K? Must be a versatile rod suited to the types of fishing mentioned above.
Cheers.

Gummy Shark
Submitted by joycey on Mon, 2018-09-24 14:32Hi all,
I caught a gummy shark for the first time today, however as I was unsure of how to dispatch and process it, I decided to let it go this time.
So what’s the way to deal with gummy’s, so I know for next time. Do you have to club them on head then bleed? Also what’s the best way to fillet them?
cheers

Cockburn Sound snapper numbers
Submitted by Mack1 on Sun, 2018-09-23 10:39I hve noticed plenty of boats in the mid sound area probably the D9 area, but most fishers I know are struggling to get a fish. Are there many fish getting caught? Last year plenty of boats were fishing along the rock walls with hit and miss results...all miss for me. Any tips would be appreciated. Are there more fish morningn night or day time?

Why not have extra long wkend
Submitted by Devocean on Sat, 2018-09-22 04:54Decided to ditch work fri and have the extra long wkend , hit two rocks beautiful day bit slow but got the goods in the end.
Surprise first drop was a spangled.shouldve got photo on the lie detector, photo didn’t do justice went 63cents. That’s a first for me metro , not the best on the chew imo but the boys were keen for fresh spango.
Next drop some good shows on a tiny little lump and the boys loaded up big time as soon as hit the bottom only to drop both of them Next drift got the goods coupla nice dhuys (nothing as big as the previous two just dropped) but everyone stoked to be on the board. Heaps of little pinks around, coupla big gummy’s , then finished the bag with sum nice blackass.

Boat fishing numbers down?
Submitted by SeperateKnob on Tue, 2018-09-18 10:43Over the last 6 months worth of boat fishing outitings (at least once a fortnight) in fantastic boating weather and I've noticed very few boats out (Cockburn snapper run aside).
Are there less people fishing from boats these days? maybe due to rising fuel prices and boat ownership costs?
