  1. Cheers mate, still out there fishing every spare moment
  2. Which lure mate? For the spotties i used a nomad madscad and a barambah baby perch modified to swimbait, or the school mack pic is a halco twisty
  3. Few schoolies in the usual spots of MB 2 days ago we got some for a shark session
  4. Shimano use to include a small oil tube and the small washers to adjust spool position for level line lay. I just checked my 1000 and seems to have all fitted. Maybe flip the top washer for a fresh surface. All ways good to clean this area and grease as it is exposed to sea air and sand.
  5. Cheers mate, lucky enough the wind had dropped but the swell was still there. That is my camp light on the tripod, lights up a good area dingos came through around 1:30am briefly, think they were licking my boat on low tide boat looked like a murder scene from the spotties
  6. Clean felt washers in degreaser and put new grease in for now. Replace the lil washer under the spool with one of the ones in the box. This is usually the culprit to sticky drags as it wears all the drag pressure.
  7. Yeah mate it from moon to half way to wathumba, was really thick at moon at the time.
  8. Cheers mate! 50klms from Urangan to Wathumba, 20klms of that in the smoke haze lol
  9. Gday, Thought i would share a few pics of a recent mission to Wathumba in a 12ft tinny. Weather was not perfect with a 1.5mtr NW swell making the trip up interesting, lucky the wind was dropping and changing to ESE. After 2 hours of motoring up at a comfortable pace , I was greeted with rollers at the mouth of the creek. Made my way in to set up camp and stretch the back out lol getting old. The wind had dropped out so i headed out for a few hours out the front of the creek. Did not take long to find bust ups and birds, spotties feeding lead to some crazy fun action. Boated 5 from 11 going flat out on them to get them past the sharks. Feeling exhausted and tired from 1 hour of sleep since the night before, i headed back to camp for some cold ones and sleep. Next morning i headed back while it was a glass out, knowing if i fished i would miss the window to cross back from moon to urangan. Wind was predicted to climb from lunch time. Great fun solo mission that i plan on doing again after the fires.
  10. Flicking lures along the rock wall is awesome fun! Trevs, queenies, bluey's , cod etc and usually 3 or more dust ups lol poppers get the queenies and trevs fired up
  11. Glenn's brother 130cm on a sugerpen following weekend
  12. This is the 147cm my mate Glenn caught on a Gantia. Bloody thing hit my gantia at the rod tip morning before lol
  13. There has has been a few gold nuggets caught, plus some dark backs with creamy white sides and belly.
  14. They have been consistent all year round 2019/20. Some huge locals threadies have been caught recently by a few guys. 147cm on a gantia, 130cm sugarpen and heaps of mtr ones on poppers, vibes, bent minnows etc
  15. Cheers mate, 30cm shallow flats for the surface one. Insane surface hit lol. Riverside area of the river
  16. Been putting a few hours into the local lately and starting to get a few results. Set a mission to get a fredd off surface and finally nailed a 109cm.
  17. Great report and great pics mate!! enjoyed the read in pic 8 at the end of the mat one maybe two of the trout must have come close to being under size? remember with a spear you can select before shooting, i would be shooting the bigger ones like you did and not risk shooting possible legals
