SEAFEARER

Hey bretto, you may want to rephrase that statement,it's partly correct,you pack the camera but whether you put the card in the camera is a different story.

Boonga, Well done mate,great fin,seeing these fish on your post will have everybody excited and starting to get ready for a good season hopefully.Again well done and welcome to fishraider. Dave

That kingy looks to be in great condition,well done mate,nice fish Dave

Hey Bretto, stop looking at seabreeze because the more look at it the worse the weather will turn, and our weekend there full of high hopes will be down the tube.Just keep positive, flat bar, slight breeze,and a few mates taking there boats up for some hot action. Dave

Lukeric, I was going to ask you how have you been,and if anyone has raised any beakies out at the Kiama canyons,but you sounds like you've had your hands full up there in Coffs,sounds like a great trip. I can only hope i have the same success in S.W.R on the 6th feb.Going up with searabbit,and another mate so we'll have three boats covering a bit of ground.Nice big dollie like your beauties will do fine.Well done Dave

Nice kingfish there Dogtooth, sounds like you have the bay sussed out pretty well.Congrats again on some great kings

Well done Dogtooth,thats what fishing is all about, getting your mate out there for a fish and putting him onto a truly great kingy.Well done

No problems there mate, i'll get you out there again for sure, Searabbit was kicking himself when i told him how good the water was out there on Saturday,he thinks he missed he's opportunity.

thanks penguin, he made me work hard

No problems there mate, it was a little 5" lumo in bright green & yellow

Thanks mate,caught on the troll,using 15kg,first fish of the day, so didn't matter what happened for the rest of the day,i was rapt. Dave

Unfortunately that seems to be the case Ross,and you would know that better than the rest of us ,but in saying that these last couple of seasons seem to be an improvement on years gone by.Thanks for your reply Ross i appreciate it coming from a legend.

HI GUYS, WENT OUT FROM KIAMA ON SATURDAY IN SEARCH OF YELLOWFIN AND SOME ALBACORE, DIDN'T HAVE ANY LUCK WITH THE ALBACORE,BUT DID MANAGE THIS YELLOWFIN 57.5KGS,ALSO GOT 3 LITTLE FELLAS ALL ABOUT 6KGS.

Some great fish there,i think i'll have to get better scales, because looking at your fin i would've thought it would have gone over the 50kg mark.Have a look at the size of those sickles.Sensational .

Will do mate, Unfortunally due to kids footy presentations and then there baseball this weekend is a total loss on the fishing front,but hey hopefully they will be out there in good numbers the following week.If your going out this weekend i hope you get into them Dave

lukeric, Nice feed of albies mate, any reports of fin out at the canyons as yet?

steve, Yeah your right i still have all my marks stored in the unit,it was when i entered one of my wayward points i couldn't understand why i couldn't get a gps fix, then i pulled the side plug out ,that's when they would've heard me bellow in Cairns. Dave

I did ask her Mariner, with toungue in cheek remark and it got the response i thought i'd get.She likes to eat the fish i bring home anyway.It's just disappointing that there are these people out there who believe they dont have to work for anything,especially when you can steal it.

Guys, I just thought i'd mention something that has happened to me recently and to see if anyone else has had the same thing happen to them.Some sneaky low life has stolen my chip out of my navman depthsounder/gps unit.Went fishing last week , put my sounder on and could't get a gps fix.When i pulled the plug out of the side to my disgust my chip wasn't there.Some c l o w n has stolen it on my last trip at the wharf while i went to get the trailer,it had to happen at the wharf because i went straight home and put the boat in a lock-up garage,and it didnt move till last week.Just wondering has this happened to anybody else? Dave

Netic, Great haul of kingy's mate, always a great read after you've posted. And as usual i was skimming through the post just to get to the ending to see your fish,before going back and examining the post.With the amount of boats in middle harbour this weekend i might head offshore at Terrigal for a spot of jigging,and try for a kingy,they wont stand a chance in the harbour.Once again good to see you posting again

Well done waynie ,the missus has done a great job ,not just the fishing side of things,but for driving up there and camping all with baby on the way. Some good fish to be had as well.Wonder if the searabbit has seen your post yet,on thursday he was contemplating on going with you. Dave

peter , trolled from the 500 fathom out to 1000 where the water hit 20.3 and then cubed. Only managed a couple of stripy's,but they cubed up beautifully.we used about 15 kg of pillies,the fin were full of them.

HI guy's With all the fin around at the moment i had to get out there,arrived at the boat ramp to great conditions and the anticipation trebled for those on board as you got the feeling it was going to be a good day.About 10.00am we arrived at our spot water temp. reached 20.2 then stayed at that so we decided to start the trail, took a while but fin showed up at about 10.45,had a screamer of a run then hook pulled for some reason,disappointed but at least now we knew they were in the area.The next hit us at 11.30 and it was all hands on deck as the 2nd rod goes off. By 12.30 we had our third in the boat,we decided that was enough for the day and a long trip home we turned around and pointed fo shore.The fish went 27.5 ,28 and 38kg. Dave

1000 fathom line temp. went to 20.3

Lukeric, is your boat completely silver or polished aluminium,if so i think it might of been you i past yesterday when i was heading wide off shellharbour.We managed three fin ourselves all from 11.30 till 12.30, then headed in at 1.00 doing 27.5 knts all the way in water was sensational. well done on the fin.
