What a shame...he missed Viv Richard's record, but he's still a legend.
Smashing the Poms like that one over was worth waiting for.
You would think it's a one day match instead of a test.

Lovely boat Dave...I bet you can't wait to launch her.
Do you have a name picked out yet? Gotta be Offtap something.
Cheers,
Pete.

You are added Terry..
Thanks also for the deckie pozzie.
Look out Kings!!

That truly sucks Ross. These lowlifes will probably try to offload them
either at a pub or a pawn shop for a few bucks.
I really hope you can recover them.
It's the feeling of violation of your private space that really gets your back up.
Keep your eyes and ears open Fishraiders...these pond scum have to be nailed.
Sorry to hear about your loss Ross.
Cheers,
Pete.

are there earlier fire works for the kiddies at 8pm this year
might just go for that !!!!!!
do you think its to stupid to go in a 4.2m boat
G'day Caine, The kiddies fireworks this year are at 9pm. At 10pm and 11pm, there are mini light shows revealing the bridge "effect", then at midnight...the big kahuna.
A 4.2 should be OK as long as you are there early and avoid the bigger craft. Try and find a secluded spot.
Probably impossible with the traffic that's expected..
Cheers,
Pete

One and all.
Don't be a stranger go ahead and ask questions or post your reports.
This is a very friendly site with members more than willing to share their fishing skills
and secrets with you.
I'm sure you will enjoy your time on here.
Cheers,
Pete.

A fine couple of specimens there. I have heard great reports lately of the bream on the Nthn. Beaches, as well as jewies.
Glad you scored a couple of those silver fighting machines.
Cheers,
Pete.

Thanks Pete
Do you berley them up with bread as normal, or use other methods?
Thanks Dan
Dan,
The way Terry(Kingy) taught me was just very mushed up bread in half a bucket of sea water (almost like soup) and a few drops of tuna oil. Not too much or they'll go off the bite.
Thanks Terry, it worked a treat last Monday.
Cheers,
Pete.

Hey All
Myself an my brother are heading up to "The Basin" near West Head in Pittwater for a few long, relaxing days of
with maybe a few thrown in as well....Anyhow my question is I know you can get squid from the Basin, and West head sometimes, is there anywhere else we can gather bait???
Cheers
Dan.
PS Dont mind if the bait isnt squid, ie yakkas, etc. Thanks
Hi fellas, there were heaps of yakkas about 20 metres east of the pillbox at West Head last monday. They were massing around the boat like flies. I got about 20 in 5 mins. Burley up and you are away.

looks pretty bad but when i was down der looked alright i usually fish near the playground area next to the right of the ramp and about 20metres right to the playground area is that place good for tailor and flathead also is there any jewfish der?
There are jewies in the lake but you need a boat to access them. They are in the deep holes in the back of the island. Last year there were quite a few taken but I haven't heard any report so far this year.
That spot near the ramp is OK for tailor too. A bit further around towards the cricket nets is also good.

Damn nice bream Darcy. Fat too.
I just might have to get me some of those shrimp to try soon..I have been hearing such good reports about them.
Cheers,
Pete.

gday fellow raiders
Hit narrabeen lake early sunrise and straight away got into some nice size bream but soon later all the small ones started to show up and the mullet stayed for around 5hours wit only bream and mullet had a squid strip out twice dat a fish took but wouldnt hook up kept takn the hole thing my rod will bend but not hook up anyone kno wat fish it mite be and last yr i remeber catching in one session around 20tailor and 10flatheads in 2hours do u guys kno where the flathead and tailor have been when do they come to the lake also wat can i expect big there?
G'day Kabz. The tailor are in the lake at the moment. Mostly choppers but the occasional thumper.
The mystery fish that kept hitting you rod may have been a bream or a tailor that failed to take the hook..especially using squid as it is pretty tough bait.
I went down to the lake this arvo for a quick session and managed 2 just sized flatties and 4 barely legal bream in an hour. (all released).
The level in the lake is shocking at the moment. It looks like someone pulled the bathplug!
It is a good 3/4 of a metre off it's usual levels. The opening has done nothing but drain the lake as the high tide barely washes and water back into the lake. that may change when we get a good high tide soon.
Here are a few snaps of the water level in the lake and the vast amount of exposed sand and mud on the shore.
It's also getting a little pongy with exposed weed.
Cheers,
Pete.

Check the story in the Library Humesy.
It fell down on Tuesday afternoon and Sydney Ports have demolished it
and are installing a replacement. There are 4 bouys where it used to be, plus a barge
I suspect at the moment.

White river dolphin declared extinct
A TEAM of foreign and Chinese scientists have failed to find an endangered dolphin during a six-week trip on China's mighty Yangtze river, making it all but certain the rare animal is extinct.
"We have to accept the fact, that the baiji is extinct. We lost the race," said August Pfluger, co-head of the expedition and chief of Swiss-based baiji.org, an environmental group dedicated to saving the dolphins.
"It is a tragedy, a loss not only for China, but for the entire world," admitted Mr Pfluger in a statement at the end of the six-week expedition.
Scientists estimate the baiji dolphin has lived on earth for up to 25 million years.
Mr Pfluger admitted that it was possible that one or two animals had been missed despite the use of high-tech optical and acoustic equipment, as well as a group of trained observers.
The baiji, believed to be among the world's oldest fresh-water mammals, made its home along the lower reaches of the China's environmentally degraded Yangtze River.
The cousin of the bottlenose dolphin had been critically endangered for years, a victim of devastating pollution, illegal fishing and expressway-like cargo traffic on the river.
Although the baiji had not been officially sighted in more than two years, scientists from China, Japan, Switzerland and the US had hoped that the 1750km search from Yichang to Shanghai would turn up the white dolphin.
The two expedition ships carried out the same procedures travelling and returning to Yichang, near China's massive Three Gorges dam.
Marine biologist Wang Ding, who has dedicated his life to the study of the baiji and another Yangtze dweller related to the dolphin, the finless porpoise, refused to give up hope.
"Although the expedition did not find any baiji, we still cannot merely rely on the expedition to conclude that the baiji is extinct," said the vice director of the hydrobiology institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Scientific data indicates that more than 90 per cent of baiji deaths were caused by human encroachment.

