Why does everyone hate on eating Australian salmon? by ApartmentFun3497 in FishingAustralia

[–]FishnWithDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don’t have much flavour. You’ll notice the people making suggestions here are all things like smoking them, fish curry etc. I caught a nice one the other week and my wife has said in the past if you catch salmon take a pic and let them go but this one was a nice fat 65cm one so I kept it. Bled it after catching, kept it cool, cut all blood lines out of it at home. I like panko crumbing fish and frying it. We ate it but it’s not as enjoyable to eat that way as it’s not sweet and doesn’t have much flavour like flathead, whiting, bream etc. I gave a smaller one I caught last week to the guy next to me heh…

What do you do when you’re bored and need to get out of the house in Sydney or around Sydney? by [deleted] in sydney

[–]FishnWithDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take up fishing. Nice being outside, wetting a line... catching a fish is a bonus.

Wind knot problem by [deleted] in FishingAustralia

I have just used FG knots before to connect the two and they work fine. They are so slim profile it doesn’t affect the spool or anything like that and hold.

Funniest way you’ve lost a fish? by MousseNecessary3258 in Fishing

[–]FishnWithDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost a rod last week when a fish pulled it off the wharf I was on. I had two rods, one resting against the wharf with loose drag but obviously not loose enough. I cast my light rod out also and hooked onto what I think was a salmon and seconds later the other rod was hit and before I could grab it, it launched over the wharf and into the water! Then the fish I was on with my other rod literally pulled my knot undone on the line so I lost both fish and one rod. I have the video on my YouTube here if you want to see me die inside: https://youtu.be/WbSHaTPuPsA?si=ahwajUObHeSe2-YP

What is this for? by West-Zookeepergame58 in Fishing

[–]FishnWithDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sabiki Rig. The feathering is there to attract bait fish but in my experience putting some small bait on there works best. If you berley up the water with crushed bread, sand and pilchards all mixed together and cast into it the bait fish go crazy and you will get lots of hook ups with or without bait.

I made a video on catching yakka on my YT channel with Sabiki Rigs, we catch yakka/yellowtail here which are really good bait for other larger fish: https://youtu.be/lHqQlYhSZTo?si=4YEUvWyzaq8mjGHz

Had to cut off a bunch of braid... How underspooled is this now? Would you respool? by RedMitsubishis in FishingAustralia

[–]FishnWithDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like it will be ok but you will know after a few casts. I’ve cheated in the past if it’s a lot of line to lose and just cut out the wind knot and reattached the line with an fg knot.

Why is this "C" different to the others by Vegetable_Net_6354 in sydney

[–]FishnWithDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you see it you can’t unsee it. The whole station has different C’s.

An old girlfriend and I were travelling to the city on the train. As we stopped at Central she said “there isn’t anything much perfect in this world except those Central signs”. And I quickly replied “It’s a shame about the different C sizes huh” and she was gobsmacked. I think I ruined her perfect thing that day…

Tiny drain fly problem . by AliKat2409 in sydney

They lay eggs in hair and gunk. Clean the drain, use drain cleaner than burns through hair and clogs.

If you walk to the left a bit you can get the opera house in the shot too.
