I hardly use bait anyways. But bad for katsumoto.
Wanna take the boat out at eak? Lol

Had it for a while. Needed a service. Was in London 3 years and it sat in Sydney for the duration. Mate brought it back to kl. general service la. besides, even using it saltwater, I hardly wash it. Bad habit.

$12. Heh
Line roller bearing was corroded. He changed it for me. Locked my drag up too. The uncle is cool. He's seen me come in and go for years.

On!

6:30?

We meeting at the fishing place right? Not main entrance?
Ps - The main entrance is same as Skytrex?

Hantu? Oddly my friend refuses to go Taman Negara for the exact same reason...lol
PM sent

Unlucky katsumoto. Nvm. If good maybe go Sunday too? Haha

Interesting new fish. Hmmmm

Zero...0....nothing lol

At least Viox caught a Tarpon. Conditions was not ideal and overall EAK was pretty quiet today. Before I left Nik said he was going to chum the water with crickets. Kumanosuke stayed on. Hope it improved and he got on to something.

Saw the Flutterstick that Viox talks about. Man looks decent. Think it'll be fun at Uncle Benny's place with that...

The fly fisher?

No electric motor bro hehe

anytime la....I'm guessing you guys work weekdays? Going from our area is much faster

you went all day? Yeah I know what that feels like haha was it hot?
Whats the biggest? Good fun aye?

as with most plactics slow retrieve works best.
paddle tails, minnows and worms you can flick or raise the rod then retrieve let it sink and stop. repeat.
have fun

mate how much did you pay for CWS? day trip right?
do u get to use the facilities etc?

if it's not discounted?

Did you say Bream??? lol I know a thing or two about bream.
Where bouts in Melb? Moving towards summer....you get the bigger ones in winter. but they're more active in summer. They'll even take poppers hehe

As for plastics go there and have a look at the fishing shops man. Central Melb CBD has a fair few of em. Malaysia's range is quite pathetic compared to what they have. Get little crawdads or prawns. They work well. Got one's that look like bugs too and they work as well. Easier to cast too if it's windy. Worms are good. You can get 4" and trim it to suit your jighead. How you work them is important. With the shrimps etc you twitch a few times and let it sink. Then stop. Stop! lol if you see your line move or dart left to right means a bream has got it. Tarik and set the hook. With worms. Cast let it sink. Lift your rod and wiggle it. Let it sink....and STOP. haha. Watch your line as well. Chances are you'll hook onto a few Tailor as well as the water will still be coldish. Watch the teeth and they will decimate your grubs.

Snapper.....nothing beats bait for snapper. You can use worms but it'll be picked off too fast. To fish snapper effectively a boat would be ideal. Heavy jigheads too to get lower on the water column. But like I said. Bait works better. And if you're going for good sized Snapper it'll be probably rocks/ledge fishing outside of the bay. Take caution before you go (highly advisable) you don't go as it's the most dangerous form of fishing. Fair few deaths every year. I've almost been swept in once. Within less then a second I had sea water as high as my chest. Lucky I had cleats and jammed my rod in a rock crevice. Be very careful and never turn your back to the sea.

Get some grubs have fun with the bream if they on the chew. If not St Kilda Wharf I believe is a decent spot to fish. If all else fails. Go Trout fishing I think the season is about to close if not already. Best check first.

Bream, Whiting and Flathead will be your bread and butter in Melbourne unless you head to deeper water or out of the heads. Flathead is good eating. Just be careful of the spikes on the side of the head. Very painful.
Anything weird, too colorful or spiky. Cut your hook off and release it. Aust has 8th of the 10 world's most dangerous creatures. Blue ring octopus is one of them.

I"m not sure about Victoria but I think it has been implemented. You WILL need a fishing licence. You can get day passes from their website. http://www.dpi.vic.gov.au/fisheries/recrea...fishing-licence
Also please please please do take into consideration bag limit's and legal size. Yes there is legal size (minimum size) in Oz. Any undersize fish is $2000 per fish. So bear this in mind. And it is strictly enforced.

All else fails....go on a charter man! haha I did when I was there. Great fun. Salmon after salmon after salmon. (winter) Enjoy your holidays buddy

What about One Fathom Bank? Looks like a great concept

How much is the eupro rod? I'm looking for a jigging saltwater rod too.

Defeats the purpose then lol
Think I need a 1-3 or 2-4 casting rod for my Saltist (30lb braid)
Might as well wait now as the Sailfish season is closed. and see whats new next year

Added on October 15, 2012, 8:18 pmYeah i got one with a bump too. Didn't realise thats the male.
Didn't use poppers? I'm a big fan of poppers and visual fishing. And these PB's hit it with gusto man.

---

Added on October 15, 2012, 8:19 pmYeah I'd be keen man. As I was trying to organise but finding info on the net about how too is like drawing water from stone.
