Re: Stony Pier

Nice catch of the pinkie snapper. I'm thinking of heading one of the nights this week on high tide for a gummy. Haven't tried properly for gummy so was wondering what rig suits.

Stony Pier

Had my first trip out in ages. Weather was awesome so thought I'd give it a go even though it was middle of the day.

Re: Underwater Fish Camera

There is a specialist one called a water wolf, can be configured to be a trolling cam or for bottom fishing. Think it starts around $200. There are some films on it on youtube.

That’s a cracking fish. Over the metre is fantastic, especially out of the yak. Still chasing my second one.

Re: float fishing

Re: Float fishing and circle hooks

When you floatfish you have to have the rod in hand or very near. Its only if you leave the bite that you get gut hooked fish. I put everything back and thats one of the reasons I like float fishing, also im a lazy b@stard so hate constant lure casting.

Prawn under a small float works. Will be tough landing one there, so many pylons and things to snag on.
