Re: Surf/Jetty spinning setup advice
Case in point - see how Alex handles the rod, the butt is almost always under his armpit: https://youtu.be/ll9mSXoxAuQ I'd think this wouldn't be too comfortable with lures? On the yak, I have ~6'6" rods and use wrist to work the lures... Maybe I just don't get it :oo: Yeah, no I'm with you there. ...

For Surf Fishing go a 12 Ft, prevails are good , and i would recommend a minimum sized 5000 reel, If a NASCI is in your budget great, if a shimano Ultegra 5500 is even better.Longer / heavier ro...

Re: Surf/Jetty spinning setup advice
I think you're spot on with your experience about seeing the advantage of a slightly longer rod ~9ft to punch out some plastics, metals, or just just generally when you're bait fishing. You'd ideally want some light, comfortable in the hand if you're flicking plastics, metals, etc that is sensitive...

Surf/Jetty spinning setup advice
G'day everyone, I went surf fishing for the first time the other day and had an absolute ball. I was using my current 7ft 2-4kg Shimano Symetre setup and managed to catch a fair few. I was however limited in my casting distance, only able to get about 10-15 metres out or so. This brings me to my que...

Re: Any okay spots near the Brunswick area?
For other freshwater species, you gotta drive a bit. How far are you willing to travel? Hey Sebb, thanks for your reply! That's a shame, ideally anything around 30 minutes would be great, under an hour would still be pretty good too though. I'm open to getting into saltwater stuff if the spots are ...

Any okay spots near the Brunswick area?
Hey everyone, I just moved to Brunswick from Gippsland and am looking for some new places to go fishing nearby. I love targeting trout and redfin/bass with soft plastics and hardbodies so I'm open to anything. I know people catch fish out of estates but I'm completely lost of where to even start loo...
