Hi fish-raiders, read about sinker moulds and I am looking for either a crown, pyramid or something that does not move with a run out/in tide in a river. Saw a crown years ago that had a bicycle spoke moulded in it and the elderly owner said "that stops the bugger moving in the current", well raiders what have you discovered as I am sick of losing gear and catching rocks. Any info would be much appreciated. Rob.

Hi Fishraiders I know my opinions but what do fellow f/raiders think of the Rovex big boss 9500, 7500 and the 5500 reels. Haven't done a huge amount but have been asked would I recommend these reels for heavy fishing to a group. My answer is yes but I need feedback from others and with the latest cost of these reels whats big and strong to equal big boss. Any assistance is happily received. Roberto

Wanna decent feed, Hi to all you blokes who took the time to answer my enquiry about where to fish ,thanks. Sad to here the leather jackets are a bit quite at the moment but when I can muster all the troops after football, dancing and birthday parties will take them along but in the meantime the Mrs and I might trot along to some of the spots mentioned. Wanda & Stanwell Park beaches are unproductive at this point in time. So around Clifton Gardens or the Spit on a week day sounds good but also into Blackfish and Erearing power station is not bad on the inlet side, the regulars don't appear to be overjoyed at new comers at the run out side. On the weekend its Asian & Mediterranean fellows are thick on the ground, locals zero. Anyway guys just sold all my Alvey Centre pin beach, blackfish & Mitchell 499 egg beater reels, had the big upgrade to Rovex big boss reels, so any comments either way like to hear. In the rod dept Jarvis Walker Ocean blackfish & Penn Beach were the choice all 2 piece, mainly for travelling, also any comments welcome. Now I have to get a few biggies to test it all out. By the way had no success selling anything around around the Metro area but the Local trader buy and sell out of Gosford & goes to Tweed Heads, the gear went like hot cakes which allowed me to upgrade.

Hi Raiders, well the Mrs said find the fish or I am finished, beaches are very slow. I have been reading these columns & the Mrs with grand kids in tow, the leather jackets in the harbour sounds great for an outing and good introduction to fishing for the young ones. Also heard a few decent Kings moving around good for me. We are landbased these days so a feed is always welcome plus entertainment for 8, 6 & 4 year old. Been told around the Spit, or from Taronga Park Zoo towards the general direction of the heads on any wharf, it will need to be safe for the kids. Raiders the same question applies in and around Botany Bay plus Port Hacking as I am driving over from Liverpool. If you can assist me with any information much appreciated. Rob
