WIN! :D

im really keen to catch a king now!

would any other live bait work? im guessing a popper would work too as it does the flailing/dying fish splashing on the water

ash, i recomend gettin back into it. nothing like having that reel scream while you scramble to grab it LOL

im gona try johnny's spot if the weathers good :P

have you fished lorne pier? theres some massive fish there. one time, i hooked onto a little salmon and out of nowhere a 45cm long barracuda just nailed it.

was hard for an 8 year old kid to reel in but ill never forget it

okzzz i just came back from schnapper point. awesome spot... nice wimmenz :down:

BUT!

no even a bite!

it was dead quiet the most iv'e seen caught was just a couple of trev's

i caught a star fish tho....

i eventually got so fed up that i put a jig head on a big ass hook to try and jig for the kingfish..

nothing :D

Anymore hotspots guys :) I know its a old post but saves me from typing up another one :)

I've tried under the west gate Williamstown side last week. Caught about 3 brim off shrimps but you cant eat the fish from there I've heard, but not worth it lol. Don't think theres anything decent there.

Also tried Werribee South off the boat pier not even a bite.

Also tired schnapper point caught a little banjo.

Best luck we've had so far is in rye off the boat thou. Caught about 10 flatheads and about 5 banjo's in about 1 hour. Good fun.

Also barwon heads off the beach caught a few small whiting. Nothing to brag about :) ....

Please someone guide me to a good spot cause im sick of catching nothing lol.... Also what bait you used would be great......

Saltwater/ Freshwater doesnt bother me.

Cheers!!! :D

I used to go fishing to Colac back when it was more then just a puddle,

It was good catching eels and big carp there, used to be up all night catching them cause they would bite like crazy durring the night

There would be other people there fishing for eels as well and all through the night it will just be the sound of constant reeling of the fish

now that it dried up a lot, i haven't been fishing for 2 years or so

what are you guys catching?

im yet to catch a pinky/snapper from land =/

might head up to elwood on firday or saturday and spend an all nighter there.

my uncle got a 1.5kg pinky off the rocks and surf

i used to go fiching heaps.

one of my fave spots was the pier in corio bay

cought many pinkies there

Where's good to fish on great ocean rd? Trying to decide between Warrnambool surf fishing vs Port Campbell, Apollo bay or Lorne pier fishing. Some estuaries are also good along GOR? I'm lazy so I like lure fishing - can't be assed buying bait and keeping it fresh. What do people recommend? I've heard raiders are good for aussie salmon. I really don't mind what I catch, as long as it's edible. Thanks.

forgot what beach but theres a beach on the GOR, where the river meets the ocean and it only meets at high tide

catch small salmon there and keep them alive in a bucket. when its dark. hook then thru the jaw or tail and throw them back into the water. loose drag, rod holder and WAIT.. should be able to snag a smallish shark or mulloway

This sounds weird but in Docklands you can catch some pinkies and garfish with surprising consistency. Very weird considering its basically in the middle of the CBD but honestly have a go.

Otherwise I found the nameless creeks and rivers in diamond creek/warrandyte area are very good for eel fishing in the middle of the night from 12 to 5am.

Only problem is that you have to walk through some light bush to get to the river most of the time (no more than 100m off the "track") and at night it can get very Blair Witch project so I dont usually go unless i have a group of at least 5 hahahahaha

bait for eels - go to safeway and buy the nastiest most revolting dog food (the ones in the freezer) you can find. The eels love it. Wear gloves.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
