3AW Rumour File

Would a couple of shopping trolleys actually hold fish tho?? Would it be big enough to keep them around??
Would of thought you’d need 50 of the bloody things to make a decent structure

in the Spencer gulf there are a fair few private reefs. some I understand may only be a few bricks.

But would it be worth the massive stuff around to dump 1-2 trollys tho? Wouldn’t imagine a lot of fish setting up stumps and hanging around indefinitely or maybe iam wrong maybe I need to get down to Woolworths this weekend for a spot of trolley shopping :rofl:

2x trolleys x5 trips would get a good reef going. Quite easy for the yocals!

Been told in tbe early days. People carried out shopping trolleys. Fridges. Tyres. Washing machines and stuff like that and dumped them in tbe bay.

I know of an estuary that has a Ford dash dumped in there.

I believe Chelsea 13m is pretty much man made..

As was explained to me one day. Imagine throwing 50 people into a large empty factory. Where are they going to congregate? What if you bolt a table and a couple of chairs in the middle of the factory? Where would the group congregate then?

Ppb is a big soup bowl with not a whole lot going on. A bit of structure that over time turns into reef on what is otherwise a sandflat has a better chance of holding fish than open water.

Most charter operators will bounce from dump to dump marking fishing along the way.

Tbe best one i know is the 5 dime. Reef only a few kms off werrible south.

Its made up of washing machines that lou grorichich dumped there over a decade.(hes passed away now but he use to repair washing machines around the western subs)

Its been fantastic for nice snapper at the end off the season

There would be hundreds off these in ppb

I know of a reef in ppb made up of shopping trolleys

Rumoured to have been put there by a well known charter boat owner, or is this another one?

Does the charter operators name happen to rhyme with fat blunt?

[Born2fish]

My mate sunk hes dads boat for a reef when he passed away hes dads wishes was boat to be laid to rest at hes fishing spot and hes ashes spred over the boat before sinking
He went to water police and vfa asked for permissson before dieing they gave the ok for the zone cause its in more then 13m so wont cause a hazard and due to the fact a dieing wish
So the deal was motor removed fuel tank and all other parts juat the shell of the glass boat left
We went out was a sad day man tears and all my mate (life jacket on and rope to be safe ) hopped in hull said hes good byes spred ashes then removed bungs and jumped in police vessle watched her go down gps marked it and we now fish it so in a way he fishes with hes dad if you get what i mean
Out of respect i dont fish it with out him but we never see anyone fish it witch is good in away
Lets just say hes dad has hlepped us from down there get some cracking reds
Out of respect i will not disclose the location or mark if you can understand but yer under specal reasons they do allow it in controlled siatuations
