Wow, that's a fair trek in your tinny, solo. Conditions looked good, though.

How much juice did you go through

Shoulda said, dad came with me last minute, don't think i'll do it solo for a while.  Just my single 25L tank was needed.  should also add, I'm fully licensed and have all of the safety gear needed and more

bait caster on it Im looking for a reel around the under 400$ mark I know the curado just looking for a more optimal reel for fishing hard bodies in the canals

Maybe one of the Concept 13 reels would be good for you.

yeah i was looking at the slammer 10000 or 10500 i think it was

I was thinking of getting one for land based shark fishing, so if you do get one let me know how it goes.

Get a penn slammer, underrated reel IMO, fully sealed, 9 bb, braid ready not need for backing (tho i always put at least a few wraps on), with a high recovery rate in most models, models 6500 and above you'll get more than 300m of 50 and insane drag, its tough as nails.  If you do end up looking at penn the best reel is the slammer not the ssm or the Authority 

Something like this would be good for it.

Yes, alvey is the go to. The only issue is they're out of stock everywhere at the moment

They haven't been giving stores any stock for a while, but anaconda should still have some combos or individual reels in stock:

It does say out of stock, but i can say for certain that anaconda Morayfield has them at the moment

another reel that i would recommend would be a van staal they are almost invincible, can be dropped in sand, salt water and anything you throw at them.

Flathead, whiting and bream hopefully, maybe a Mac tuna if I get bored

Hey I need some help choosing a rod. As part of my work there are times when I'm at anchor in the bays around the Townsville area. I've been out twice now and there's been baitfish bust ups happening around the boat but I don't have a rod.

I'm after a rod that I can use to throw some lures at to try and catch whatever is hunting the baitfish. I have zero experience with any saltwater fishing as I have only ever fished the freshwater down in country VIC.

I would also like to use this same rod to start doing some land based lure fishing around Townsville. 

I believe the following rods are all pretty similar on paper but I know there's going to be a massive difference when it comes to real life use. Is there a standout or DO NOT touch rod out of them or am I completely off target with the selections? I'm happy to spend up to $250 and will get a reel to match it afterwards.

Nice work mate. Out of interest, how much did it set you back?

4.2k but when you add everything up i got a steal on it.

Looks like a little ripper. Sounds like a bargain with all the extras too. Where are you going to use it ?

Anywhere really, already taken it to pine, D bay and Coochin creek.

Have a look on market place, there are a lot of brand new spooled Stella's for a good price, especially after chrismas when people sell them if they got gifted them.

Another place for you to check out is Coochin Creek up from Donnybrook, you'll get eaten alive by bugs but on the right tides jacks are there.

Hi there, welcome to the form.

Maybe @longhairedwahoo will see this post, i know he does this sort of fishing.

If he doesn't see this here are some of his topics that might have the answers you're looking for.

Good work on the flatties, which side were you on?

Caught one flathead on each side of the bridge and the flounder inline with the jetty at sandstone point

Nice flattie. Some fat fillets. Delicious. How many crabs did you get ? Benno was saying he cleaned up in the Passage the other week.

Did you see many tuna ?

 

3 crabs on Saturday didn’t try on Sunday but the pots were only in for about 2 - 3 hours while we fished.  We saw what we thing was a singular tuna on the way out but nothing else. 

Hi all,

happened to come into some beach rods that I’ll explain in a different topic, any1 know what there worth or want them (gonna put them on market place if no one does)
