new bream basher
Submitted by crezz on Wed, 2012-11-21 20:40this is my new custom bream basher. 4-8lb usa graph graphite blank 6'6 with cork grips and wood grain reel seat.
im going to try to put a tiger wrap near the top grip, however judging by what i have seen it looks hard to do.
any one else done any rod wraping? particularly tiger wrap, any tips for me?
still needs flex coat on the guides.

Night fishing in summer
Submitted by damon4949 on Tue, 2012-11-20 17:22Hey guys, so got some nice lights in the boat now and was wondering if it's worth going out for a night fish if I'm going to miss the tide change (Tide on Friday is high at 7:30ish and I'll be on the water 8:30-9) and if it's still worth it, what kind of thing should I look for (ie. gutters, rocks, weed ect ect) withOUT catching any snapper. I know a few good tailor spots but was wondering if they bite all through the night. Hoping for something on the large side of things, Cockburn based btw.
Many thanks!
Damon.
P.S I searched for about 4 hours before asking, searching "night fishing" just brings up 2498576349876534897573498 snapper reports ;)

2012 Catalina or Stella FA
Submitted by lllz3rolll on Tue, 2012-11-20 08:59Hi all pros, I am contemplating between 2012 catalina 5000H and stella 8000 FA for popping. Put aside the price tag and Saltiga is out of the range for now?
Besides, is the 2012 catalina using the same gears as the Saltiga with lesser ball bearings? Normally the 2 tier reel will be using 2 tier gears? Correct me if i am wrong.
Thanks

Toadfish and you
Submitted by trav32 on Mon, 2012-11-19 21:30How funny is it that sailfish eat toadfish? Yep you read that right. Can anyone comment?
I read that when sailfish round up balls of toadfish they won't touch a lure- all they want to eat Is toadfish!

Halco catch scent
Submitted by jighead on Mon, 2012-11-19 13:44Whatever happened to halco catch scent. I remember it in yellow plastic tubes and the gel was a reddish colour. When it came in contact with the water it would turn the same colour as a yellow highlighter. Is it still around and does anybody remember catching anything of note on it?

Is this a mullet ?
Submitted by Uluabuster on Mon, 2012-11-19 12:38G'day All,
Can someone advise what species of fish is this ?
Saw some showering baitfish and cast my floating stickbait and walk the dog back and got this fish instead. Initially I thought this was the baitfish and it was foul hooked. My subsequent cast confirmed that they are indeed the predator cos they follow my stickbait back towards me in school.
I also caught another one on a sinking stickbait.
