Alvey 650 series are the greatest man's reel ever made

Alveys could handle big loads, being dropped on rocks, cleaned in water and used on boat rods.
Surf rods with an alvey could be thrown a mile.
And Australian made.
Unbeatable

Only a few moving parts and built to last.
It just looks like different fishing seeeing a bloke on with an Alvey hunched over a bit and using his hand as drag to slow down the reel a bit.

Sounds a bit rough but you can really skull drag em with that direct feed.

Planning on going for a fish this Sunday morning, not sure yet.
Either try and put some trevlliy in the freezer for chasing gummy’s or just go down to Princess peir and catch some pinkie’s to eat.

I’m in Melbourne

Trevor Alley. Love it

There should be a BS button for people who don't post pictures of thier catch

Awww, no fair.
Millennials and their phones win hands down, us older folks didn't have them back then. I thought I was pretty cool scanning old film shots onto a HDD. Sheesh.

Still, everyone knows the fish were bigger in the old days. It is known.

Dang. Now I really have to find that old shark photo. Everything but the 12 mullys.
And I was wearing shorts.

I voted no because I don't want other people to be happy

Trainspotting Irvine Welsh or Irving × George Michael WHAM asterisk !

Penn 9500 might not be as robust as the old Alveys but better drag setup and quicker retrieve. Ive got ones Ive had for probably 20-25 years and still going strong. Caught literally hundreds of gummys and schoolies with them over the journey.

What else would people be interested in seeing once this starts? I’m happy for suggestions.

A bit of interstate rivalry wouldn't go astray.
Also how people prep and cook their catch.
This can be the theme song.

Awesome stuff mate. Eildon is about the only major impoundment i haven't fished yet. Most of my fishing is Mulwala/Hume/Burrunjuck but hunting a big slob cod from Eildon is on the list...hopefully in the next month or two if not next winter for sure!

Make sure you knock the fish on the head quick smart. Fish suffee asphyxiation for 22 minutes. Not sure if you know that .
