Thanks mate, i mainly want to chase Whiting for a feed, don't have a heavy outfit for Jewies at the moment.
Mark
If the beach is no good for whiting, you might try Narra Lake in front of the caravan park for some.
Have fun.
Cheers,
Pete.

That looks like a "Mullet Weapon Of Mass Destruction" there Roberta.
I bet it works a treat on the mullet as they just love to school around bread baits like that.
Good on ya for inventing such an awesome float.
If you want to name it..try The "Roberta Mugil Cephalus 4 In One Lure"!
Cheers,
Pete.

Hi Raiders.
Was down South over Christmas and got stuck into some beach fishing which i really took a liking to.
Going to head out to Dee Why on Saturday and was just after any local knowledge and tips to get me started. Any info would be helpful.
Cheers,
Mark.
G'day Mark.
Try the centre of Dee Why beach at night for jewies. Use squid strips or mullet fillets on a falling tide and
you should get amongst 'em.
Also heard good reports of whiting during the day using blood worms.
Haven't been down for a while myself, just 2nd hand info.
Good fishing.
Pete.

Nice pair of solid blackies there Roberta. You are the master at them. Were they both caught in weed?
Those mullet can be fun too. Don't they go when hooked!
Your method of bread baits is excellent and I may give that a shot at Narra Lake soon as there are
some thumper fellas in there at present.
Keep those reports a coming..always a good read.
Cheers,
Pete.

G'day Fishon and

If there are fish to be had down that way, these two will have surely found them.
Stay tuned for their report.

Hot water best for jellyfish sting
HOT water is the most effective way to relieve the pain of a jellyfish sting, a study has found.
Doctors and medical students at Busselton Hospital in Western Australia purposefully stung themselves with jellyfish to compare four popular treatments – ice, vinegar, aluminium sulfate and hot water.
“Hot water was the only successful treatment, relieving 88 per cent of the pain,” the team wrote in the latest Medical Journal of Australia.
“Other treatments were incomplete and temporary.”
They said that sting patients treated with hot water at about 45C got “significant” pain relief in 4-10 minutes, and the heat also appeared to stop inflammation.
“There is an urgent need for knowledge of this simple remedy to be spread,” said study author, Dr John Taylor.
“And there is the potential that it could even be lifesaving when used with more serious jellyfish stings in the north of Australia.”

Fish 'n flush
Fish and toilets are usually connected with the demise of a pet or a childhood prank. But a new product - Fish 'n Flush Aquarium Toilet Tank - is all about healthy fish and funky design.
The clear two-piece toilet tank replaces a standard tank with a fully functioning aquarium inside.
The tank fits most toilets and operates as a conventional interior tank, which is manufactured of clear PETG to ensure a strong and durable reservoir.
The aquarium will accept fresh water, as well as salt, warm and tropical water.
The 2.2-gallon aquarium piece can be easily removed for cleaning without interfering with the toilet's works. The toilet tank holds 2.5 gallons with enough flushing pressure. It comes with gravel, two plastic 9-inch plants, a dual filter system, LED lighting, a built-in feeder, fill valve, overflow tube, flapper, suction pump and two screws.

