After a few recommendations for a light spin jigging rod. I know this has been covered a bit but I'm after a specific rod.

Has to be less than 6' and have a parabolic action. Will be used with a Saltiga game 3500 with 30lb on it. 

The rod will only be used for slow fluttering metal jigs in the 90-120g range.

Something similar to the Jig Force 120g rod but preferably with a reel seat with the nut coming from the bottom and the fore grip right down on the reel.

Cheers

thought i would have a go at something new jamie (no chips)

Thai Green Curry Black Ass

with mushrooms,bokchoy,snow peas, onion on rice......

didnt turn out to bad, quite tasty but i did over cook the fish a little.....master chef in the making hear!!!!! ha ha ha

and no it was not a jar start, made from scratch but out of a book of course.

cheers mate

Was wondering how this knot would go in 30lb braid to 30lb leader or lighter and if anyone uses it. Cant find much in search.

Have been using bimini/GT. I use PR/FG in pe5 or more.

Hi Guys and gals

After reading the post about the 4000 reel advise I was wondering where certain reels fit in the armory. I basically have a range of saragosas, and in the 4000 size I personally love it. But I have a gift coming and its time to think about what to add to the ever growing list.

Most of my older reels dont see action, simply because I a few Okuma V systems years ago, and I dont like them at all now.

The question: Where in a list does the smaller saragosas sit in people minds. I would read it on price alone that it is below Twinpower and Stella, but above Stradic and Sustain's, but from all the posts it appear that in the 4000 and 5000 range they just dont appear as a favourite.

So if I was to spend some more am I better to get others in the smaller Gosa size range. All my uses is saltwater ATM but you never know, might be back down in Perth at some time and I certainlt wont bring out the small V systems.

Brad that is where I might just get a Stella 1000!!!!

 yehhhh boiiii

hey everyone...

looking to do some tailor fishing this week..think thurs evening might look good...is there many floating about off groynes on the northshore..looking to go between hillaries and yanchep..dont know really...any help??is there many been caught this time of year?

thanks

Weather looks great to fish out deep, WE are heading out of o/reef about 7AM

Ive been getting mine from my local iga in 5lt tubs and have the chance to start getting a 44gallon drum every few weeks or they have to pay to get it disposed. Moving house soon and will have the room to have it laying about and could thus supply it to people who are in need for their burley. If there is a demand for this i will consider going through with it. could even do a gold coin donation and send through to a charity etc and limit it to 10ish lts per visit so people arent just pouring it into the ocean(from what i hear it doesnt break down too well).

cheers

Jim.

Heyy all,

A mate and i are going to Thevenard island, and will be fishing off one of those little plakas that they have there. Was wondering wether we need a recreational fishing licence. We have a skippers ticket. Any info would be greatley appreciated. Cheers

Looking for a light reel for snapper soft plastics and a tad of spinning using PE 0.5 to PE 1 braid......after using SamC's Ceetate 2500R yesterday, it WILL BE a Certate (I have a few Stella's etc, so not biased).

My question is which size? Options:

- 2500 - nice and light, good spool capacity, but low ratio (71 cm/turn good for fighting, not as good for spinning for tuna). I already have a Stella SW4000PG low gear ratio job for light jigging so dont want another reel the same....

- 2500R - bigger gearbox, stronger, slightly heavier, still low ratio 71 cm/turn. Sweet reel.

- 2508RH - high speed 84 cm good, but tiny spool, will make any larger tuna captures difficult.

- 3000 - better retrieve 81 cm/turn, even bigger spool, heavier. May be too big for the PE 0.5 to 1 braid I will use.

Hmmm, comments/suggestions? 

HI All,

I need some advice on buying my new reel. I am looking at a 4000 size to hopefully run 20-30lb. It will be used for throwing soft plastic to light bottom bashing up north. I  have been doing a bit of research on the net to find the best prices around the world. Here are soem choices and prices if any one can help me.

Stradic 4000 - $190

Sustain 5000 - $199US

Bradia - $335

Hi Everyone,

I was wanting to pick the brains of the wealth of knowledge that I continually read on here,

What type of rigs does everyone recommend for Gar fishing, I went yesterday and seen heaps of them around, my berly was good so that wasnt a problem.

