Top haul. Nice flounder. Well done.

I do a lot of beach fishing, but I use Penn reels. Miles better than the latest Shimano. If you are going Shimano, have a look at the Stradic or the twin power. There are also others in their range. Shimano don't seem to make reels like they use to ( IMO ) Good luck.

They make up the rules as the game goes on. Ask Gus Gould.

@Derny Driver I use Halco's off the beach & the rocks. I have several different sizes. You must put scent on them. I use Scent on everything. Cheers.

Tigers were robbed.

@Green Hornet The fresh squid wasn't working for some unknown reason. Switch to that new lure & landed two Snapper. You never stop learning when you go fishing. Cheers.

@blaxland The Ben as we call it is Ben Buckler Rocks at Bondi. If you ever go there make sure you check the weather forecast first. It can be wild. Always take somebody with you & wear all the right gear Top place to fish. My favourite along with Nth.Head at Manly. Cheers.

Great report & photos Nice Snapper Good Team effort.

I have read all the above with interest. But I will still stick to the old school version as above works for me. I still use top of the range Mono & no fancy knots. Half the price of Braid. Cheers.

Welcome aboard & good luck.

Also use a lure clip. it will save you a lot of leader. Cheers.

Mate rang from the East. The Ben on Friday. Love this place . Just different & challenging. A few tailor throw backs. Some other stuff undersize. Changed from bait to a new lure. Two Snapper later around 45cm. Went back to bait caught three Bonito & one Bream. Puppy will be happy. So will the neighbours. New lure was a 7'' Jerk shad Z Motor oil Scented Bait fresh squid. Watsons Bay Hotel for breakfast. As I said before, lots of memories at this hotel. Cheers.

Womens State of Orgin. Never watched this before. Not a bad game. Tough Ladies.

As Cameron Smith said a long time ago. Putting on a Qld State of Orgin jumper is like going to war for QLD. Look at the coaching staff & advisors QLd have. Slater, Smith, Thurston, Bennett & the list goes on.

Thats a top haul Mate. Great photo. Well done.

My Dad & Uncles always taught me the bait comes first. That is all the fish are interested in. Remember back in those days they used hand lines. I know people who still use hand lines. There are some of them on this Forum.

ST.George have fallen on the Sword. No Coach & the ST.George bank have given them the flick after 2024.

Latrell will be back. They need Damien Cook & Nicco Hines to play the full 80 mimutes.

You must have faith. NSW will be back.

I just want add to this. Prostrate problems. I was advised by a Specialist, once you hit forty, go & get a blood test every year onwards. Blood tests show up all sorts of things so I was advised. One Sunday night about two years a go i was having a couple of beers & i found I couldn't urinate. Thought nothing of it until the pain set in. Straight to the Hospital,where the Doctor put a tube in me & drained out 700ml of fluid. The Doctor then put anther tube in & attached a bag to my leg & said go & see your Gp tomorrow. Saw the GP, straight to a Specialst on the Wednesday. Admitted to hospital on the Friday where they operated on an oversize Prostate. I was home the following Tuesday all done. No bag. Told to rest up for a week. No Cancer. I was lucky. Get a blood test at least once a year. It could save your life. Cheers.

@Derny Driver They are still around. I picked up two at KM about six months ago. Cheers.

State of Orgin. Back to the drawing board for NSW. Not as dedicated as QLD.

Top report. Great photo.

Top video. Well done.

As they say. Keep on ''Truckin'' You win some you lose some. I remember one week where I went fishing. Caught nothing. Used bait & lures. Went back the next weeK, same place. Caught heaps. Cheers.
