Yeah im going to make a taller one for the beach and put some cups on the bottom leg to keep the rods off the floor. Im working on a fitting to mount a torch on it for night fishing.

I purchased the bits and then put it together, its just a prototype, but only cost me $9. Managed to drop my old one off the end of a pier. Reckon this one will float.

Awesome fishing, such a shame they hog the big ones in SA. I wonder how old a fish of that size would be? Could be catching the salmon equivalent of me.

That's a fabulous fish, might have to dust off my fly gear having seen that. Well done.

Interesting to hear Gav, fairly sure pat hooked a thresher near merricks last time I was there. Bit through the line before it was landed but it looked like a thresher when it jumped in the breakers I had a screaming run there on Friday but it dropped the bait just as i was going to set the hook. H...

Went to have a look today and it suprisingly wasnt rammed. Mind you didn't see anything caught either so there may be a reason for that!

Not really for a running rig you cant

Haha good point! I still reckon I could retie a rig just as quickly.

Nothing wrong with using a sounder, but fish move i often wonder how often you are fishing where the fish were and not where they are now. I still think you are better off learning where and when to fish and drawing more fish to you than doing 40 knots between gps marks in the random hope a fish is...

Nah actually being good at something disqualifies you from politics.
