Thanks guys for the feedback

For sure agree the sieena is a great reel as I own the FD 1000, not the new one though as im quite sceptical with the materials and how it feels.

But should just buy the fe sieena, its pretty enough!

Thanks again

Saw this thread and thought I might contribute to it...

So here we go!

Product: Shakespeare Tidewater 2000

Type: Spin Reel

Price: $75.99

Quality: Poor Quality - Drag is rubbish, clunky to wind the handle, handle becomes loose after a few retrieves, but the handle knob is fair.

Experience: Only used it once - caught a couple bream on it fine in close quarters, then started using it on the flats where long casts where needed. And the problems begun, the spool would begin to lock-up on the reel with a loose drag, the bail arm and handle begun to come loose after punching long casts out and putting pressure on the reel trying to get some flathead in made the spool lock-up even worse..

Rating: 1/5 - Complete lemon for that price, don't buy it! not worth it

Ideal Match-Up Rod: Nothing! Leave it in the glass box at the tackle store.

Wow thats a good report. Very well written, easy to read, want to keep reading it, did you get straight A's in english at high school?!

Those sorts of creeks can always lead to suprises and change a boring weekend into one you'll won't forget in quite some time!! 

Great Job

hello northside chic

I have been fishing over at bribie island recently on the surf side and got plenty of whiting and  dart. A good spot to catch some whiting that I know of is at woorim near lions park which is a semi-surf beach which fishes good on rising or falling tides anytime from 6am - 12pm and if kids get bored fishing they can swim on this safe beach (never ever been caught in a rip here), use beachworms live or preserved on a short shank hook with a 1ball or 2ball sinker. I don't know anything about crabbing there but probbley the Bongaree jetty might have some.

hope this helps
