    Hi squeak6969

    Alright, it might be somewhere I could check out. I am going out targeting them tomorrow, so I hope I can hook one. 

    Also, just a quick question for all. Would it be acceptable, if fishing land based, to release a fish? I know it says you can only;y go out boat based fishing for a feed, but I am not particular wanting to keep a thready if a catch it. 

    Cheers Hamish 🙂 

    I kept this one but i heard this size release back ok.....smaller ones have a bit of trouble. Dont know of its true or not though

    Wow had a friend pick me up this morning and take me to a place he know to go fishing.......thought we were going to colmslie but he had other plans.  Get to his spot and throw the cast nets....i finally worked out how to throw my new 10' with it opening all the time.  Anyway fishing for awhile with no luck about to pack up and change to colmsloe when my rod bends in half. I drop my net and run to my rod   strike and set the drag and im on. 10 mins fighting later and i get my self a river monster. My first threadfin salmon just shy of a meter.20200409_104214.thumb.jpg.4d9c794308c334a688920ce3be036aa1.jpgreceived_228561928257891.thumb.jpeg.8627ebbb9bcfa2731905d68f8897be75.jpeg

    Colmslie 8/4/20

    Well it was a dissapointing trip out 2night with the fam. Started off working the beach at colmslie and got a nice amount of prawns and some livies for bait. But apart from that there wasnt even a bite all night. 3 rods in with 3 different baits and nothing to take them. At least i got a small feed of prawns. Will be back there in the morning to try get some more. Maybe bag out 🤣 

    Here is my catch from 2night.20200409_000423.thumb.jpg.aa0abb37f75a2cb917abb0b21d80da26.jpg

    Hi squeak6969

    I am by all means no expert on them, I've only caught a couple. From what I've heard, threadfin aren't seasonal. The main factors are live baiting (they will take dead baits though), full moons and tides. I have caught them on the run out tide, and while it has not influenced me that much full moons are when you want to aim your session at. 

    Cheers Hamish 🙂 

    You mean like tonights super moon?......guess id better take a big rig to colmslie with me and my cast net. Cheers for the info

    Great report mate,

    Gees you got a good missus there. Hope she is not undersized and you haven't had your bag limit. Don't wanna throw that one back.

    (Hangs head from bad dad jokes... )

    How did the bream go? How did you cook them?

    Defiently not throwing this one back. Shes a keeper for sure. I baked them for dinner 2night.  Me and the missus had 1 each. Was looking at going again 2night but looks a bit windy out so might leave it till 2morrow

    I found the file and uploaded a copy to my server.

    Just click on the link and download it to your desktop and unzip the file.

    It has .usr and .rte files and from memory the .usr should be accepted into your lowrance.

    If not, you should be able to use something like GPSBabel to convert the files to what ever format you want.

    Back up all your current marks onto a SD Card before you add these new ones.

    Thats is awesome mate

     What a great gesture.

    Intresting question. Im not entirely sure on the answer but i do know that generally you dont feed the plastics to the fish. They work like a lure and youbget it back when you reel in the fish. I guess they could be swallowed from time to time though. Be intrestimg to do some research as i hate the waterways being more and more pullouted

    Well the night started off terribly. Dinner was late and i was worried i was going to miss the high.  Luckily for me i have a brilliant missus who fixed everything for us to leave just when i wanted to. Car was packed energy was high and off we went.  Drive round the corner and suddenly the bubble burst and i felt as though my first girlfriend had just dumped me again. The jetty at victoria point was full of people fishing. Not wanting to give up but knowing i have little fuel till pay day we started heading home. As we pull into the driveway.....da dada daaaaaa missus to the rescue again. She says put the fishing gear into my car i have fuel. Spirits lifted once more and off we went to wellington point. Got there at 9.00.....a little late but it had just gone high tide and i was getting pumped. A quick look up the jetty showed quite a few people but there was still plenty of space for us to wet a line aswell. Eagerly we jumped out the car and felt the wind. It was comming on quite strong and i knew the jetty was going to be even worse. But we were there dammit and i wasnt going to let it stop me from my mission. So we jumped back in the car and went to the king island side of the point. Quickly unpacked the car and walked to our chosen spot. Baited my rod with some worms and cast into the great dark abyss. Eagerly wanting to try out my new cast net i ripped it out if its bucket and began wildly throwing into the water.....wow i cant begin to describe how bad i was throwing it. I may aswell have just thrown a rock into the water. Going from a 6' to a 10' net sure means tweaking your throwing style a bit. But after 10 or so throws i was making some decent throws and ended up landing a few of these20200406_214658.thumb.jpg.fde3eff7c4bcd9273fa70bc3c29b249c.jpgpretty happy start. Pulled in my rod, removed the worm and rebaited with one of these little suckers. Re cast and no more than 20 seconds after i had put my rod down did the line start screaming. I ran like hussien bolt grabed my rod and bang set the hook. The fight was on. It was my light 4lb gear on a 1-3kg rod vs whatever had dared to take the bait. Keeping the drag just right to bring him in with a few little runs here and there i finally glimpsed the subltle silver gleam in the pale light. My adrenilin was pumping now. I havent been so excited over pulling in a fish in a long time but here i was dripping with anticipation. Finally the fish was at the wall and i pulled it up and over onto the floor quickly so it wouldnt have a chance to flick free. It was a beauty. Pan sized bream. Havent seen one this big in years.received_723667598168772.thumb.jpeg.33dd5a5bae30fdb8e2a56bb9a6b8fe12.jpeg

    Just hit 33cm. For a bream i was stoked. Straight into the esky and he will be starring in 2morrow nights dinner. After such a rough start to the night i was glad to see a good outcome. Not only did i spare the doughnut but i was taking home a feed aswell. Well the tide was still high and so were my spirits again. Re bait and woosh vast back into the abyss. Rod down go to cast net and bzzzzzzz rod is off again......wow i think i found the magic bait at wello. Grab my rod again and bang hook is good. Reeling in.....then i felt it......u know that feeling where its like the fish just swam into a rock but the hook kept going.....well thats what it felt like to me cause suddenly there was nothing on the other end. Finished reeling it back in, re bait and re cast. I actually got a few throws of my cast net in before the line started going off again. Quickly i dropped my net as i was about to throw it. Grabbed the rod and set the hook again. I had the drag set too loose and whatever was on the end just ran. Quickly tightened the drag and started to get some line back. It was about 10.00 by now and the tide was dropping rather quickly as it does in that area. It was probably only 1 foot deep just below me but i was determined to land this one. It was still a good fight not too dissimilar from my first good fight of the night. But finally i landed my second pan sized bream of the nightreceived_240981673958169.thumb.jpeg.9489409dc5de9ba63bc04bae30c0f15e.jpegreceived_2637455716540393.thumb.jpeg.7825eab8ca8ef3f2f93739d59eccd4a5.jpeg

    this one a good 29cm.

    but with the tide running out it was time to pack it up and head home. Was a good trip in the end and i have a good feed for tomorrow. Now to plan my next trip out.

    Tight lines folks
