Addictive is right …..I was thinking it had to be a kingy while waiting for the guides to bust off the rod , all sorts of creaking/clinking going on ….I had a heap of hurt on it trying not to get spooled …..that was a rushfishforpot replied to the topic Competition Beach Fishing in the forum Fishing Spots and Reports 7 years, 4 months ago

Ive found they are a ways from the Mac mouth on the south side ….assuming the same on the north ….
Maybe they don’t like the fresher water ? …. Walk out at low tide and suck sand from the little mounds ….fishforpot replied to the topic Competition Beach Fishing in the forum Fishing Spots and Reports 7 years, 4 months ago

Be worth trying a range of baits …..come the warmer months of coursefishforpot replied to the topic pnumatic bait launcher in the forum Surfcasting 7 years, 11 months ago
Open side facing forward ….it soon flips around due to the weight , but the bait is at speed by then so it cushions the shock .
What volume of air is in your reservoir ? ….. we use a 3Kg LPG bottle ….and had it up to 185Psi from memory ….shot a 9oz sinker with single bait just shy of 240mtrs …. the crack when you pull the trigger hurts…[Read more]
fishforpot replied to the topic pnumatic bait launcher in the forum Surfcasting 7 years, 11 months ago
The Sabot is a critical part of the launcher .
Find some PVC pipe which fits neatly inside the barrel .
Cut a 3 inch length , and cut a ‘cap’ not a bung , to glue on the bottom …..the bung needs to be incredibly neat fitting
This forms a cup which protect the bait , and when you bolt a lead weight under the cup , it becomes the sinker .In…[Read more]

fishforpot replied to the topic Non return sliding clips . in the forum Surfcasting 8 years, 4 months ago
?? I fished a few times last year with a cannon ….237mtrs was the last cast ….ended up foul hooking a dolphin lmao ..
The trigger is the key …less efficient the trigger the higher the air pressure needed for serious distance .
We havent got the best trigger , so needed 160psi for that cast , may have even been 180….takes some effort…[Read more]

Cant be fagged checking to see if Ive already posted this , but
Make the sinker the cup ….bolt the lead on the bottom of the pvc cup , and make sure the cup is a nice tight fit in the barrel
Seemless barrel is a must .. also , google "sabbot"
The bait comes out of the barrel at full speed , protected by the cup …so no real stress on it…[Read more]
