Re: Surf fishing
All you'll need is a light plastics rod/reel and some simple plastics. 7'0", 2-4kg with 6-12lb braid - you can use mono, but you'll find it easier and more effective with braid. Tie on a 10lb leader. Some 3" paddle tail plastics - I like Keitech Easy Shiner 3" in any colour. Use a 1/8oz-1/4oz, #1 or...

Re: Cornacarpio's Cumulative Carp Culling Caper
I don't know how you do it, so jealous! I tried gc yesterday for 2 hours using corn and garden worms for nothing, not even a nibble. Tried a few different spots near station st. Do you keep moving until you see fish or just sit in one spot and hope for the best? It is a relatively tough creek and s...

Re: Common baitcaster vs heavy duty/swimbait baitcaster
Swimbait gear is less to do with the reel and more to do with the rod. The reels which are used for 'swimbaiting' are generally the larger size baitcasters (>150). A common reel used for this style of fishing is a tranx 200. You are right in saying that smaller reels will not handle larger lures as ...

Re: What is happening with Hazlewood?
A few things... They overstocked the barramundi - they ended up putting 10k in there, but I suspect ~1-2k would have been better. The barramundi ate all the Cichlids so the Barramundi had no food left. The barramundi died (mostly). Rumour has it there are still some in there. The power station is st...

Re: Moorabool frustration
When they're like that, try fishing the smallest buzzer or weightless nymph you have. Barely move it with a figure-8 retrieve. Emerger patterns work well too - something like a Klinkhammer #14-20 (just make sure you don't put floatant on the body, only on the sticky-uppy part) In winter, use smaller...

Re: Shimano reel comparisons
Specific jigging reels are pretty easy to spot. They're usually marketed at jigging market - OceaJigger, Daiwa Saltiga BJ (these have Jig in the name). Easiest way to tell is if they're narrow, they're generally for jigging (stops the rod twisting when fighting fish). All the others ones are not pur...

Re: Yarra river Bream on SP's
Fish top of the high, run out being the best. Slightly dirty water is always better IMO. Find shady areas, especially bridges (i.e. wurundjeri way bridge). Any 2-3" paddle or curl tail will work. 1/16th jig head is perfect. Hopped along the bottom is fine - pretty simple fishing. But mostly you'll g...

Re: Gummies at Campbells Cove?
They get them landbased at night off the beach there, so I'd say you'd get gummies all day in 7m+.
Or in close at night.
Any structure, weebed or reefs always helps.
