Hey fellas, Thought I would get this up, either to make you jealous or so you could live vicariously through me. I didn't post it, but about a month ago I bugged out of Melbourne, back to Adelaide. Working from home anyway, had some incidents in our apartment building, bla bla. So we did our isolati...

Howdy folks, Before Christmas, I set out on a mission of rehabilitating my gear and getting a bit more serious. I have done plenty of land based in Melbourne, boat trips when I was back in Adelaide, trips way down the coast, up in the rivers and reservoirs around town. I settled on a few things I li...

Very detailed there. I honestly rather use multi piece travel rods than telescopic rods. I know there are good telescopic rods out there, but the 'usual' are not that good, especially the guides, pretty much just glued. And after few slides (and usually get knocked), the guides come off. Also, mult...

Nice report and detailed breakdown aimless - cheers. I don't mind the cheaper Aliexpress lures and tackle, after a while of scanning and a few dud purchases you can get like for like brand quality stuff at a fraction of the price. Haven't ventured into rods or reels - too skeptical on it. Yeah, I h...

Woohoo , , , , PB Squid :tu: Another great report Aimless, and a good productive session , , , , nothing less with you :gj: I'm similar, I prefer to boil the crabs , , , , eat them or dd them to a dish and cook them in the dish, already cooked. A bloke in SA has aa awesome crab cake (patties) recip...

Just a question. The wife (at the time) and I spent a week down at Marion Bay, great area the bottom of the foot. Took the Skimmer and had a ball with the vast variety of fish and the torpedo size squid too . Question. There's a bloke there (John from memory who has two sons but my memory does fail...

Well, I was keen for a fish yesterday and didn't have much time, so I headed out with my twisty line. Ended up with a great big birds nest of course! Decided to snap it off and realised I've done that so many times that I've run out of line pretty much. Still, enough for a long cast. Hooked the mons...

Great that you had some success and as far as it being a "Monster", well , , , , a little "re-do" of the photo can easily fix that :-D Some of those Coles "mini" things might be worth having in your Tackle Bag for "enhancing" fish sizes in photos :-D Cheers, Bugs :rf: :rf: Too funny mate. You are r...

Howdy folks, My new bag arrived after much waiting (I think like two or three months even?) Corona slowed things down. It's a Tsurinoya fishing bag from good ole Aliexpress. I have been going on about Ali on a few threads. Sometimes I am just after cheaper gear, but in this case it's the only place ...

I have bought jigs from Dinga, no complaints. Lately I've been using this site, Asian Portal Fishing, for some Japanese niche gear https://au.asian-portal.shop/. Absolutely sucks to navigate but they have great stuff, better prices than any other JDM store I've seen (except maybe Amazon Japan) and t...
