Fishing now that cricket is over for some its time to go fishing just thought i would ask if anyone knows what on the bite and where any good GPS spots to share also be good to get some pics and some good tips on bait and takle used

Southern end of Sellicks Bch has seen some nice sized (8-12 pound) snapper. Landed off the beach, believe it or not. There's a nice little bombie there, not far from the sign.

Moved to "Other Sports"

Yep, hear there are plenty of Squid going on south of adelaide..... And the annual mullet run has started big time in the Coorong...

Me? I'm heading up the mighty murray this weekend for some Callop fishing.....

I am a horrid Fisher man.

Everything I catch I return to the sea.

I have an idea to eat beautiful fresh fish,

but when I land them I think this guy has a MUM.

I stick to Coles Deli, Tasmanian deep sea bream...

YES, I am an IDIOT...!

West lakes has been very quiet for me Fly fishing it .But am going along to check out SAFWAA day at West lakes this Sunday.

I did try the Port river late yesterday afternoon but with a 20 knot wind almost blowing in the water .and constantly hitting my back pack and the back of my head with my fly I went home
umm no fish caught I scared a few big bream .

micky do u tie your own flies?

Yep I try and tie my own (just been given my second fly vice this one is fantastic)
Been toying with a foam Popper fly then the fish disappeared.
Last Bream I caught was on a Bass gurgler fly(surface fly) i tied a couple years back (had a couple of schoolies hit it once they each lasted about 5 seconds on it before they spat it) .In two weeks I had about 45 small bream leap out of the water and try and eat that Gurgler only had 5 hook ups .
Mainly catch Bream largest so far is only 28cms caught a 26cm Bream on that damn hot saturday a few weeks back.And when i can find them Salmon trout love fighting them on my 6 weight .
And when I'm hunting st's schoolies bob up(not attacking the gurgler) and break me off .great heart starters damn annoying to keep losing them.
I dont tie traditonal flies they are abit beyond me .but there's some talk of a fly tying club starting up on strike and hook .i may go along for a look.always looking at more flies to use in the salt .

Before Jas tells me off for no reports .Haven't had any luck for a few weeks .but I am about to go on holidays so hopefully i will get some more fish .And more pictures .

cheers

Or u could wade the beaches of west Lakes watch for schools of bait fish.Put a bait fish imitation fly amongst them and if the Salmon or ST or schoolies are feeding .hold on to your fly rod
Fake fur from spotlight something that looks like eyes the right size hook Bobs your uncle .

was thinking of wading from taperoo beach to north haven.until i read of 1 1/2 to 2 metre pointer hanging around the break water.

Plus unless u use scent (not saying i do or dont) flies dont smell or attract european wasps .

berry bay is a cracker of a place!
why go there instead of browns carey???

Plenty of garfish and KG's around at Edithburgh at the moment especiially between Sultana Point and the island, Ace and myself depleted the stocks over there a few weeks back. Mullett are firing in the Coorong and have been since Christmas and there are that many crabs at Thompsons Beach at the moment swimming in with the tide in the afternoon its not funny. Me and mate ended up with 80 pearler Blueys in just over an hour, threw back prob three times that many too. Good way to spend an arvo.

there are some big snapper on the barges off sullies my mate got a 1 metre one thursday night while i was at cricket training bastard

Think I might head down to Wirinna next weekend always good for a feed of squid and some Garfish.........Always work a pop for some whiting and maybe a shark or two!!!!!
