anyone catching fish?

A lot of people at portsea in the evenings going for either gars, or maybe some mackerel (didn't take a close look). They were smashing them since peak high was about 30 mins after sunset, just off the little pier section on the RHS as you get on the pier.

Well done! Good to eat and great bait. What do you plan to do with the squid? I usually eat the hood and keep the head as bait for snapper season. Well we essentially ate all of it - I was planning on keeping the head, but I tend to prefer using smaller heads for bait (since it's more of a hassle t...

Makes me want to get Emeraldas rod.
How much diff is the Emeraldas and the Emeraldas MX? The MX is like $100 more.

oo I reckon it's worth the jump. I went into a store and the emeraldas is definitely a bit thicker, and I just felt like the MX was the way to go.

Went away for the weekend down to Sorrento, brought my gear thinking I'd try to hit up some new spots that I'd never fished before and explore the area. Just got some new tackle - Emeraldas MX 86ML and MX 2508-H-DH reel - so itching to break them in. My last few posts have all been donuts, actually ...

Anyone know?

I've had three of the Emeraldas Interline rods - from MX 83MLI to now Stoist AGS 83M and they've been awesome. Great fun on salmon too when they come through Nice one! I've been looking around for them and found this store https://www.tumomart.com the prices seem a bit too good to be true though...

nice work - have never given that pier a shot, seems like it'd be worth a visit

where did you get all this info from? These are not the Australian models listed. The local market only has the Emeraldas(base model with brading X blank) Emeraldas MX (next level up with HVF blank) and Emeraldas AGS models (SVF blank and AGS guides) Emeraldas Interline and the V are JDM models, th...
