Beautiful work mate and nice photos too Lovely way to spend some quality time with your kids. Enjoy the rest of your leave and no doubt the little fella will be asking you to take him back there again. Ian

That looks very nasty Lyn. Good to hear that you got the hooks out without any damgage and that was a cheeky joke from the ambulance officer. Enjoy your trip and hope you get in amongst some nice fish. Congratulations on becoming a Gold Member by the way. All the best Ian

Great work Trevor and well done on some quality fish. It was great to meet you at the social too. Thanks for sharing and keep up the top work. Ian

Great report and lovely bag of fish. Very well done. Ian

Nice work Waz Keep it up and there will be more bream for you. Great stuff! Ian

Well done Andrew on getting into a few nice fish Keep up the great work on SP. Ian

Congratulations Richard and very nicely done May this be the first of many more for you on SP. Well done and keep it up! Ian

Terrific effort and great exciting post Whitewash! Very well done Sir! Ian

Don't give up mate it's all about perservering and eventually the results will come and when they do you won't look back. As Ryder mentioned try to fish around the high tide if you can. If conditions allow maybe try a 1/16 jig head with those SPs and see how you go. The 1/16 will have a slower sinking rate than the 1/8 and you will still be able to get a reasonable cast in. If you do find yourself fishing next to someone using bait and don't get any hits it's probably best to move further along the shore away from them as the theory is that the fish will 'switch on' to the bait used and focus their attention on that rather than the SP. Covering ground on the shoreline is also important so after several casts in one spot without any hits move a little along the shoreline until you do get in amongst action. Good luck and hang in there and hope you get onto some nice fish on SP very soon. Ian

Great work as usual Yowie Solid bream and good on you on the release too. Nicely done Sir! Ian

Amazing first post and some classy fish landed Junior Excellent stuff and another nice feed of fresh seafood for the Scratchie Family. Keep up the nice work and we look very much forward to more reports from you. Don't forget to do your homework before going out fishing Well done Ian

Nice work Witha that's a solid healthy looking fish Congratulations on the PB too!! Very well done and keep it up mate. Good luck today on the Georges River. Ian P.S. I was showing my young fella the photos of the Social and he saw you and said "That's Witha"

Great story Camo and well done on a few nice fish. Good on you for getting out there in the cold and keep up the nice work. Ian

Beautiful stuff Scratchie!! Top read and nice photos. It was lovely to meet you and the family at the social. Looks like the Scratchie Family is cashing in on all the new found SP skills learnt at the social!! Nicely done and congratulations especially to Tiny Scratchie for a magnificent PB at such a young age I bet the catch cooked up nicely too. There's no shortage of fresh seafood at the Scratchie residence that's for sure. Thanks for sharing. Ian

It was great to meet you too Witha. Yeah the young fella was itching to practice his casting not long after we arrived but I explained we are here for a 'fishing lesson' then we will have the chance to fish later. Then when he does finally have a cast he casts his line straight over yours .... good thing we are Raiders!! Good luck with the kayak and great looking new outfit mate and looking forward to your future reports. Ian

Well done on some nice fish Sorry to hear about the flathead, sounds like a handsome fish you had there and because you had it in your hands you can count it as a capture with your name on it. Don't forget to take a net with you for situations like this. Keep up the great work. Ian

That's amazing!! Great shot and thanks for puting this up. That's one lucky frog all right. Ian

Terrific effort Baba Great first post and to the Forum. Well done and thanks for sharing. Ian

Great stuff Andrew It was nice to meet you at the Social yesterday and good on you for getting maximum out of the day and cashing in on some nice fish on the way home. Keep up the top work! Ian

Thank you so much Donna & Stewy and the Admin Team for organising and carrying out such a successful and memorable day Thanks very much also to the exceptionally talented and generous mentors we had on the day: Andrew, Pete, Trevor & Dave giving up your Sunday to help out so many and congratulations for becoming Gold Members. Andrew (The Iceman) you were simply amazing the way you generously and patiently shared so much of your skills and knowledge with the group I was in. The stories you told were very entertaining too. I hope I didn't wear you out with all the questions I bombarded you with! Thanks very much Andrew much appreciated indeed and I learnt so much from you and looking forward to putting it all into practice Thanks Deano, Stephen and the BBQ Chefs for preparing delicious bacon & egg rolls and sausage sandwiches for everyone, it was very nice to have hot food and a hot cuppa on a rather coolish windy autumn day Geoff and Lyn thanks very much for the generous gifts you provided on the day. My young boy was over the moon when he received the fishing game from you and I look forward to sitting down with him and the family and playing it!! Thanks also to the Scratchie Family, Deano and Yarrone for travelling considerable distance to participate on the day.... I hope you all had a safe and pleasant trip home. The thank you list goes on and on, so anyone else who generously gave up their time to help out in one way or another, your efforts and contributions are very much appreciated by all. It was great to meet so many Raiders and put names to faces and I must say what I experienced on the day confirmed to me that Fishraider is one big happy family All the Best Ian

Top action packed report and congratulations on a ripping fish! Nicely done and thanks for sharing. Keep up the great work. Ian

Lovely report Paikea and nice photos! Sounds like a great trip away with the family and to top it off with some very nice fish. That last photo of the beach through the trees is beautiful ....sure does look like a magic place. Great work and thanks for sharing. Ian

Thanks for the generous update Ryder! Hopefully some Raiders can benefit from this. Ian

Top first post mate! Great work and nice write up of your adventures too! That's a quality bream and I hope they only get bigger for you now. It won't be long before you move up to the massive sized category. Keep it up. Ian

Hey Stewy, Could you please add my young boy to the list as he is keen as mustard to come along and join in on the fun and learn from the best Also for those who don't have a fly rod, is it necessary to have one on the day to participate in the fly casting workshop? Looking very much forward to the day. Special Thanks & All the Best Ian
