New from Australia
Firstly Hi everone, this is a great looking site you have
But I can't get over the beach, rod holders you have pictured in the background image we use sand spikes and PVC tubes to support our rods on the beach, but they are no longer than 3 feet (we say a metre here) I am only 5 foot ten I'd never be able to reach the reel What are you fishing for with them? (just curious). Anyway guys,,,,,,Great site, hope to see more of it soon So look us up if you are comming "Down Under" PS Got your site from Randy Stinchcomb

OOPS
I might have just found a way to load a pic I'll give it a try. If it works, it shows our beach rod setup.  See I can reach that reel Last edited by FISHAHOLICS; 05-20-2007 at 07:37 PM. Reason: More information added

Happy to have you here, all the way from Down Under!
We generally fish for Stripers (Striped Bass, Rockfish), Bluefish, Whiting and a few other smaller varieties. The summer months we play with 2-3 metre sharks after yaking out baits. That's a beautiful beach you have there! What is the fish? We like the taller rod holders to get our lines above the shore break.

Flathead in the surf
The fish is called a flathead (we effectionately call them "Lizards)
The shot was taken a couple of months ago on one of our local Islands (North Stradbroke Island). We have just filmed a documentary over there, and give us a while to sort out the 120 gigabites of film, then reduce it down to an hour and you should be able to see it on our site with some of the others. When I get past my five post limit, I will post some pics

Surf Fishing
Yeah, we use rods from 10 foot to about 13 foot long, we cast them out, the surf in that pic is mild, usually about 4 to 6 foot swells, we use sand sinkers that are shaped like a pyramid, which hold in the cross currents until fish are hooked.
Which usually doesn't take all that long here. We fish for tailor, bream, flathead, jewfish, then on smaller gear we fish whiting, dart, trevelly, etc. Thirsty work though  Last edited by FISHAHOLICS; 05-21-2007 at 12:51 AM. Reason: mistakes
