G'day Haydos.
Sorry to hear some lowlife stole your rod
Give GoFish at Dural a call as they have some specials on at the moment
that may suit you...Not too pricey ones that should see you through the upcoming trip. (remember
raiders also get a discount)
Here is the link to their specials
on at the moment.
Give Pete a call, or even better..go out and check out his selection..Some nice gear in their shop.
Good luck on the hunt for a quick replacement rod and gl on the trip.
Cheers,
Pete.

You fellas sure had a blinder of a day, despite the gear losses and dawg overboard
Handlines eh!!! Lucky a hoody didn't take a fancy to that without wearing gloves

Can't wait to see the pics now.

Great all nighter on the good ship Day Release guys and gal.
Well done to Jess on your first kingie and your Dad is right..Frame the shirt...should look
(and smell) great hanging on the wall
Love the warpaint pic too...
That No Fishing sign reads to me "I.O.Fishing" as part of the "N" has rubbed off...maybe they mean
I owe fishing...as we all do with what we spend on gear.
Great and well written report as usual Murray.
Cheers,
Pete.

Cracker lizard Toby and those "punkin seeds sure do the trick for me too.
Those little pickers really annoy you...I got exaclty the same little chomps out of mine in the lake last week and they were bloody little toads.
The chopers sure make a mess of 'em too...tails always first to go, but I still managed to nail fish without
the tail..mosty smallish bream, and one decent flattie.
Glad the hangover didn't hamper your fishing too...
Cheers,
Pete.

Thousands of fish wash ashore after floods
Thousands of dead fish have washed up on the banks of the Richmond River since the weekend after the recent floods on the New South Wales North Coast.
The Department of Primary Industries (DPI) says the massive fish kill was caused by a dramatic fall in oxygen levels in the water, which can be attributed to the flooding.
DPI spokesman Marcus Riches says the situation is likely to get worse but the river is yet to be closed to fishing.
"We expect to see a continuation of what's happened over the weekend over the next couple of days," he said.
"As a result of that, we have teams out on the water inspecting the river again. We had teams out on Saturday and Sunday also, so we can get a bit of a picture of the scale of the impact."
Mr Riches says it is not yet known what sort of impact it will have on the local fishing industry.
"The next few days monitoring will help us make that assessment," he said.
"At this point, there is no closure in place. However, over the next few days, we'll certainly be talking to the wild harvest division of DPI and they'll be making a determination then."
Commercial fishers fear their operations on the Richmond River will be shut down for several months.
John Gallagher, from the Ballina Fishermen's Co-op, says a lack of oxygen in the water has left the river stinking and lifeless.
Mr Gallagher says it is the worst fish kill he has seen since 2001.
"It's disgraceful and it is shocking. It's heart-wrenching," he said.
"We're on the river just below Pimlico Island and the amount of prawns on the western-side bank - it is disgraceful to see them. It brings tears to your eyes, really does."

Sea expert Isobel Bennett dies, aged 98
Pioneering Australian marine scientist and author Isobel Bennett, who left school at 16 but went on to have a coral reef named after her, has died aged 98.
Dr Bennett, a self-styled seashore expert who was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of NSW, passed away at a nursing home in Mona Vale, in northern Sydney, about 5.30am (AEDT) Saturday.
Len Zell, adjunct senior lecturer in marine and tropical biology at James Cook University, has paid tribute to a woman he said was schooled in the "university of life" and had an insatiable curiosity.
"She achieved high standing as an Australian marine scientist, not by education, but by sheer hard work, determination, attention to detail and a never-ending curiosity that tired me out lifting boulders on many reef flats," Mr Zell said in a statement.
"The last time I was on Heron Island with her she was in her eighties, and we spent hours out on the reef flat turning boulders and photographing and discussing the critters there.
"The tide beat us and I had to carry her the last hundred metres to the beach. I was exhausted, but her enthusiasm drove me on."
Dr Bennett was born in Brisbane in 1909 and, as the eldest of four children, she left school at 16 to enter the workforce.
It was on a cruise with her sister to Norfolk Island in 1933 that she shared the cabin next door to marine professor William Dakin and his wife.
Dakin offered her a job plotting ship masters' logged positions of whales for his later book.
Dr Bennett went on to work for 40 years in the University of Sydney's zoology department.
"In 1952 she was the lone female with 118 males on board the Danish research ship Galathea which took her from Sydney to Adelaide and back to Melbourne," Mr Zell said.
"(Then) she and her assistant were members of the first four women scientists to visit Macquarie Island in 1959."
Dr Bennett also worked on the Great Barrier Reef between 1948 and 1970 and the acclaimed The Great Barrier Reef, one of her many books, was published in 1971.
"One genus and five species of marine animals and a coral reef were named after her," Mr Zell said.
"She made many world trips, expeditions and one highlight was whilst on a trip to Japan in 1967 she was asked to an audience with the Emperor of Japan, who was also a marine biologist."
Dr Bennett was the first person to receive an honorary Master of Science in 1963, from the University of Sydney.
She was made an Officer of the Order of Australia for her services to marine biology in 1984, and the honorary doctorate followed in 1995.
In her later years, Dr Bennett was focused on foreshore conservation issues and she was the driving force behind educational signage seen at many sites on Sydney's coastline.
Dr Bennett is survived by her sister Phyllis Bennett (AO).

