In thedbo a mate and I even had a spare camera so we had one each. It was great until I was holding it for him whilst he was fishing and fell into the water with both cameras . Of course not long after that we caught some nice fish. Peter

HaHa, Great story and a great fish. I thouroughly enjoyed that. Thanks Well done. Peter

I often like to try to include something like some of the rod or reel in the photo, it adds a bit of perspective and adds to the scene. Also I think taking a photo of the fish on a bit of an angle, along the body from the head can also produce a very nice pic. Peter

Perhaps a small barrel sinker down the middle around the wire, or a split shot on each end of the wire for even balance. You would probably want a little more weight at the back than the front to help it fly straight throught the air for best castability. Peter

Hey, I think it looks pretty good, maybe a little thinner. Weight can be a problem, perhaps putting some split shot on the wire will help to add some weight. You could also maybe use it to strenghten the wire loop. Peter

Hi, Take a look at the Shore Fishing Australia website there are a few good areas on there around Sydney: http://www.shorefishingaustralia.com.au/Lo...gion&regionID=6 Peter

Hey Gary Browns latetest fishing report on the Shore Fishing Australia website talks about beach fishing around Cronulla. http://www.shorefishingaustralia.com.au/Ar...report+May+2006 Hope this helps Peter

I'm in Mosman, I can travel on my motorbike (or when I can con the girlfriend into comming we can take her car . I don't mind travelling a bit for a days fishing. Peter

Thank guys, I don't mind a bit of walking and ejoying the scenery whilst fishing but the girlfriend isn't quite as patient Where abouts in Sydney do you chase bass land based? I have fished Manly Dam but that is the only bass area I could think of. Peter

Well I hit the area you described but there wasn't much water at all in there. The didn't want to walk to far to find pools so the trip was a bit of a loss. Oh well, next time.... Peter

No worries, Let us know how you go. Peter

Thanks for the reply, is there much in the way of land based options? I might have to get my inflateable out and give that a go if not. Peter

All of the Bass talk on here is getting me ichty, so one day over the easter break I'll be heading out to windsor (under the guise of visiting the father) but then heading to the upper colo for some bass hunting. I've never been up there so can anyone offer any advice on area's to get access, etc... I've been reading all of the other bass fishing info on here so will be heading to the tackle shop soon to pick up some lures and flies. Thanks Peter

Weasel, If you intend to fish the Thredbo river my best recomendations are to use Celtas (gold is my preference) and try to get to sections of the river that are harder to access because they will be less fished. If you drive 10ks or so away from the Thredbo village towards Jindy and park your car by the side of the road you can scramble down throught the bush (takes a bit of effort) and get to the river. Wading upsteam you will find some great sections of river with large pools that hold large fish. I usually do with fly fishing but Celtas should work well too. Hope this helps Peter

Alex, Thanks for the reply. Sounds interesting with the changing feeding patterns. Perhaps the smell of the bread lures them in for the corn? I'm thinking of giving Manly Dam a go soon to try for some Carp. Maybe see if I can get one on the fly rod. Peter
