Welcome to Fishraider. As they say a bad days fishing is better than a good days working :-). It's a shame when the crew start throwing up however not everyone can handle the sea. Keep at it, youre bound for a good catch. Its been two weeks since I've been out and I'm already starting to go mad. Hopefully next week. Keep up the good work. Regards Vo2c88

What a cracker NZ kings are on my bucket list to do lol. Well done. Regards Vo2c88

Very well done :-) there's nothing like an afternoon session to calm one down. I would be happy with one yet alone four. Good Work Regards Vo2c88

Scratchie once again very impressive :-). You always seem to impress and on the fish. Next time I'm heading up there we will need to tee it up. Regards Vo2c88

I so got to plan another trip following our crappy luck last time. Boats back up and running, now just for some good weather :-) Keep at it, theyre bound to come :-) Cheers Vic

Good Work Scratchie :-) Its unfortunate to here about the loss, at least it gives us a reason to head out again. Regards Vo2c88

The guy was so proud of his catch. What a way to have your pride come crashing down. I would have jumped after it lol. Regards Vo2c88

Might need to give it a shot. Who knows really. Thanks guys

It would be every fishos dream for Botany to hold such big reds. Who knows? Noobie from memory it went 95cm. I may have to go out there give it a go :-)

Hi guys, Just wondering did anybody come across a report this week where a 9.4kg snapper caught in Botany Bay? Anybody find out any further details as all we seem to get in the Bay are undersize snapper. Sounds a little suss to me. Regards Vo2c88

Good Work Craig, Those kingies sure do put up a fight, My mate busted his bream stick last year on a king, it was his first also. Its the first king that gets you addicted. Just imagine what a metery will do :-) Keep it up buddy the big ones will come by for sure. Cant wait to get the boat back on the water had the tilt relay stuff up on me last week. It sure does help when the Mrs can back the trailer, im having trouble teaching the Mrs how to drive manual yet alone back a trailer. Well done. Regards vo2c88

Congratulations mate. I don't blame your son, tails up as they say. Good job vo2c88

Good to see the big girls are back :-) Good on you for letting her go. Well Done :-)

Scratchie you always tend to impress. Happy Bday buddy. I got the go pro 3, top resolution however doesn't last too long if you turn it on and off regularly. Hopefully I can get into some jewys when I'm up this weekend. Cheers Vo2c88

Thanks Kingie Chaser. I've downloaded the map all should be good. hopefully the winds die down a little though. Regards Vo2c88

Thanks guys much appreciated! Manhands the boat is a 5.5 cc performance plate boat . Handles offshore pretty well. If you have any food marks can you pm me Scratchie any help is appreciated you're a legend thankyou guys

G'Day Raiders, Ill be heading up to Port Stephens across the long weekend, with the boat in tow for the first time. We will be puting in three days of fishing, 1 day landbased and the other two days on the boat. Would anybody be kind enough to give me some tips, locations where we can possibly come across some mulloway, recent reports show there are a couple lurking up there however being the first time we fish these waterways itll be pretty difficult. Any other tips on other species which maybe good to target at this time of the year will also be greatly appreciated! Thankyou in advance :-) Regards Vo2c88.

Wow you guys got these big reds all sorted out. Yet to crack the 40cm. Good work :-) Just out of curiosity how deep had they been feeding? caught on bait or plastic? Keep up the good work. Regards Vo2c88

Good work mate can't wait to get my first. Is that a broken rod in the second photo? Those things must pull like freight trains. Regards Vo2c88

Some really good looking boats out there. This is my PLAN B......... my pride and joy a 2011 Performance Plate Boat Centre Cabin with a DF140 Suzuki If any of you guys see me on the water give me a yell, it'll be good to meet some raiders :-) Regards Vic

Thanks Mate Cheers

Catchin Jack no I havnt I registered with marine rescue to do a course however I can assure you I use the radio in a moderate way and try not use unless required. some people treat it like a joke. Regards Vo2c88

Thanks Brett. so based on the sticker Port operation Channels and commercial fishing channels cannot be used between recreational boats unless being part of the other categories? That may explain the reason why it wasn't working. Thanks Brett. Much appreciated! Vic

Dear Raiders, I was just wondering in relation to VHF radios is it possible to transmit and receive across all channels? I was out on the weekend and tried connecting with another colleagues boats across a number of channels however I could not transmit or receive other than through 21,22 I could hear everything on channel 16. Just wondering are there specific channels which cannot be transmitted across or vice versa? Your assistance will be appreciated! Regards vo2c88

Wow mate I wouldn't be disappointed not to be able to chase the GT's would love to get into some fish like that. I just wonder what you guys would have got on a good day. Top looking rigs as well. Good Work
