  1. For me I like progression reports, such as when someone targets something, then takes awhile to achieve that goal, then soon becomes a bit of an expert by all the time and experience they've learnt. I also like to hear reports that coincide with seasons and weather events. For instance I love hearing how one species is starting to come on, how they were better(or not) last season, how things changed, they're in different spots, or were here last week, but are gone now. The hit and miss, which usually coincides with how I'm fishing, is what I like. Mind you I read whatever when it comes to fishing.
  2. I used to try and fish everything, at any time. It took me awhile, but I realised this doesn't really work that well. As I've gotten older, I've narrowed my species, and hence my gear to suit. I fish: boat offshore> summer=pelagics, winter= bottom fish boat bay> squire, whiting, mackerel, sandcrabs boat estuary> flathead, cod, prawns, mudcrabs Out of these, a few I'm still very much learning, others I'm quite confident in. For me, it's about recognising patterns and achieving what I set out to catch, always learning.
  3. Never heard of them before, but the condition looks very good. If this is an old rod, an antique, then the value is hard to compare, and what you paid for it is insignificant if it is what you always wanted.
  4. Like Kelvin said Robbie, I went the J and L style hooks you get from Bunnings. Cheap and easy to fix, they work well for me. The only trouble is the pots that have fixed tubes can be a bit of a pain. I like @Luvits style, the only trouble is my shed I built oversized to fit my boat. The frames are over 3m up, and being vertically challenged, I'd need a ladder everytime I needed to get them down. Say Wayne, where did you get those pots? Dad used to have a few of those pull-up collapsible pots, but the place he got them no longer stocks them. I remember them being so simple and easy, would mind getting a few myself. I'm getting over fixing tubes while out on the water.
  5. If I had my choice, I don't think you can go past a redone Haines 565F. Proven, bulletproof and highly sought after. Then again trying to find one that is ready to fish, affordable and up-for-sale is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Galeforces are brilliant boats, and from all reports so are the Bonitos. Don't forget to consider Hooker Boats, very good also. Although I think the hardest decision you'll make is deciding which of the numerous options you've been given. Either way I'm sure it'll be perfect. Thru-hull or in-hull transducers are superior to transom mount, but I wouldn't seal them in. Maybe put them in during the build, and then have an access hatch in case something does go wrong. I've heard of people sealing their fuel tanks in, only to have to rip up the floor when a hose clamp let go.
  6. For all the northsiders I don't mind sharing a few spots as tilapia are filthy things. The biggest ones I've ever caught are here, in a drain pond that runs out of the Boondall Entertainment Centre and into Cabbage Tree Creek. Access is tricky. The biggest ones I've ever seen, and plenty of them, is here at Wavell Heights, on a drain that runs into Kedron Brook. And the ones I've been targeting lately without success, basically because they're spooky as hell. Downfall creek at Chermside.
  7. A guy I know fishes for them in the Albert quite often, he uses corn too. However between October and November is when the mulberry plants start to fruit, during this period he swears by mulberries, and even uses plastics that look like mulberries.
  8. I have a friend who always seems to catch old bongs when fishing with plastics. He always takes photos and calls them 'Catch of the day'(I'll see if I can round up the pictures). He reckons he hears of heaps of people catching them, anyone else got one?
  9. Count me and my wife in. @Danielle have sent you a PM.
  10. Stinky things that steal baits meant for decent fish. Trade it up for mud crabs, perfect crab bait.
  11. Great report and thanks for letting me know. I work a two minute walk from here, back up on Lutwyche Road, and have fished this area only a couple of times for very mixed results. Considering the amount of catties you got I might have to get myself down there, I need to replenish my crab bait supply.
