thanks!

Greg - Jealous! Rich is still drooling... Greg

Greg try the TMZ-I 762 MLFS and you probably will hit the boats with the Sammy! Let me know if you want to give it a go, you can try mine. Greg

Hi Roberta - no didn't get back up there this weekend. Ian came back and fished though. Finished well in 14th I think. Greg

Yes, good luck in the FFC this year Roberta. Hopefully that little Gekkabijin Vib snags you a few fish... Thanks for sharing your knowledge of Forster this weekend past, much appreciated. The Forster locals really turn on a great show up there for the carnival! Greg

Greg my limit is about $13 on Atomic crank's. Call me tight, but $13 lures work just as well as $26 lures and you get twice as many for your money... LOL Truthfully I rarely spend more than that, but I buy a lot at that price. Yak time soon? Greg

For anyone interested here is a link to some footage of a stingray Chris hooked and landed on Bream gear whilst on this Mallacoota Trip. A lot of this is shot on the Go Pro HD. Greg

Pmak - Yes, the shared obsession is great. No arguments about what we are doing on the weekend... These photos are shot on a combination of cameras. Nikon D200/10.5mm fisheye and GoPro HD. The GoPro mounts directly to the boat and either records HD video or can be set to take timelapse photos at a specified interval. Silhouette images are from the Go Pro. I collected over 3000 timelapse images at Mallacoota in 2 sessions. Will make for some great timelapse video when I get a chance to pull it all together. It captures a lot of those moments you miss if you have to pick up a camera. Roberta - thanks, we had a blast. The busted prop was annoying, but luckily I was able to get my spare sent from Sydney pretty quickly. No serious damage done, but we did have to idle back to the ramp which took us over an hour. Tom caught some nice tailor, trolling a hardbody so the time wasn't wasted. Greg

Don't blame you for getting off the water! I think I would have done the same in a Kayak. I suspect that something in the S-factor has "gone off". I've had the same happen in a glass jar that I've had on my bench for about 12 months. The jar doesn't seal properly and the sfactor has gone the exact same colour. I've been using a air tight plastic container lately and haven't noticed it, but had used a similar (Baby custard) glass jar once before as well and the same thing happened. It still works though! Greg

Cheers guys. My kids love to get out on the boat fishing. My secret to getting them onto the fish is to put my own rod and reel away, and concentrate 100% on them.

Congratulations on a great catch! Love that heart-in-mouth stuff on light gear! Greg

Summer holidays were spent in Mallacoota this year with the family. 2 weeks with nothing planned, boat in tow, packed to the brim with rods and lures. What more could you ask for? We fished every day bar 2, whilst I waited for my spare prop to be sent down from Sydney. Running from the top lake on the second day, I threw a blade on the prop. Nasty stuff! and luckily there was no major damage... Most days fishing were for a couple of hours in the afternoon. Often with one of my kids on board, to chase some flatty's and or Bream! We had a blast, casting crankbaits tight to the snags and potholing fish. The trusty old SX40 (bluegill) did most of the damage over the 2 weeks, and to be perfectly honest, it was the first time I'd thrown one in ages. All my kids got onto fish, and achieved some firsts and PB's. Both Tom (7) and Ben (3) got their first Black Bream. Tom also got a heap of good size flatty's and a Blackfish. What a great way to spend the holidays! Here's some footage of a great little session I had with my brother Chris. Cheers, Greg

I personally don't eat fish caught in the Harbour. All these fish were released. Greg

pmak - Have sent you PM, but very happy with interline. Very accurate, sensitive and no guides means no tangles and tip wrap. Greg

Well it's been a while since I've posted anything... Been too busy fishing! Below is a link to some video from a memorable surface session on Sydney Harbour from earlier this season. Between the 2 boats, we landed 3 fish over a kilo, and weighed close to 8 kg of bream in a 3 hour session! hope you enjoy! Cheers, Greg
