By no means am i new to fishing but definatly new to this site and alot of the lingo going around, so im keen to learn a few new things. Was wondering if u can shed some light on a few things.
1. My rod has a line class of 5-10kg? Does this mean dont go under and dont go over?
2. Demersal? type of fish i figured
3. Demersal Jigging? Never heard of it lol
4. Are u allowed to use a Throw net in perth?
5. Can u cast lures of a Beach rod or is it best just to use a smaller rod?
Thanks to anyone and all that can answer me. Knowing me i will have plenty of questions About other stuff at a later date

Couple of quick responses
1. My rod has a line class of 5-10kg? Does this mean dont go under and dont go over?
Can fish with any line you want on it. The rating just gives a guide as to what the rod is best suited for.
2. Demersal? type of fish i figured
Demersal = bottom species.
3. Demersal Jigging? Never heard of it lol
Jigging - bouncing metal jigs along the bottom 5m of water (general) for the Point 2. Check out Cahal's vid from the other day for a pretty good overview of how it works.
4. Are u allowed to use a Throw net in perth?

5. Can u cast lures of a Beach rod or is it best just to use a smaller rod?
Somewhere in between. 8-9ft rod would cover most scenarios I would think.
I'm sure someone will elaborate on those points, but something to get started with anyway...

#1, cant tell you for
#1, cant tell you for certain.
#2, they are any fish that are resident as where palegic means they travel fair distances.
#3, is using a jig for fishing for demersals (ie Dhuies)
#4, dont think so but check the regulations on netting.
#5, shouldnt have any probs casting a lure with a beach rod, just check the weight suggested, if not sure look up the manufactureres specs on line,
no harm in questions, just not the stupidly obvious ones.
i take it you are new to perth
