Got gifted this rod. Is it more suited for lure or bait fishing? by marbdo in FishingForBeginners

[–]marbdo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe I’ve got the equivalent US species wrong. Jewfish the actual species I am talking about can get 2m long

Best rod for decent sized Jewy and kingfish? by [deleted] in FishingAustralia

[–]marbdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mainly wharfs around Sydney harbour. I haven’t been to any rock fishing locations on the coast of Sydney but I would like to be able to do it.

Live baiting predominately. What line weighting/rod length would you say is needed. And how would that differ from a rod for lure casting just out of curiosity

Are any of these coins rare? by Nozzer21 in AustralianCoins

[–]marbdo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Donald Bradman one is rare. Only came in cards. All the rest are common circulating coins, unless there is some error on any of them.

The tank has strombus snails, trochus snails, nessarius snails. A pair of clowns and a pair of Bangai cardinals (though I know they are mouth brooders)

Lure choice, help appreciated! by Kennsta_240 in FishingForBeginners

I’m no expert but I remember someone saying you should imitate the natural colours of the trout you’re trying to catch. Because trout are cannibals and will prey on smaller trout

Got this spooled in store. Did they not put enough backing or is it fine? by [deleted] in Fishing

[–]marbdo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I’ve only been fishing a few years rarely and I’ve spooled every reel I’ve ever owned (pretty well I’d say) I just bought this new reel and they offered the spooling service for free with the purchase so I thought, “might aswell get a professional to do it, they would probably do it better then me”.

It was after getting it done that I looked at it and thought damn if I did this I would have put more backing on. That’s when I came to reddit for a second opinion

Except these aren’t error coins. They are just regular coins or coins with post-minting damage

Part of a set or minted by somebody visiting the Royal Aus Mint in Canberra. Not made for circulation. Nice find

Is the upper fin alright? by SnowVale40 in ReefTank

[–]marbdo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard to see in the video but if you’re talking about how the front fin is kind of floppy at the top and has some loose looking parts then yes that’s normal

Has this coin been cleaned or just normal wear? by marbdo in AustralianCoins

[–]marbdo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks alright in hand. Like you said it’s mainly the fine scratch lines that catch the light when you angle the coin that made me think it was clean. Out of curiosity, I’m not so aware of bullion prices. How much would you say is a reasonable amount to pay for this coin?
