Re: Gar fishing

Hi Dave, You can get gars all year round and anytime of the day. They can be very mobile so right time and right place is usually the important factor of being successful.

Re: AQUACULTURE GROWTH SUPPLYING FRESH VICTORIAN SEAFOOD

Eventually there will not be any commercial wild caught fish. Farmed seafood in Australia already exceeds wild caught fish by a considerable amount. There is another buy back of Danish sieners and trawlers from the South East trawl sector. It is rapidly becoming cheaper to farm seafood than harvest...

Re: Differing Weather forecast

Check where they get their data from. There's two main weather models used here, a US one and a local one produced by the BoM. Fishranger uses both, this is their explanation: Seeing two winds charts is like getting a second opinion. If there is consensus between the forecast models there is a highe...

Re: What should I spool a Saragosa 8k with to target land-based snapper and gummies?

Grab a roll of whipper snipper cord from Bunnings and spool it up with that.
Then you get a set of pliers and tighten the drag knob until it won’t turn any more.

Then you’ll be all set.

Re: any one have experience with this spin rod?

Could be worth asking if he's still using them and how he finds them, they are a much cheaper alternative I still use them, they work fine. Never had one break although I don't think they're as sticky as Owner ...

Re: Tackleworld

No one bought the stores nor the tackleworld buying group, especially BCF. BUT, Paul had to bury all ties to Tackleworld and his shops hence closing down, as the open secret is he is taking up a media/marketing role with Super Retail Group to become the public face of BCF. Kramer will probably hang...
