Thanks guys and Girls

Would love to come further south to have a fish with you all but the Misses Uncle lives in Southbridge, and she has a conference at providence hence our location
Anyways hopefully I can get in touch with someone from the north east for a fish or even just some info!! Also if any of you head to Brisbane let me know and I will try and hook up a trip out

would be estury fishing and a little in the bay (if the conditions are good) because I only have a 12foot tinny atm
Steve, Our Barramundi are a very popular sports fish caught in fresh and salt water, This one has the bronze colour being from the fresh, if you see one from the salt he will be a brilliant Silver color.
Are you talking about the spools on the rods on the truck? if so these are called Alvey reels
Alvey Reels Superior Surf Reels Australia They are the most common surf reel used in Australia. They are very basic, can be dunked in the surf to clean out sand and hold a huge amount of line. A lot of people can't use them well due to needing to guild the line back on the spool when retrieving line (similar to the overhead reels without a line guide. Also line twist can be a big problem with these reels, but after every second trip out you just grab the end of the line (without anything rigged) and walk about 100 odd feet in grass un-spooling line, then go back and wind it back on and its like new
Our Saratoga is a native and is an ancient fish, must have been thinking of another country with a relative of this species.
I hope your right about fishing the salt over there being the same!! means i might be able to hook onto a few fish!!! lol
Randy,
