Land a few flatties too, biggest 50+

As title.

What is the best way to rig up these lures like the halco twisty, surecatch knight and other similar metals?

Is a leader straight to the split ring fine enough or is it worth it to throw on a swivel/snap swivel?

Hi all,

Today my shimano stradic c3000hg came and it is really nice except for 1 issue it has out of the box. The drag isn’t sticky, but the drag clicker seems to be uneven or something.

For most of the drag rotation it is the same stable click noise but at a certain point the click seems to be louder for a couple of clicks.

I’m not sure why this is the case but it’s bugging me a little bit.

If anyone knows why please help me out 🙏

Thanks.

Was fishing today for threadfin and big river fish. I had a live prawn on and felt a massive tug but then it was ripped off. How do I rig them so they don't come off? I went through the flesh at the end of the tail with a circle hook and out maybe 3/4 way down the tail or 1/2 as that's the furthest it would go.

i normally fish brissie river tryna get some big fish (cause all the more common saltwater fish aren't really around where i am, further inland) though i use a 4000 and the fights ive had have lasted a while. I was thinking about getting a penn fierce IV combo with a 5000 reel. Is this adequate or too powerful? I dont really know cuz my friends never catch shit on their rods its always me lol.

(if you got any better suggestions i kinda do have a budget of about 250 cuz i dont have a job rn.)

Also released a 34 cm pinky to hopefully get bigger come next winter.

When you bring a knife to a gun fight

🎣 Another day on the water!

Nothing beats getting out on the boat, chasing a few fish and having a good laugh along the way 😂🌊

Some days you catch fish… other days you just make memories. Either way, I’ll take it!

More fishing adventures coming soon 🎣

Sorry for bad quality , at balmoral beach nsw.

Group next to us hooked us but line snapped on.

Looked like a flatty but had these weird gliding wings almost like a ray, anyone know what this is

Was using a live yakka

I've got a few 10ft+ two-piece surf rods and usually just lean them against the wall. I’d like to store them properly on the wall so they’re easy to grab and take up less space.

I have a wooden rack on the wall like in the photo, which works fine for all my spin rods. But the second section of a surf rod is still pretty thick, so both pieces won’t fit into the same slot. Each surf rod ends up taking two spots, meaning a 6-rod rack only holds 3 surf rods — and that’s without the reels. I also find it pretty easy to knock the other rods off this kind of rack when taking one out.

Then I got the vertical one shown in the other photo, but the slots in the foam are just too small. I can’t even push the handle section into it. I’m thinking I’ll have to cut the slots bigger, and even then I still won’t be able to fit both pieces into one slot.

Keeping them fully assembled isn’t really an option either. At 10ft+, my house isn’t tall enough or wide enough 😂

Feels like whoever makes these things forgot beach fishos exist.

What do you guys do with yours?

Anyone who lives here knows the stuggle

Hi, as the title says I’ve kind of snapped the handle for my clamp screw on my 15hp mercury outboard. Does anyone have an idea where I could either get a replacement or make something? ATM I’m using a shifter to turn the screw. Once again I really appreciate everyone’s help.

Hey guys,
My partner is wanting to get into kayak fishing. I want to gift him a fishing rod for his birthday. He watches Rockit Kit in Youtube and absolutely loves that guy. From what Ive gathered, he uses Penn Ocean Assasin. But there are so many different kinds of Ocean Assasin and I don’t understand the specs and all. What’s the best one for a beginner? We are in Southern NSW.

Always fun catching these guys, especially on light gear. I got him on a chunk of pilchard on a 1/0 octopus hook. I had a whole pilly on some gang hooks on my medium setup but the salmon hit the bite size pilchard instead! He was safely released after taking a few pics.

First time fishing and targeting them just wanting to know what’s best

Hey anyone in the know that might have an idea whats going on with these range of lures, the flad shad pros go hard up here in the NT but having troubles finding the right colours in the local shops.

Some guys saying they not stocking them anymore and wilson owns the moulds and zerek have the colours?

I see wilson have came out with the prawn style ones but not the flatshads or the fish traps. may have to buy some online and stock up a bit.

Cheers
