I know the east coast marlin fishos often reel in a marlin head with no body... Cant tell me that was just a little doggy. Btw fishnfreak it didnt look like it in the photo but that was a 16ft shark, bigger than our yaks .

Good luck blokes. I won't be hitting the water again in the next few weeks - just too much on. But I'll give myself some time off soon during the week and try to get out there with you.

Cheers

Righto, im in. im assuming there'll be some KG action, what are the other likely targets ?

[L3GACY]

Excellent, most likely targets will be whiting and flathead. I'll be burleying up for snapper but given the area and the reports i'm 99% sure i'll only find undersize. Waldo, worth you fishing the surface too, HEAPS of garfish around at the moment. I've finished putting my marks in and have found 4 that are all within a few hundred metres of eachother. Given the distances between the others i say we hit them so that we have a bit of choice once we're 3km out. I would suggest you guys launch at the brighton jetty, it will knock around a km off your journey if not you can just paddle up from seacliff and meet me on your way out. Being 6:30 in the morning parking wont be an issue. There is a ramp 50m south of the jetty, in front of the SLSC and a ramp 30m north of the jetty. I reccomend the northern one though it makes no difference. If you guys launch there it means we'll be out at the grounds sooner. If you would rather launch and fish seacliff, no dramas but its a few k's between my marks out there. Opinions please.

[fishnfreak]

hmm, leave Brighton and knock a km off, or leave seacliff and have to cover more ground, i know what one im doing

[fishnfreak]

im not overly familier with the area, if i come down jetty road towards the jetty should i turn left or right to head towards SLSC

[L3GACY]

Come down jetty road from brighton road and then turn left. Remember, we're talking jetty road at BRIGHTON .

I'll make you up a little map marking the ramps

[L3GACY]

Remember, if you hit water you didnt turn soon enough!

[fishnfreak]

dont worry i asked dad whether the jetty road with all the shops near Glenelg is actually Brighton

[L3GACY]

Bloody northerners . That said, if it werent for having to go to munno para occasionally i'd have no idea where gawler was

[fishnfreak]

oh haha bloddy ha

[fishnfreak]

thanks for the map though, waldo where are you launching from

[waldo]

thanks for the map though, waldo where are you launching from

Looks like ill be able to drive onto the beach from the slsc, i reckon thats the go.

BTW- nice work on the map john. Im glad you pointed out the water, you know us northerners are a bit slow

So we'll meet you floating around the end of brighton jetty 6.30 ish.

[L3GACY]

I'm just glad you could decipher my mouse writing skills, i'd hate for you blokes to drive into the water . Btw Lee welcome to drive onto the beach to launch the yak but i'm betting someone cracks the shits (especially if you drive it down for the retrieve ) the old folks around here tend to get a bit crabby. All you have to do though is say "the sign says you cant use the ramp to launch powered craft, my craft is unpowered biatches" .
