Re: Large HB's for Reds - PPB shallow

I tried a big rapala once, trolling around port melb in Nov, didn't get any reds, but got big pikes. Whats the 12HB you used for pinkies in 5-8m?

[/quote] I'd go yak fishing when the weather is nice and the water is flat, where normally be a lot of people fishing on piers etc. And fish the piers when the weather is a little rough, less people fishing off piers etc, and unsafe for yak fishing.

Re: Boating ethics

Offshore or landbased - apart from the noise, these things generate constant vibration that travels in all directions. Multiply that by x number of ...
