I hope you enjoy you day fishing. Just thought I would post this as people have commented in the past how they have been fined for having more than 4 rods rigged. You may have missed the line just under the table of gear allowed and above the rules you quoted, it reads. The table provides a maximum of each gear type permitted per person in use or in possession at any time.

You made me laugh.

Happy Birthday Stewy have a great day.

We went over to check it out on Sunday. There was a lot of food stalls there but there was plenty of fishing gear to choose from. We watched a Jim and Donna Teeny tie some flies and I was surprised when Donna finished hers she gave it to me along with another she had previously tied. Not many people there. Nice and close to home so I was happy. Hopefully next year it will be a bit bigger. Good on them for still holding it with the late venue change.

Just heard there is a fishing show this weekend at Penrith Paceway. Here is the link if your interested. http://www.familyfishingshow.com.au/index.html

Happy Birthday guys have a great day.

Fantastic fish. Can't wait to see your video.

Congratulation Bartdude. Nice catch.

Geoff and I will be there. Looking forward to it.

Congratulations on a great catch and a very enjoyable video.

They look good. It will be a great feeling when you catch a fish on a lure you made.

WOW! Fantastic shots. Amazing experience for you.

Thanks Baz. I don't like crab at all and Geoff wasn't fussed so we decided to let it live and get bigger for someone else to enjoy. Thanks bretto 101. I have to give a little credit to Geoff for his input to our report. Hope the next report isn't too far away.

Well done. Congratulations on your winning Bass.

Thanks for your kind comments. Dinner was great.

It has been 9 months since we have taken the boat out. Today we finally got to take it to Botany Bay. We got to Kyeemagh about 5.30am. It was very busy with lots of boats arriving for their day on the water. We first tried a drift in the middle near the channel markers and we were busy unhooking and throwing back small squire. I had a weight on my line and thought maybe just some weed and I was surprised to find it was a blue swimmer crab. It was hanging on to my prawn and wouldn’t let go. Geoff netted it and brought it into the boat and then it was on. Of course it let go of the bait and harassed me by running around the floor of the boat. Geoff kept laughing at me while I was trying to keep my toes out of the way. He threw a rag on it, picked it up while I quickly took a picture and then threw it back. Geoff then caught a 44cm flathead on a prawn which we bagged. We decided to move on to the end of the first runway and anchored. We caught a couple of small bream and the squire were back. I was bringing my line in hoping for a nice flatty and to my surprise there was a great big one sucking on my bait and as it reached near the surface it just let go and slowly started to sink. I dropped my line back in hoping it was still interested and as quick as a flash a squire pushed in front of it and took my bait. Goodbye flatty. After a while we moved and drifted back and forth from the Cooks River to the Novotel a couple of hundred metres out. Geoff caught a nice legal whiting (released) on a prawn and a 42cm flathead (bagged) on 7”jerkshad electric chicken with a 3/8 jig head. Funny, it swallowed the whole plastic and as I netted it, it spat it right out hook and all. Again more small squire stealing our bait. We decided to pack up at 2pm as we were getting low on bait. With 30 minutes to go I was determined to catch a flatty. We had used chicken with parmesan cheese, prawn, and pilchards throughout the day and only caught a crab, a flatty, small squire and a small bream. LAST BAIT full pilchard on gang hooks. I had a few small taps and thought I better check that bait wasn’t gone. As I started to bring it in a few more tugs and a very small run to my surprise it was a nice flatty. My PB 58cm. Lucky Geoff did a good job netting it as the hook dropped out once it was in the boat. After an enjoyable but tiring day Geoff cleaned the fish, I filleted them, packed some fillets in the freezer and cooked the rest in tempura batter. Ready to serve with home cooked wedges – yummy. Hope it's not another nine months to the next fish. Lyn

Where was their bbq? Did you have to have an observer?

My daughter sent me a message last night about a dangerous situation where a lady was locked in her car and couldn't get out. I thought it was worth sharing after we tested it out last night. I tried to get out of our car after Geoff locked me in and walked off with the keys. I could't get out. Geoff had to unlock the car for me. Very dangerous. I have a tool in the glovebox which cuts seatbelts and smashes windows in case of an accident. I hope I never have to use it. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-01-10/concerns-about-danger-of-keyless-car-entry-technology/5194450

So cool!?

Congratulations! Happy Birthday! A huge thanks for having such a great site and letting me be a part of it.

I'm sitting in front of the fireplace in my pj's wishing I was fishing. Nah, too cold out there. Looks like you are all having fun catching hairtail. Enjoy the weekend.

Same here. They are great with external antenna.

Happy Birthday Geoff. Too bad you have the flu.

Happy Birthday! Hope you got spoiled.

Great when a good plan pans out. Terrific fish. Well done.
