    They know what they are on about and are doing all the right things IMHO (and are bloody cheap!)but as I say I havent seen one in person.

    As a learner driver I would recommend a 30 or 40m net, You are almost certainly going to have a few balls ups learning when and where and when not to set your net and pulling in a 60m full of logs or weed or tangled into one big ball by a couple of 2m rays will put you off for life.
    Also a shorter net allowes you to set in places you cannot legally set a full 60m net.
    It can be very rewarding and hugely frustrating all at the same time.
    I recommend it.
    Thanks heaps.
    Will be getting a 30-40 net tomorrow.

    Took @stingray out after work to wet some lines, I reinforced my position as a masterclass spiky dog fisherman.
    We know the snaps are there....I have a theory tho....do I have another go to test the theory or bug out north to the gurnard/maybe snapper?

    Test the theory @veitnamcam. Nothing more satisfying than when one comes off.

    I'm not worried about you catching sharks as long as @stingray gets a snapper.

    I just picked up my boat today from its annual service so its ready to go. Its the boys final soccer game/breakup tomorrow and reps on sun so this weekends buggered.

    However that's it for a while for kids sport so I'm eyeing up next weekend as the start of my snapper chasing. Its pretty exciting I tell ya

    I'm keen as for a snapper , hockey is done so now it's about hunting the fish with the rod and more so the spear ! Loved a big day out with VC ...he had two solid runs on his stray line , neither stuck ...VC keeps me keen and I love seeing a snapper rise from the murk....next wekend will see lines in the water along with my self back into a suit !! Cannot wait

    Needless to say we were not short of bait on that trip

    It was definatly a giant squid, not a colossal and it had at least half of all its tenticalls missing. I like to think...bitten off by a sperm whale