I used a size 10 long shank hook, I think this may have been my issue, but I also used small bits of prawns.

Does anyone have any tips on gear that I should use to catch them also any other types of bait?  any info would be much appreciated. 

Thanks Guys and Girls

Anyone got one? Any thing to say about them, either good or bad (yes, I've done search....)? More so anyone that runs one from a battery that doesn't get a charge/feed (as that's how mine will be set up), and how long will it last before the battery needs a charge?

I'm thinking of getting one for the new dinghy.

any one want to go out fra few hours landbased

We had a good day today from Two Rocks, headed out to Direction bank (bit sloppy) caught 6 Dhuies, 4 pinkies, 4 BlackArse, Bronzie Shark and a few skippy.

Some on jigs but mainly bottom bouncing, Thanks for the heads up on this site about Wrasse fillets for bait AWESOME !!!! 2 Dhuies and a pinkie all on the same fillet !!! Pinkie nearly ripped the rod out my hand as soon as the lead hit the bottom.

Sure slows all the pickers up, skin tough as old boots.

Got out for a fish today off Cape Nat. Had a funny drift going to start the day. Wind coming from the NE and we where drifting in a northerly direction.

Day started off very slow with only a few small fish caught and me dropping a really good fish.

Wasn't to about 1.30 that we managed to find a few decent sizes dhuys.

Total for the day was 10 dhuys ranging from 43cm to 100cm and one breaksea cod.

My best for the day caught on a pearl McArthy plastic.

Dave with a nice dhuy caught on a 11" McArthy plastic.

Another one for me caught on a Caprice jig.

some great entrys going in today, including seaquest 100cm dhu, beating his previous by 2cm, well done mate, also some entrys from sarcasm0, the german and myself

well, this has been the best day out for us in a long time!!!

myself and my 2 boys(troy &blake) headed out from woodys before light for go at some new ground and it turned out to be a cracker of a day with us only moving around about 1k at the most once we where at our spot.

on the way to the ramp in the morning i told the boys we are going to get a big dhu today with me calling it good carma for the sized dhu we released last week......well carma payed of big time with some nice fish coming over the side all day long.

started of with a run on undersize pinkys 6 in total, so we moved 500mtrs and thats where we got everything else.

troys pb dhuy at 11.5kg and also our current boats pb.

blake got into the action as well with mutiple fish including the sambo at 90cm also his pb.(and it made him piss)

and his black ass @47cm pb as well (he cant remember his f/w user name thats why its under troy)

then its my turn with 2 nice baldys with the biggest going 61cm @4.5kg also my pb.

wether was a bit average early morn but after lunch it started to settle down for some enjoyable fishing with my boys and getting some more entrys onto the leaderboard as well.

heres a couple of pics.

cheers ron

 I was just on Ausfish site and saw a forum what is everybory,s thoughts on fishing tackle chain stores such as BCF Tackleworld in WA.

Hi ,
Looking at changing coolant and oil on a peugot 206, about 2004 model. Has any done this themselves?

The youg fella doesn't normally get too excited by the thoughts of going for a fish, but for whatever reason, he said he would so off we went. Launched from Mindarie and headed out. Got into the 40's and got a great flare up. Showed him what to do and let him drop away while I got my gear togethor. About 20 seconds later I get the "dad, I think I've got a fish" with a big bend in the rod. "Think you could be right! - lift and wind, lift and wind...." 5 minute later, up pops a little 62 cm dhui and big smiles all round. Bloody great start I think

Hi all just asking for some advice.

Recently purchased my first boat a 5.3 razorline ali runabout. I went out today from two rocks and with the decent swells and the generous gap underneath my transom door saw a lot of water coming into the deck. As I don't have a bilge pump yet,was planning to go buy one tomorrow, on the way back in the boat was very ass heavy and I could feel the extra weight coming in I knew there was quite an amount of water in the hull. Upon taking out the bung at least 100l if not more water came out of the hull.
I just want to know if this is normal in a boat with a bilge or is water getting through the deck into the hull somewhere it isn't supposed to be.
Can anyone steer me in the right direction or suggest where I can take it to get it checked out. I live in kallaroo any insight is greatly appreciated. Cheers
