Fishing Victoria Forum

Just got back from a glorious two weeks in Merimbula. Fishing was great and brained plenty of good Salmon and Tailor of the beaches. Unfortunately though I left my surf spin outfit at the resort we were staying at, along with a couple of rod holders. Not too fussed about the rod holders but I want t...

Herein lies the problem with Target One Million

Also said that I think things are getting too crowded out there...finding a quiet fishing spot is becoming a lot harder.

Just a thought. Seems like the little spring is acting like a self tapping screw and has locked the click pin in place. Is it possible to get a pin underneath it to raise it a little so you can get some purchase with a pair of needle nose pliers, then either try unscrewing it or simply just wrench i...

A number of the higher end bream rods from Japan actually have an Ajing pedigree. I’ve dropped a quite a few bucks on bream gear, even though I could just as easily catch them on a Kmart rod and frozen prawn. In no position to judge someone if they want to do the same for Yakkas. Hell, it could even...

Your expectations are way higher than mine Adrian! Fair enough too given your track record. I’m happy if I actually connect to a fish, let alone land it!
