  1. Good work Leeroy, I'm planning on trying for some landbased this Winter.
  2. Good work Ray, those are some solid fish.
  3. Is anyone else getting this message when you try and use the search function, or go to forum activity (as well as a few other things?) I can still see topics through Browse, and then Forum. Cheers Hamish
  4. Murray Cod fishing?
  5. Thanks everyone. Charlie, the jewie was pretty good but I still prefer thready. And no, I didn't cook the toady lol.
  6. Try doing an overhead cast instead of a side cast if you're not doing that already, I've found that helps me sometimes.
  7. Hi all On Saturday I headed out with @Thorbjorn Hale and a couple other of my fishing mates to a spot we were hoping to catch a threadfin or jew. I arrived by 5:30AM and Thorbjorn was there shortly after. Bait was a bit slow but eventually he got a few herring on a bait jig and I got a couple small schools as well as silver biddies in the cast net. It didn't take long before I was on the first fish of the day, a dirty toadfish. Thorbjorn and I then had a double hook up on some rowers, which were pretty fast and tricky to stop. Eventually, the hooks pulled, and we sent our lines back out. The bite was pretty quite, and Thorbjorn pulled in a small toady which dropped off towards the jetty. We had a few livies now though, so just waited and waited for a bite. After a couple hours with no real action (well into the run out), some idiots in a Go Boat ran over four of our lines, costing us a fifty-hundred metres or so of braid each. This was very annoying, and even though they heard me tell them they were going to run over the lines, they kept going and didn't even stop straight after. We rerigged and got our lines back out, still hopeful of a bite. As the sun started to come out a bit more, and the tide slowed (somewhere around midday), Andrew picked up his rod and held it for a minute. Sure enough, the next thing we heard was his reel singing, and after a decent fight going under the jetty with a few runs, and a good dilly job by Thorbjorn, we had a 94CM jewie on the jetty. Nice! We tried releasing it, but the fish didn't vent and just floated there exhausted. This wasn't and issue though, because Andrew was happy to keep it. We continued fishing, and after filleting the jewie a bit later we decided to cook some up on the BBQ. After eating the fish, we went back to the jetty and sent out some more baits. We didn't get any more bites though, and after giving the jetty a quick clean we called it quits for the day at about 3:30PM (I think Thorbjorn stayed a bit longer). Here are the stats of the trip: Stats: Tide: 4:10, 2.5M, High, 11:10AM, .7M, Low Moon Phase: Third quarter phase, decreasing Bait Caught: Live herring and biddies. Bait Used: Live herring mainly. Fish Caught: I caught a toady, 1 * jewie caught. Tackle Used: I used a Okuma Coronado 5500 on a SIlstar Crystal Powertip rod, an Shimano Aero 6000 on a surf rod, and a Shimano Baitrunner DC on a Kmart rod. 30 pound braid and 50 pound leader, circle hooks, size 4 sinkers. Air Pressure: 1021 Humidity: 73% Overall Success Rate: 50% - good to see a solid fish come in Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed. Thorbjorn may have a photo of the fish he can put up if he wants. Cheers Hamish