It now seems that Steve Irwin was almost bitten by a deadly sea snake the day before he died.
This story appears in today's newspapers including the picture of the snake.
Pete.
________________________________________________________________
Irwin's final stunt
ADVENTURER Steve Irwin diced with death on the day before he died when he was nearly bitten by a venomous sea snake after plucking it from the water in an action scene for his ill-fated television documentary.
As part of a show called Ocean's Deadliest, Irwin is seen swimming with the 2m snake before lifting it out of the ocean for the camera. But seconds later he had a lucky escape when the snake nearly bit him.
The sequence was filmed on September 3, the day before he was fatally wounded when a stingray's barb pierced his heart.
In the show, which will appear in Steve's Australia on the Discovery Channel next year, Irwin tells the camera: "Here is the biggest sea snake I've ever seen in my life.
"His body is fatter than my arm and almost as fat as my leg.
"What a ripper."
Irwin said the snake must have fangs "chockablock full of venom", but is fairly gentle and non-aggressive unless it is angry.
But as he stands chest deep in clear blue water the snake turns on Irwin.
Irwin shrieks: "Lucky he didn't have his mouth open there. You could see how 'ol Steve-O could've taken a hit."
Three of his colleagues, including Philippe Cousteau, grandson of the famous oceanographer Jacques Cousteau, are seen in a small boat bobbing behind him. The next day, Irwin would spend his final moments on the boat's deck as friends tried to save him.
Cousteau completed Ocean's Deadliest alone in the weeks after Irwin's death. He is seen diving with great white sharks and handling the most toxic creature in the ocean, the box jellyfish.
Irwin's death is never acknowledged in the documentary and Cousteau explains the Crocodile Hunter's absence from some sequences by saying Irwin was "on the mainland, setting crocodile traps".
Different portions of the show, some with Irwin and some without, are edited out of chronological order to make it appear as if Irwin comes and goes.
An Animal Planet spokesman said that producers had intended to include both adventurers in every sequence.

Sadly , as the Holiday Season progresses , we will probably hear more of this sort of thing. Just this morning 1 adult and 2 children were badly burnt when the boat owner tried to start his boat WHILE refuelling.
Ross
Yes, here is the story on that boat explosion on the Central Coast today.
A very unfortunate incident which has injured 2 girls.
Pete.
Boat explosion at NSW marina injures two
A boat has exploded at a marina on the NSW central coast, injuring a woman and a young girl, a NSW Ambulance spokesman says.
The incident occurred at the Booker Bay Marina at about 10.30am (AEDT).
A 37-year-old woman suffered burns to her legs and a four-year-old girl suffered burns and singed hair.
The spokesman said both were taken to Gosford Hospital in a stable condition.
Fuel vapour culprit in marina blast, say police
A FAMILY of four had a narrow escape after their motorboat exploded into flames on the New South Wales central coast.
The 6m cabin cruiser went up in flames at the Booker Bay Marina about 10.30am (AEDT) today when the owner turned the ignition key after refuelling.
Fuel vapours and a spark from the ignition are believed to have triggered the slipway blast, police said.
The owner, his wife and their two daughters – aged one and four – escaped the flaming vessel relatively unscathed.
The family, from Sydney's North Shore, were taken to Gosford Hospital, where the 32-year-old woman received treatment for minor burns.
The children were not hurt, but were kept under observation for several hours, while the man escaped injury entirely, a hospital spokeswoman said.
Fire crews worked for more than an hour to contain the blaze, which completely destroyed the boat.
The Waterways authority was investigating the circumstances of the blast.

That is a great report on a top day's fishing. Those overseas visitors must have
been gobsmacked by the variety of fish you got today!!
That big flattie looks like one healthy specimen and the rest will make for a great feed.
I bet the visitors will go home raving about their fishing day for years to come.
It's trips like that that you dream of and to have some "newbies" on board to share it with
is an added bonus.
Congratulations on a wonderful day.
Cheers,
Pete.

Well done David. That looks like a top day on the water to me.
A PB thrown in for good measure as well as a good feed of kings. I can see why you have that
big smile on your face.
Those Watto's lures sure were the goods today!
Congrats on a great day and thanks for a great report.
Cheers,
Pete.

Fishermen rescued after boat capsize
FOUR fishermen said they were lucky to be alive after their boat capsized off north Queensland today.
Two brothers, their cousin and an uncle were left shivering on top of their overturned 8m catamaran powerboat when one of the hulls began taking on water in rough seas around 4.40am (AEST) today about 130km off Mackay.
“It was so cold, waves were just breaking over us and then there was the wind,” survivor Andy Milosevic told Channel 10.
The CQ Rescue Service chopper reached the upturned powerboat at about 8am (AEST) and winched the four men to safety.
“When CQ came, I forgot I was cold and it was just 'Yeah, save us, save us',” he said.
Another survivor, Nick Lehner, said the radio was working, they could not pump out the starboard bilge, and tried unsuccessfully to bail out the sinking vessel manually.
“It got to the stage where it just flipped and we jumped on the roof (hull) and you know, prayed,” Peter Milosevic said.
Eventually, they managed to dive under the hull to activate an EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon).
They waited another hour for the rescue helicopter to arrive, winch them to safety and fly them back to Mackay for a check-up in hospital before being allowed to go home.
The fishermen said they have no plans for more fishing trips in the near future.

