MAN TO BE CHARGED FOR ILLEGAL ABALONE HAUL 92 times over than the daily bag limit which is 5 abalone per person. 420 of the caught fish were also under the legal minimum size of 10cm. Death by couta insertion. Tail first. Auction the right to lube him up then donate all the money to a marine conser...

Thanks guys, that was really helpful. Gone with the 50lb Tasline on this one and moved to 40lb on the Ultegra 5500 (with 30lb on the 4000) so I have pretty good coverage now. 30lb and 50lb fluoro leader options so I think I'm set. Appreciate your help. Any other piers in PPB a chance for kings? Thi...

Not joking.

This is from 2018/19

Also, since I don't live there anymore and nobody ever actually did this with me other than Cam.... Grab a bait pool, squid sorrento jetty and keep some live squid alive, then drift them off the jetty on a low tide between 7 and 10 am. Rip the biggest shiniest popper you can back and forth around wh...

I had a look at the heavier version of that one as something I could break down and put in a backpack for climbing into spots. It seems like pretty good value for money but I haven't fished with one.

thanks for the detailed response dougiek, i target flathead, salmon, basically anything that would be around piers. Hey i'm not on here that often anymore. Honestly, you don't need livebait for what you're doing. The only two things I'd really consider livebaiting in VIC would be a Jewie or a Kingf...

Currently considering the PA 108 of these for a bonnie / salmon / tailor / beach casting setup.

Be interested to hear from anyone who's had one.

What are you live baiting for? A live yakka / slimey / pike / squid is ideal for kingfishing, but i'm not sure what else you'd be targetting except maybe a jewie with a mullet. Yakka - berley the hell out of it and put a tiny bit of fish flesh on an unweighted hook and whip it into the berley trail....
