    Thanks Mel you're a joy to watch. I really enjoyed your trip to Cronulla. I haven't fished there for nearly 50 years. Some of it doesn't appear to have changed at all. Used to catch good whiting and bream landbased.

      Not much good. I was trying to get yakas to go after Kin’s, but couldn’t get any. They we’re being chased by rat kings and salmon and i could not get them to bite. Some nice kingies outside the heads close in. See you out on the water.

    • @spikesfishing
      @spikesfishing  Рік тому

      Hey Ivan, if I get a lot of small snapper and nothing else I generally move somewhere else. If I’m getting good fish mixed with snapper I will persevere them in hopes I get the big fish interested in the baby snapper commotion.

    • @spikesfishing
      @spikesfishing  Рік тому

      Hey Dave last year I objected to catch and kill and for 2023 we have introduced catch and release for most of our comps which is a major win for the comp structure. We can submit images and use the DPI length to weight conversion. I only kept these bream because one of our members wanted to gift them to their parents. I totally agree with you, it’s very important to promote change to these old school rules and our club is up there promoting the release of comp fish which is amazing.