Leaping dolphin injures woman in NZ
A dolphin that jumped into a boat off New Zealand's North Island badly injuring a woman, was probably a world first, says an expert.
The 27-year-old woman was struck by the leaping dolphin near Slipper Island in the western reaches of the Bay of Plenty on Tuesday afternoon.
She was admitted to Auckland Hospital's intensive care unit in a serious condition.
The dolphin was unharmed.
Dolphin expert Alan Baker described the incident as a freak accident.
"I've been studying dolphins for 40 years and this is the first time I've heard of a dolphin jumping into a boat," he told National Radio.
"More often a boat hits a dolphin rather than a dolphin hitting a boat.
"This is, I think, a unique occurrence and a most unfortunate one indeed."
Dr Baker was not aware of the exact circumstances of the incident, but said dolphins were very acrobatic animals so if a boat was travelling at speed that could have been a contributing factor.
"They jump for various reasons - courtship, just announcing that they're in an area to other dolphins - and if the boat was travelling at speed and came across a pod that was jumping a dolphin could be caught unawares and just end up landing in a boat," he said.
Dolphins normally had very good judgment and were often seen in close proximity to boats, he said. The one involved was possibly a bottlenose, which can grow up to four metres in length.
"They do a lot of jumping and twisting and turning and flopping and carrying on," he said.

Japanese fisherman finds bag of money
ISHIKAWA, Japan, Dec. 25 A Japanese fisherman had the catch of his life when he landed a bag filled with 8 million yen ($67,000) in 10,000-yen bills in Hakusan, Ishikawa Prefecture.
The police said the man was attempting to fish for sea perch when he felt his line snag on something, the Yomiuri Shumbun reported Monday.
After pulling the moneybag, which also contained antiseptic and some paper, out of the water, the man reported it to local police.
Police said the man would get to keep the money unless the original owner comes forward to claim it within six months.
The Hakusan city government will hold the money as a flotsam object as defined by the Sea Disaster Relief Law until then.

Hope to see you on the beaches at some time.
They are firing at the moment too. Try the middle of the beach at Dee Why for some whiting on a rising tide.
Don't make the mistake of casting out too far, they are right in the first break below your feet.
Bloodworms are a must though.
Cheers,
Pete.

Well, christmas being my bday i figured the fishing gods owed me something special on two counts.
I went down with some friends and family to the spit and fished under the bridge. Not much happening on bait so I let the others stick with that and changed to the plastics. After a few casts I landed my first ever fish on any type of lure - a 35 cm flatty. I was esctatic to say the least. The flatty joined an octupus we already had in the bucket.
There were some fish jumping in the middle of the channel, near where the bridge opens. Explained to the fellas that the sinkers they were using to get out that far were going to take the bait well below the fish and then saw glinting in the streetlights an unopened box of asorted slices and spoons belonging to a mate who had never used a lure. Tied one on and after a couple of casts managed to land one on a tailor's head. Pulled in 5 or 6 myself, 2 to another guy who was using a slice and 0 fish of any type to the bait guys. Admittedly the bait was frozen so this wasn't a very fair test. 2 of the tailor were just over legal and we took one of them to fill out the meal.
Was the first time I successfully used a lure, with firsts on SPs and HBs and my first legal tailor.
Well done on the lures. Glad it was a decent flattie too.
It must have made your Birthday and Xmas as well. It must be tough having both fall on the same day
as you must feel like you miss out somewhere.
Good on you for making it such a memorable day.
Cheers,
Pete.

Thanks for that info Cameron.
The reel sure looks the goods..very solid and well made.
I looked at that backlash device and wondered how it worked. The old thumb might be
a better bet though I think.
I must get it down to the beach one day to give it a run.
Thanks again for filling me in on the old Pflueger.
Cheers,
Pete.
