  1. Come for a dive with me smart mouth. Perhaps stop being a know-it-all keyboard warrior and come for a real see for yourself look. I’m guessing you’ve never actually been anywhere near this area, and you just like being a troll.
  2. Done those beaches to death, using both locally caught live beach worms and yabbies from the nearby creeks. Never seen a Whiting there yet.
  3. That's really awesome. Got to live whiting, such a delicious little fish. Pity they don't live around Yeppoon area or Central Qld.
  4. All I can attest is areas that I fish and dive (Coastal and offshore waters off Yeppoon) are in my experience, based on current observations and catches compared with that which I experienced 30yrs ago when I first visited here are merely a shadow of what there once were. If you can’t see we’ve completely ruined it your either delusional or have a vested interest (eg pro-fisherman). Apologies for not producing a statistical analysis data plot research paper. 30yrs ago I didn’t think we’d end up this rooted.
  5. Plus there's FA to catch anywhere aslo, like an absolute barren wasteland out there.
  6. I've taken up diving recently and have been taking a look what's actually down there, and I can tell you i was shocked at just how barren many places really are, Including these "godly" green zones. And to be honest I woulnt believe a word Dr Ayling said about anything,
  7. Not in my area, I would call stocks somewhere between scarce & extinct
  8. Occasionally they swim into Yeppoon waters when the water quality is good, which is not very often. They do fight well and have good sharp little teeth.
  9. I've always thought that fragile reef areas, need to be shut like this for about 10 months per year to preserve stocks, otherwise there will be nothing left soon, and its getting very close to it now.. Especially along the Southern Great Barrier Reef from about Mackay to Bundy which has been absolutely flogged to death for the last 40 yrs. Like open it only for a month in Dec and then again in Jun. And Same for those extremely rare Spanish Mackerel which are on the verge of extinction in Qld waters. For both commercial and Rec though.
  10. Absolutely. You get what you pay for, always. Many years ago, I looked at all my tackle and decided to halve the amount of rods and reels I own, but double the quality. And it's served me very well ever since. Not only are high quality reels a pleasure to use and perfectly reliable, they also have extremely good resale value. I predominantly use Daiwa gear as I prefer it over shminano, and when say a new Exist model comes out I pop my old ones on ebay and I usually get almost what I paid for it, then before you know it I have 3 or 4 shiny new ones to enjoy. And I keep this up also with the Saltigas/Certates I use offshore and also the couple of little Luvias I keep for freshwater and trips down south and across to NZ.
  11. I saw this bloke fixes a Samaki easy
  12. I'd avoid Motorguide at all costs, I now call them "Aspros" because they dissolve in water. I had my first one for 2 years, always washed it, never treated it rough, it corroded like crazy, despite being a SW model. They did their best to avoid any warranty. Sold it. The second one cam with a boat I bought, I was reluctant, but gave them another shot, once again, it started to corrode badly with in a few weeks of use. Got it repaired & repainted, sold it cheap, bought a new MinnKota, and 3 years on there is no corrosion and it has been faultless.
