Attachment 50302
Both great catches caught 1 day apart the second pic was the biggest yella I had seen then trumped by the top picture this morning!
Both fish will be eaten and enjoyed by many.
What a horse that 2nd one is is that a record ? both awesome fish
Just re-spooled with heavier braid bugger this light tackle fishing .
want a 50lb fish use 100lb line LOL skull drag the lips in oh yeah
Why fight it for 5 mins and let it build up Lactic acid, and taste like poo poo lol
My sentiments exactly TD
I have just recently swapped to 20lb braid on all of my reels.
300 mtrs of Dyneema is only $12 or so
every one should be re-spooling.
great cast quality as well ,,,,20lb braid is only .2 of a mm
that's ridiculas

As for your $12 dyneema, it's cheap for reason.
I'm just saying.
Always choose a braid that is near round and not flat, as this cause issues and strain on the line, reel and spool.
Yellow belly that are giant footballs, are not very nice to eat, they have very fatty flesh.Quote:

Great catch. They would have thought they caught a cod.
The young bloke in the first pic thought he was snagged!Quote:

Never had a problem with the dyneema.
its only $12 cause I'm not buying bulk , I don't need to
only enough to do two 4000 series reels,
Id only spool 100lb braid if I was going to Cape York
and up size everything rods etc been spooled too many times with light gear

Bob fishes with the drag locked up, gotta say it works, Bob's 680mm crp was 3.46KG at
current market prices that's $20.72. Carp=$5.99 a kilo, not my cup of tea but each to their own I say
Your mates carp was worth $71.88
who buys carp?
Can I please go with you?Quote:

I haven't been out this year, they were last years early fish.Quote:

I'll try to find my little black book of fishing marks, but these are just marks, you still need to sound around to find them. They have a very distinctive arch on the sounder.
My mother and inlaws always hassle me to get carp for them, but they would never buy any. Tightarse wogs. LolQuote:

9 fish total.
About 200-300 metres off the marker, didn't say which direction though.
Sounding around until you find fish.
Berley, berley. Berley. And keep cubing out pillies

A weird/interesting read.
My mate went out for snapper early this morning in the same vicinity of P2 and didn't even turn a reel.
Caught off Rickets Point this morning in their big 7mtr boat 5 blokes.
Lucky buggers.
Today at work, I found out they had a ball with pinkies to 2kg at Black Rock yesterday.
Bagging out in the first hour and just having fun for the rest of the morning
Does any one know what type of fish this is? I have looked in a few books, but can't seem to find it. Maybe it's a juvenile.
I maybe wrong , but I'm thinking a species known Talipa (spelling maybe wrong ) introduced species , lives in brackish to fresh water ,Quote:

heres some pics looks like they change colour to where they are found

I have found a few pictures of Drummer which have the same body shape, but different markings, so it may even be a hybrid, which occurs quite often according to one book.Quote:
