Hello Lads, My cousin and i will be breaking out the Boat tommorow night, putting in at Como and heading out to the Bay.Neither of us have much experience of night fishing in the bay, and i would be very grateful for any tips, was thinking of heading out towards the hot water outlet, and berleying up but as yet the plans are no more developed than that. Cheers Rob

Bah, Illawarra Leagues is the place to fuel up.....cant beat those prices

Top story Jethro, Note to self - ensure floor is reinforced to guard against thrashing flatties

I've seen some real mingers in that place, however maybe its improved since then?? Out of interest do you still have trouble with convoys of doof doof machines cruising in from South West Sydney on a Sat night? We used to head down there from the shire about 5-6 years ago every now and again. Cheers Rob

Ben, that sounds disgraceful. Just stay away from Coonies

Good call Dave. The fart call has given me an idea There are some quiet parts of the upper woronora it would suit i reckon, but agreed, there wouldnt be too many places you could use it........... Looks fun though, nothing like risking life and limb on $50 watercraft

Im off tomorrow so if anyone is keen to hook up (couldnt help the pun ) let me know On Sunday will be tempting fate with a mate in his nugget of a boat in the Port Hacking....i will be bringing flares and bailing buckets

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/FREETIME-INFLATABLE...1QQcmdZViewItem These things seem to sell for around 50 bucks on Ebay. Obviously they would be in trouble in anything but a fairly sheltered estuary however i was thinking of picking one up for a bit of mucking around (Flathead drift?) in my local area (Woronora / Georges Rivers) could be a bit of fun and maybe even work off some of those What do you reckon lads, anyone have any experience with these things?

Ok folks got back on Monday.... Well, the weather put a real dampener on things, went outside twice but days were cut real short due to high winds......however, wasnt all bad, managed to catch my PB Flathead @ 58cm and a stack of undersize Bream, Snapper, Flathead and a couple of Tailor... I'll be back in summer for the Mackerel

You wouldnt be Airline crew would you Pogo? Aside from 2nd hand golf stuff, another winner in Japan is 2nd hand high end watches...some real bargains to be had there

Mate i have not bought tackle in Japan before, but i have lived there and been there for business about half a dozen times. I have never had problems with being rorted in Japan, which is a major contrast to other countries in Asia where it is a favourite pastime. Good Luck with the shopping and let us know how you go! Cheers Rob

G'day Philip, RE Reels, if you like OKUMA Ebay has some great resellers in Singapore / Malaysia, I have managed to pick up a couple of brand new Okuma reels for about half the normal Sydney tackle shop prices......then all you need to do is pck up a rod to suit. Cheers Rob

Coffs eh, sounds like a top idea....Coffs it is! Was thinking of rafting the Nymboida river (2 days), 1 Day gamefishing, 1 day in a hire tinny in the estuary and some beach fishing (Will stay beachside)......oh, and spending "quality time" with the Any specific tips for the area?

G'day Lads, Its been quite a while since i've had a good well earned holiday, and i am thinking of taking a fishing holiday..... I am thinking a week or so, Somewhere warm, where i can do some guided fishing and also hire a tinny and have a stab by myself with the and also a bit of Landbased. I dont mind flying seeing the airfares are cheap these days, so i am thinking Queensland...but where? I was up at Airlie Beach for a couple of days 2 months back, top spot but i'd like to hear some first hand reports and get some advice from you blokes...

How did you blokes go ? I ended up going down to fishing botany bay landbased in the morning, as i mate (new to fishing) and i went out looking for a rod and reel for him in the arvo

Nice morning yesterday, but a little on the chilly side. Was landbased from Ramsgate with a mate. Caught some undersized bream, and two keepers, a 27cm Bream on peeled prawn and a 42cm Lizard on SP. Nice morning out, all done in 3hours Had a boat trip planned for this morning with my cousin but it was p1ssing down Hope you blokes had a top weekend

What time are you blokes heading down, i am keen for an early (8am or so) landbased fish

Yep, i could feel it yesterday

Well done paggles, i plan on heading down to mainbar in the next few weeks to fish of the bar
