[Mid North Coast Firing, Grab Your Gear & Get Out There]

Nice haul there mate, well done

[Rock Fishing Safety Study]

i can tell you guys from 20 years experiance off rock fishing there no way i would wear a life jacket

wearing a life jacket means you can't dive under breaking waves and swimming is also impaired

golden rule off the stones is unless your a strong swimmer in surf conditions do'nt go rock fishing

most people lose the lives trying to clamber back up onto the rockes after getting washed in and get smashed

gary

I kind of thought there would be a disadvantage to it,cheers for the input mate,i guess it could be used for those that are not strong swimmers at all perhaps....on the fishing and acquaculture site its on the recommendation list to wear one,it does not directly say to who exactly,but id suppose there talking about all rock fisherman in general for there own safety.

[Rock Fishing Safety Study]

its a no brainer honestly,wear a life jacket,and live to fight another fishing day

[Rock Fishing Safety Study]

Just curious here and this may be abit funny to some and may save a life in the process,if people want to risk there lives fishing off rocks that are known to be hazardous for fishing,why cant they wear a life jacket?

most these lives that have been lost,what was the cause of death,drowning perhaps?

It may seem funny to some,but i think the idea of wearing a life jacket at a dangerous rock fishing spot,could ideally one day save another life,well thats my 2cents.

[Ray And Pete Around The Rocks]

Unlucky with the fish mate,but that looks like a great spot for fishing,where abouts in avoca is that mate.

[The Mighty Eels]

What a great game last night by the MIGHTY EELS!!!!

It was a great game to be at,the atmosphere was amazing.

It sounded incredible near the end of the game to have 28,000 EELS supporters chanting "bring on the bulldogs"

@ the chants "Bring on the Bulldogs" i suggest parra fans dont get to over the heads about this one,use forgot about your team through most the year until they started winning a few games and use rediscovered use have a team to support,Dogs by 12

[Where To Fish For Tonight]

[Advice For Buying A Beach Rod]

Does that come with a reel to, or just the rod,cheers mate...

[Advice For Buying A Beach Rod]

Hey all looking at purchasing a beach rod now that i have my general purpose rod,im looking at spending roughly around $200-$250 on a 12 footer perhaps,or is that abit to much.

Is there anything i need to know before buying one,also can anyone recommend a rod/reel combination from one of the sites sponsors,cheers

[Curracurrang Cove - Royal National Park]

[Land Based Fishing Around The Heads]

Hi fadz

North and South head both have a few rock spots that can fish very well. Access ranges from a rock scamble to full on rockclimbing, ladders and ropes. The platforms them sleves vary from reasonably safe (Old Mans Hat) to down right suicidal.

I suggest you team up with someone who knows the area well, the death toll of rock fishers from those two headlands would be the highest in Oz over the years for shear numbers.

David

hey dave,thanks for the information,obviously the last thing i want to do is risk my life or my cousins over fish,where would be a safer place to go with easier access and decent fish nearest to either north or south heads,cheers mate

[Land Based Fishing Around The Heads]

Old Mans Hat South head along the sandstone fence off the drive (south head drive), gates are closed at night also but you can get pelagics, pigs, blackfish, seen a monster blue groper hanging around there, have caught my PB squid from there as a bycatch on live yakkas also, just be carefull on southerly swells particularly on high tide

Cheers for that mate...will give it a try this weekend hopefully,anyone with any other suggestions,cheers.

[Land Based Fishing Around The Heads]

Hey all new to these forums Just curious if anyone here knows some decent land based fishing spots near the heads of Sydney,any information would be greatly appreciated,cheers.
