Well after a great session yesterday I came home set my rod down in the garage and came back the next day only to find out it had been stepped on by someone and snapped.... Its was the 7' bream crank 1-5lb and its by far the best rod I've ever used. But after some searching online I've been unable t...

Re: Brighton flounder!

I've never done spearing nor caught a flounder. Sounds like fun. How deep do you generally wade and spear?

Re: Flathead spearing

I'm on the other side of the bay so can't give you a spot over your side but I waded in the shallows during the day and saw a couple of small flounder so maybe give that a shot. I've checked out a couple of threads here that talk about finding flounder along a good length of the bay (mordi -> seafo...

Some nice trout there :tu: was the water high and fast?
Can be tricky to fish in that condition.

Re: Am I unreasonable?

Today there was a break in the weather and I finally got out on the water Yay!. So I am anchored up waiting for a bite and a couple of guys come within 30m or so on the plane before slowing, then they get about 10 yards away and shout "how you going, getting any fish". This pissed me off and I told...