Anyone catch Nine's news tonight? They had a story on new "Dome Homes" for fish at Lake Macquarie,
Here's the story from Nine's website:
Fish given experimental dome homes
By Dale Paget
National Nine News
Hooking fish could become easier in New South Wales with the early success of an unusual artificial reef program.
Scientists are monitoring fish activity around hundreds of submerged concrete domes which could eventually be used to build a reef in the ocean off Sydney.
National Nine News was given an exclusive tour of one of the experimental reefs located in Lake Macquarie, south of Newcastle.
Cameraman Matt Coble and I were guided by reef researchers seven metres below the surface to the strange city of domes. The water was murky and the domes — or "reef balls" as they are called — were covered with a coat of algae.
Our arrival caused the fish to disperse, but after a few minutes schools of bream returned.
Prior to the construction of the artificial reef the bottom was silt and sand and offered lean pickings for fishermen. Now a variety of sea life have moved in.
"We're seeing some unusual fish, some pelagic fish like amberjack and yellow tail king fish that, this far into the lake, we really didn't expect," said researcher Heath Follt.
Because of the cloudy water scientists are using a new underwater camera called a Didson to monitor the evolution of the reef.
Like an ultrasound machine the camera uses sound waves to create a picture of the reef and any fish that take up residence.
Reef balls were also used in the ocean off Phuket in Thailand to encourage the recovery of marine life after the 2004 tsunami.
Hundreds of the reef balls have been dropped into Lake Macquarie and at another experimental site in Botany Bay.
"We're very confident these artificial reefs will make a difference," said NSW Primary Industries Minister Ian Macdonald.
Lake Macquarie fishermen say they already have.
"You can go there any time of day or night and pull fish," said charter boat operator Brad Minors. "It's helping tourism."

A big
to you Matt.I hope your time on here is as productive as it has been for me.
Don't be afraid to ask questions as there are many members here willing to help.
Cheers,
Pete.

Take a look at this guys
http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/leadin...5685679707.html
Well how about that eh!!
After all these years it's finally gooooone.
I wonder if the kingies will hang around the new one.
It was truly a Sydney Harbour landmark. I even remember that as a kid the first time i was on the Manly Ferry and it stuck in my mind the first time I clapped eyes on it.

Hey guys, Yesterday i spent some time looking over previous posts from throughout the year.
Saw many posts of people wanting to get certain species of fish they i know they now have got.
eg....cant wait to pop my king cherry
Just thought i would start a thread about our acheivements this year and what we hope to get over the next year.
My biggest acheivement would be the YFT we pulled in this year......Loved the action and really gave me something to look forward to each weekend during winter.
Over the next year my focus is definately switching to getting a Marlin of a trailerboat and i cant wait till we nailed one for this summer.
My highlight of the year would have to be the PB flattie I got in Narra Lake last month at 75cm.
It truly made my day.
The other highlight is being asked to be a moderator and becoming a gold member on here..it was truly an honour to help out in some small way.
The only other thing would be to get hold of a kingy..any size..that would really make my fishing year complete...I hope to achieve that, if not this year, then at the social in January.
On a more personal level..to be able to retire at age 55 last July was also a big highlight. Now I can spend more time fishing!!

Fishers' group backs 'floating prison'
From ABC Online
A group representing professional fishermen in the Kimberley, in northern Western Australia, has welcomed the purchase of a heavily armed Customs ship as the latest tool against illegal fishing.
The 98-metre diesel-electric powered trimaran, the Triton, will have the capacity to detain foreign fishers at sea before they are transferred to shore for prosecution.
The ship, dubbed a "floating prison", will be deployed for 12 months, costing about $17 million and will be based in Darwin.
Alan Fraser of the Kimberley Professional Fishermen's Association says the money is being well spent.
"We're talking hundreds of boats within our fishing zone at any given time and they only have the capacity to catch a few of them," he said.
"This will certainly give them the ability to round up a lot more boats and send a very strong message to the criminal syndicates that run these operations that it's no longer going to be viable to carry on this way."

Pair summonsed over alleged illegal fish haul
Two Northern Territory men will be summonsed after allegedly being found in possession of an illegal fish haul after a week-long boat trip near Borroloola.
Police have seized two cars, a boat, trailer and fishing equipment worth more than $75,000 after the pair allegedly exceeded amateur fishing possession limits after spending last week at King Ash Bay.
Police say a search of eskies and freezers by the Marine and Fisheries Enforcement Section uncovered 80 barramundi and 61 golden snapper.
The bag limit is five per person.
A 52-year-old Alice Springs man and a 35-year-old man from the Darwin suburb of Karama will be summonsed for exceeding catch limits.

That's good Jethro. Glad you kept it's head and sent another email off to Kevin.
This where Fishraider members working with bodies like Fisheries can have a positive impact on the state of health of our waterways.
It's mostly through input from Rec. fishos that things like this come to light.
In Kevin's email ,he seemed genuinly interested in this problem and at least they will perhaps look into what in causing this phenomenon.
Please keep us all posted.
Cheers,
Pete.
thrown in as well....

On ya Dave, at least you gave it a shot.
Some days are gems, others just rocks.
A day on the water was still probably preferable to mowing lawns and doing domestic rubbish like I had.
Hope you do better next outing.
Cheers,
Pete.
