Brett, it wasnt huge but it was my first one on a HB, was around the 250mm mark, I was at the pub but I was getting bored so I wandered home at 1am, grabbed my rod and walked up the yarra and had a bit of a flick, the bloody thing took a 65mm long lure too, the treble only just fitted in its mouth!

I chase Bream ect. with a 7 foot Limited Edition Shimano rod (basically a Catana) and a slade 1000 reel, yourself?

I read this at 6.30am and here was me thinking your plan had already begun to bare fruit.
I think you should have used a word other than "snagged"

I was going to mention your second point, but decided against it.

They are both only good for one thing.

No worries. I'd just like to clear something up though.

HOW HUMANS SMELL (male and female)
Specialized receptor cells of the olfactory epithelium detect and recognize smells.

Your nose is a huge cavity built to smell, moisten, and filter the air you breathe. When you breathe in, the tiny hairs, called cilia, act like a broom and filter everything trying to get into your nose; from dust particles to bugs.

The air passes through the nasal cavity and though a thick layer of mucous to the olfactory bulb. The smells are recognized here because each smell molecule fits into a nerve cell like a puzzle piece. The cells then send signals to the brain via the olfactory nerve. The brain then interprets those molecules as the sweet flowers, or the curdling milk that you've held up to your nose.

HOW FISH SMELL
Smell, or olfaction, as scientists call it, is an important sense for many fish. Those little holes that look like nostrils are called nares. Nares don’t lead to the throat the way nostrils do in mammals, but open up into a chamber lined with sensory pads.

Not all fish move water in and out through these nares in quite the same ways, but key to a strong sense of smell for fish is the ability to move water rapidly over these sensory pads.

Some fish can pick up chemical signals when immobile by pumping water through their olfactory system via tiny hairs called cilia.

Other fish can pump water by a muscular movement. Some fish, such as smaller species of mackerel, have an olfactory system that requires them to swim in order to get water moving through their nares.

When the sensory pads pick up chemical signals, they transmit them to the fish’s forebrain, which interprets the signal and incites the fish to respond appropriately.

If the chemicals signal food, the fish will pursue the food.




So, they don't really smell the same.
I hope this clears things up? :huh:

Back on topic now? Huh? Please?
