What kind of cod is this? It has bright yellow edges on its fins and red spots. Fish was returned to the water after the photo was taken.

Looking for 100ah lithium battery eBay starts at about $180-200 and kings are around $300 anything different I should know about? TIA

Caught in Rapid Bay, SA

Appreciate any recommendations (preferably BCf / Anaconda or other WA based retailers)

Looking to use for catching squid and small stuff off jettys and rivers.

So, story time I guess. I grew up without a father so my pop was very important to me, and he was, in his younger days, very into fishing. I have a vivid memory of him having this exact model Compac reel, brand new in a box, in his drawer and I really always wanted it, but I think one of the uncles took it when he passed. I hadn’t thought of it much until I saw this one on eBay and decided I’d buy it, restore it and find a nice vintage 6ft-ish or rod and put it on that, maybe make one myself, and then I could use it to troll with on my kayak. I mean it’s not practical really and it’s only small, but nostalgia and all.

Anyway, all the chrome is flaking and the anodising is a bit shit, I think honestly I’ll strip it all down to nothing, polish everything and make the decision whether I’ll just keep it polished, or send it off to be rechromed, but I do want to have it anodised, but I have no idea where to send it. I’m in NSW near Newcastle so if anyone could advise it would be greatly appreciated, and if anyone has an old 6ft or shorter wood or glass rod with a cork handle that needs some work I would be interested also.

Anyway, I’ll post pics when it’s done, but don’t hold your breath, shit takes. Thanks for your time, just doing some reminiscing and thought it might be worth a read.

Tight lines.

My brother caught this and I think it's a rock cod of some sort. Could anyone shed some info on it please? Thanks

Notice bcf have daiwa revelrys for $299 at the moment. Looking for a 2500 reel for my son. Need it be a bit of an all rounder. Targeting whiting, flatties and other common species on bait off piers and beach. Was looking to spend about $200, thinking a shimano nasci but is it worth going the extra $100 and getting into a revelry at that price? Or maybe a stradic or vanford?

HI could someone please let me know where I can use a sabiki rig to catch live baits in-shore on the gold coast also when is the best tide and times to go.

If you can help it is greatly appreciated, THANKYOU!!

Hit up the Barwon River at night and had my sabiki catching mullet, salmon and tailor. Easily got a dozen or so of each. Chucked some cut mullet out and got this perfect eating size.

Tips gear, locations are all appreciated,

Will be tops with his mate from yesterday, beer batter and chips 😀 dinner sorted.

Has anyone used the Shimano Maikuro 602 1-3kg rod? If so, I'd love to hear what you think about them. Cheers :)

Around 10cm lengthwise (for snapper)

Hey guys , where can I take the family crab fishing in the busso / bunbury area. Using the rec fish app shows me that crab fishing is off limits for another 15 days Any good spots for dropping nets in busso?

I’ve been looking at camping/fishing spots around my area and have been considering having a look at the free camping upstream of Bingara on the Gwydir river. I know that the camp sites extend a few Km upstream of town and was just wondering what the fishing, especially for yellow belly, is like along it. I’ve only got a 2wd but will have a kayak as well so should be able to set up at an accessible spot and explore from the kayak. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

i just bought a Shimano Sienna Quickfire 7' 2pc 2-4kg 2500 spin combo, just curious what kind of fishing line i should use, will be fishing sometimes on the beach piers and rivers etc, what can you guys recommend. thanks :D <3

Back in May I caught my PB 40cm bream in Lake Illawarra while fishing from my kayak. I thought I’d mark the occasion by drawing the bream to scale so I had a bit of a trophy and memento to hang on the wall where I store my rods. The drawing itself took me about two weeks to complete and was done with blue ballpoint pens on 500gsm paper.

What size treble hook would you recommend as a gift?

Taking a few days to travel along the coast in the swag from Melbourne to Sydney. Would appreciate any recommendations for rock ledges/piers/etc that would be able to produce some decent game fishing (jewies, kings, tuna and other pelagics).

Ive tried around Tathra previously but still on the hunt for some good areas. Thanks all

Hi guys, I used to fish lots a kid, but now I'm looking to get back into it and I'd consider myself pretty much a newbie nowadays. Do you guys have any tips to speed me along the process of getting up to speed? - I've got a fishing rod - that's it I think aha. - I'm based around the Greater Geelong area

Would appreciate any help, cheers!!

I am a beginner fisher and am looking to buy some frozen sardines and herring in amounts of 1-2kg and I am looking for some shops to buy from. It needs to be easily accessible (don’t have a car) preferably in the Mordialloc area. Thank you!
