Re: How do you store your rods in your boat?

Way to go Tiger :thumbsup: It is a great way to store rods in a modest sized boat without impeding the deck area. And a cost effective solution too :) A mate has a similar size boat but has the Bimini Bar type, and they are angled over the deck area , , , , every second cast you end up hitting the ...

Re: Squid rig set up

Just a very small tip.. use a small clip so that you can quickly change jigs without having to re-tie any knots if you want to go for a different colour. Most of the time I find it's quicker to tie a knot than **** around with pliers trying to open the little bastard 'ez' clip things Use your finge...

Re: Awesome fishing action at Black Rock Video

I think you have inspired me for my next trip out next Monday hopefully (although the early forecast isnt looking too good). I have never really had much luck with soft plastics, but having said that i also haven't really used them from the boat. Mostly just shore based. So i followed up on this po...

21.5.19 - Beaumaris to Williamstown

Just got back from a pretty uneventful trip. Launched from Newport just before first light and powered straight down to Ricketts Point in an effort to replicate The Big Al's post from the other day. There was a forecasted 20kmh northerly blowing and some slight chop, less than half a metre. I sounde...

Re: Squid Cleaning Tool

I am a chef and can clean a squid pretty fast, but even i use a scaler bag behind the boat. I pull the head off and keep the tentacles for bait as needed, cut a small section off the end of the tube to allow water to flow through and place them into a cheap green scaler bag, then i put that into my ...

Re: This is good stuff.

Masterfoods lemon pepper seasoning mixed with flour isnt bad either. My favourite is to cut the tube in half and lightly score in a crisscross pattern and cut into triangles about an inch or so wide. Heat a pan and add a teaspoon or so of coconut oil. When its smoking hot throw in the calamari and t...

Re: Squid reccomendations

I fish with 3.0 jigs pretty much 100% of the time. And i base my initial choice of colour on the water clarity and light conditions. On a clear...