'You guys rock': kayakers complete epic crossing
"Thank you so much New Zealand - you guys rock."
Those were the first words spoken by emotional Australian kayakers Justin Jones and James Castrission after wading ashore at end their marathon two-month crossing of the Tasman Sea.
More than 10,000 cheering onlookers watched as the pair paddled to Ngamotu Beach inside Port Taranaki. At 12.20pm they stopped paddling and sat about 10 metres off the shore as a local kapa haka group treated them to a rousing welcoming haka.
Supporting each other, they gingerly stood up from their seats to cheers of "Go Aussies!" from the massive crowd.
Then they jumped into the waist-deep water and, arm-in-arm, they waded ashore for a tearful reunion with waiting family.
"This feels bizarre - I can hardly walk," said Castrission after stumbling at one stage before he could reach his family.
And when asked by the Taranaki Daily News what their first thoughts were on finally landing, Justin Jones said "Thank you so much New Zealand - you guys rock."
Addressing the crowd a few minutes later the pair expressed their thanks to the people of Taranaki for their support over the last few days.
"Thanks Taranaki - you kept us going," said Jones.
The crowd reacted by breaking into song, roaring out a huge rendition of Waltzing Matilda.
The crowding is so severe that authorities have been forced to close all road entrances to the port - forcing onlookers to foot it to the kayak's landing point, Ngamotu Beach.
But they are still pouring to the scene. Several thousand people are waiting at the beach, and many more are lining the lee breakwater at the port's entrance.
"It's absolutely huge - the place is crammed with people," says Taranaki Daily News reporter Leighton Keith, who was aboard a boat following Justin Jones, 24, and James Castrission, 25, as they made their way to the finish.
Small boats, yachts, kayaks, surf club IRBs, coastal vessels, and even the Port Taranaki tugs joined a flotilla that accompanied the pair to the finish - with the tugs are adding to the festive atmosphere by spraying water into the air from their fire-fighting hoses.
"There are lots of video cameras out, helicopters overhead. It's all developing into something special," Keith said.
Jones and Castission paddled all yesterday until 1am today, then slept for two hours before picking up the paddles again at dawn today for their final run to shore.
Before they started their adventure they had hoped Sir Edmund Hillary would greet them on their arrival, but were told he was too sick.
Expedition spokesman Tom Mitchell said the pair were gutted to hear of Sir Ed's death on Friday, but were used it as inspiration to paddle without rest until their arrival.

Great duskies CaptHook. Looks like the birthday girl is in for some delicious
flattie fillets tonight.
Were you using artificials or bait today?
I had every intention of fishing the lake early this morning as well, but my dear
thought upsome chores for me to do
I don't like fishing the lake on Sundays much anyway..too many people.
Mid week is always way better for me.
Cheers,
Pete.

G'day Damien,
Just did a Whereis search and it's south of Newcastle...Got plenty of
water near it, so presumably fishing as well.
Never fished that area, so no help there I'm afraid. I bet there's a Raider from up that way can
help further.
Here's the Whereis map:
Cheers,
Pete.

Great stuff!!
Seems the stripeys are arriving now and well done to David & Peter on capturing their first
marlin.
60kg is a damned good fish in anyones book and in the sloppy conditions, even better.
That pennant pic shows just how untidy it must have been out there in the slop.
Bodes well for the season to see such fine captures.
Cheers,
Pete.

Great stuff Penguin..The old peeled prawn sure is working for you.

Well done. Not many fish on the couch I hear.
Cheers,
Pete.
