Just purchased another boat and looking forward to getting out with my son to annoy some fish again. The Botany Bay airport runway is one of my favorite spots, and used to produce some good bream at times, also drifting the beachfront usually produced good whiting. Can anyone tell me if the 2SM radio fishing show is still on early each morning?
My neighbour invited me out for a spot of salmon trawling and I picked up this beautiful Pike.

Got a carp, a Tench, a Redfin and a couple short tail eels. http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...018/09/103.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...018/09/104.jpg
Not bad for new spot that we found by accident.

Went to Lake Keepit over the weekend chasing Golden Perch. Caught 2 bloody carp on lures & 2 Murray Cod, also on trolled lures - cod season closed 2 weeks ago so came home with no fish.

Great relaxing long weekend away on the Mighty Murray. Best we came up with though was feeding the little bait thieves nibbles unfortunately at our hole opposite camp.

So what are you supposed to do if you catch a COD and have to kill it to remove hook or lure?Quote:

.......Stop fishing for life Mudski mate and hand your GU over to fisheries :-) ! Honestly never had to slaughter a fish to get a hook out or just cut the line as close as possible. Them freshwater hooks will rust soon enough and Cod have massive IC bonnet scoops to eat on going!
EDIT: Bait fishermen, single hook only usually for us mob!
EDIT #2: @mudski old mate, take your pick of the multitude of push-pull hook removers available these days, most can be done with fencing wire too bloke!

I like Phils option better. I'm a simple man and use pliers. Usually their throat and half their guts will come out with the lure.Quote:

Fines are too heavy to risk keeping them.
Had some fun a few weeks back on the squid. http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum.../2018/10/3.jpg
Didn’t get many but scored a nice one.
Was trying for whiting but got zip.
Beautiful sunny Vic arvo, finally gave the Tinny a Spring clean out and thorough wash.
Completely forgot I purchased one of these rippers back in our early saltwater days.

COMPULSORY LIFE JACKET TRIAL HAS BEGUN 🌊
Rock fishers at Salmon Holes have been afforded a one month grace period before fines will be handed out for not wearing life jackets.
A 30-month trial, requiring anyone on the rocks at Salmon Holes to wear a type one life jacket started on January 1.
Since 1983, 13 people have died after being swept off rocks at the site.
Nathan Harrison, from the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, says from February, people will face fines of up to two-hundred dollars.
"Fisheries officers will be down there, so that anyone found without wearing a life jacket will be subject to a penalty of $200 in the first instance for a fist offence."
