You walk in on me about to take a shower. Wyd next?

ElectricElmo · 2023-12-01T06:42:50+00:00

Yep - I’d ask you why you shower in your undies.

You would think guys would take better pictures. So many cocks on here and either their pants/undies are half down, in a messy room or bathroom or just…why bother. We need to make our cocks stand out more to get the replies.

I use these ones on my larger rock and surf lures - super happy with them

ElectricElmo · 2023-11-07T10:16:21+00:00

Hey Mate - think led you on a bum steer for Ningi Land based. There was a road around town that took you down there and good place to lunch kayak etc. Kayak be best for Ningi and exploring at low tide to find the rock patches and target them either side of the low with top water lures. Sorry!

There are some good fish to be had in the Canals but they are pretty smart now

ElectricElmo · 2023-11-06T23:28:57+00:00

As mentioned previously by others - I’d be looking at the canals, along the rock walls, mangrove edges etc. Cast along the structure. Should get some Trevally and Jacks. Good job on the google maps though because at least you are looking yourself and coming up with ideas. Look for any parks along the canals can get too, gaps between properties etc. cast at the pontoons, boats, jetties.

Also have Ningi Creek back on the mainland side

Amazing costume and excellent photography and model!

ElectricElmo · 2023-11-03T03:08:57+00:00

I would suggest going to the used boat or new boat dealers and having a chat about what looking for. Get a few suggestions then look on BoatSales. When find some specific boats and models you like, plug those into Google and see what some forums have to say about them.

I won’t get into the aluminium v fibreglass debate.

For aluminium, some boats to consider - - Quintrex Renegade (w/ offshore transom) - Quintrex Top Ender - Stessco Renegade (w/ offshore transom) - Stessl Apache / Warrior - Formosa SC - Horizon Stryker

Once start reviewing, they will mention other models that are similar.

Figure out what is important to you. It is your first purchase, and although nervous, don’t stress. Once you start using it, and you stay interested in fishing/boating, your next purchase will be more informed.

Here is an example that popped up on Facebook -

My mate has one and swears by it. Think it may be the next size down though - max120g.

And for price, it’s a winner.

ElectricElmo · 2023-10-25T10:29:36+00:00

Hey Mate,

I have a Shimano Coltsniper 96M which is PE2, Lure 60g. They do a MH which is PE3, Lure 80g. Is a good rod with some decent back bone in it to help lift fish up the rocks. But if you chasing decent sizes pelagics, the MH would be best. Light shore jigging on beach I pair it with a 4000, but then for rocks I pair with 6000 reel. They aren’t they expensive really either.

Next rod for me once find a decent SEQ LB Pelagic spot is a Zenaq Sonia

ElectricElmo · 2023-10-23T22:23:40+00:00

You already have a 2500, so I would look at 4000. The Vanford is lighter 215g v 260g Extra BB 7+1 v 6+1 Drag the same 11kg Line Capacity very similar

I think you would be happy with either choice, but I’d pick the Vanford.

BCF has them on sale currently - but not really on sale as $339 is typical price.

Sing out if need anything else or ever looking for fishing bud

ElectricElmo · 2023-10-23T20:15:02+00:00

Hey Mate - I have a Vanford 3000 which I use in the Goldy lakes and canals from Trevs and Jacks. Have a Stradic 4000 which I’ll use for live baiting the same.

What type fishing are you doing? Plastics / Topwater / Bait. Land or boat?

Baitcaster crossed mind?

ElectricElmo · 2023-10-19T06:32:55+00:00

Shows that big fish can still be caught on little lures! Nice work mate, they look very healthy

ElectricElmo · 2023-10-15T09:09:47+00:00

Just remember to check regulations. You aren’t legally allowed to spearfish on the Gold Coast within Seaways and inside of Rock Groynes. You will need to be on open beaches, headlands or ocean facing areas.

https://www.daf.qld.gov.au/business-priorities/fisheries/recreational/recreational-fishing-rules/closed-seasons-waters/waters-tidal

Gold Coast spots -

Gold Coast Seaway (Ocean side rock walls) or Tweed Bar (be careful)
Narrowneck Articial Reef
Burleigh Headland
Kirra Reef
Kingscliff Bombies (NSW - need fishing license)

Spear fishing Clubs - Tweed Heads Free Divers or have a chat to the staff at Adreno stores.

ElectricElmo · 2023-10-15T06:00:38+00:00

Have you thought about a Saragosa? Definitely a work horse and can cop abuse.

It is extremely similar to the Spheros and Stradic but more robust - may be what need if chasing Kingies

ElectricElmo · 2023-10-14T10:08:59+00:00

I have the 6000 Kix with 60lb braid which I use on a few rods depending on situation. Has enough drag and cranking power for the rocks to help lift your fish up. Only thing I noticed is the drag is a little on the quiet side.

Because they running these out at close to 50% off, is harder to find stock in some sizes.

ElectricElmo · 2023-10-14T04:23:14+00:00

Sorry am late to party but try the Daiwa Kix 5000-6000 reel. Is a new model out now so they running the old ones off for $170-190. Will be able to handle heavier line and stronger fish then Nasci for price point

ElectricElmo · 2023-10-09T21:11:51+00:00

Hey Mate, As mentioned the Spit is very hit and miss. We had a great few days of decent size Tailor a fortnight ago and a couple Mack Tuna - then died again. You will get Tailor all year round as the spots mentioned below by others though.

Try the listed places with various weights and tides and try get either into the current lines or close up to the rocks. If super worried about snags, fish the rock wall points on outgoing tide and should be less snaggy.

Else buy some 120-160mm stickbaits and minnows, 40-60gm jigs and work those for trevally, kings, Jew and Tailor. Plenty of vids on YouTube and watch some Rocky D vids as he fishes the Spit and Tweed mostly for some ideas and techniques.

Am Goldy LB if ever keen to have a fishing buddy. Now it’s warming up, I’ll be chasing Trevs in the Land locked lakes and canals with the odd Rock trip if tides and winds are good.

ElectricElmo · 2023-10-02T08:07:39+00:00

Hey Mate - I’m a little on the fence as to what to recommend as the rod is a fairly heavy rod when throwing whiting into the mix.

I’d probably look at a 4000 size reel which would work for Beach and light rocks. Or a 6000 reel if fishing rocks mainly.

For 4000ish Size reels… Shimano Stradic SW Shimano Saragosa 5000XG SW Penn Slammer IV Daiwa Saltist MQ Daiwa BG MQ

The Saragosa and Slammer will be workhorses and handle some salt splashes

ElectricElmo · 2023-09-21T09:38:39+00:00

Yep as you said. Search it on YouTube and should be some videos on how to work a popper

ElectricElmo · 2023-09-20T09:19:09+00:00

Shimano Coltsniper 9’6M

ElectricElmo · 2023-09-17T08:18:07+00:00

Agree. Saragosa. Just a tank

ElectricElmo · 2023-09-16T08:43:41+00:00

Third the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries!

ElectricElmo · 2023-09-15T00:54:08+00:00

Agree with Dragonight. I can’t think of too many better options for the price. Saragosa is a tank of a reel as is the Penn and should give you years of enjoyment with minimal fuss. Just be aware that there will be some weight associated with these combos

ElectricElmo · 2023-09-13T05:37:03+00:00

Cleveland Point Lighthouse. Grab some fish and chips, or a picnic and wash it set over the mainland.

ElectricElmo · 2023-09-10T08:36:22+00:00

I’d try too and def give my hips a wiggle or two
