My question is does it even matter what it was when it is no longer what it was? Enjoy it for what it is and get out there.
Nice boat.

for any species I bring back such as bream, flatties etc (legal of course)
Come fishing with me and you won’t have to worry about bringing anything back or build a pond.It’s a win win for you.

Yep, better than nothing, however, just enough for a feed.
Thank you.
The bait sits a short distance above the sinker, yet the occies hang onto the sinker.
Just a meal. Hoping the occie would hang on a bit longer after being retrieved from near 200 feet down, but no, he had to let go of the sinker at the surface.
Thanks Fab.
Have not heard from you for a while, though the fishing is a bit quiet due to the cooler weather and water temp.
Been overseas working on maintaining my 128kg of pure manly sexiness eating,drinking and being merry.

You’re all wasting your time whinging and arguing as the Tigers will walk away with the trophy this year.

I couldn't stand it either Fab. No way could I find joy in sitting amid the traffic during these extra-busy holiday periods. Can't say I have ever enjoyed massive crowds of people and vehicles, nor the additional costs of travel in peak times. If possible, I limit my travel to off-peak times.

I don’t blame you mate.We did that when the kids were small.Now they’re grown I have gone one better and don’t go anywhere .

I rarely fish at Easter ,Christmas or school holidays and I plan my holidays so they fall before or after the school holidays . Unfortunately the hoards of grey nomads out there also do this - they bail out of the camp grounds just before the holidays only to descend upon them like a locust plague when school goes back.
My last holiday was in 2001.Thank god I don’t have to worry about anything anymore.

We are starting to fill up around town down here in Narooma. Hopefully no more risks taken on the bar as the conditions are starting to look poor from here for the entire easter break.
I wouldn’t hold your breath mate as stupid in society is getting worse and it’s unfixable.

The Easter Eggs & the Prawns & Lobsters that are coming will be out of control.
Sorry you have to work, but somebody has got to support us.
Happy Easter.
Cheers.
Don’t be sorry mate.At 3.5 hrs for the first six and then 4.5 hours for the next 6 after midnight I’ll have to tighten my belt so my pants don’t fall down from the weight of the $$$for the shift.Tax man and you will love me tonight though too.
No Easter eggs, prawns and lobsters will be seen at my place mate.
just another day.

Happy Easter everyone.

Those squid spikes are meant to be quite effective with whiting or pillis. I haven't personally tried but did see some people using them to great success and asked the tackle shop about them and they said that they're worth using when the squids aren't hitting jigs
I’ve seen people catching squid using pilly’s on them.One thing I know is they’re cheaper than some of the proper squid jigs.

My brother in-law is 10,000 times better angler than me does this with great effect on the drift.He uses soft plastics drifting with a patternoster too.
The weirdest thing I’ve ever seen is a guy catch a squid with one of those squid spikes pierced through a hot dog with a ball sinker above it when I was on holidays.😂😂
I guess anything works at times hence people catching fish with bare hooks,using spoons as lures etc.

Have not heard from Fab for a while. Last report, he had skinned knuckles. 🦈
The mrs has been nursing me back to health mate.😂😂Good work as always mate.

Fishing on all wharfs should be banned and big fines applied.It amazes me the amount of imbeciles that think wharfs are put there for people to fish off.
My pet hate.

When you work night shift ,am / pm, day /night and which day of the week it is becomes a blur- I have trouble remembering what year it is let alone remembering something from school ( not that I was ever there ) 😂
I can relate working nights mysel.The other night I dated all my paperwork (12 hours worth) 1985.😂😂

Ok , gave this a go on Saturday . Not difficult but I found the half hitch either came loose or it ripped the head of the prawn off . I ended up putting the half hitch around the head and hook which seemed to keep it all together . The way Yowie does his is easier and I found I can feed the hook in the Botton of the head and out at the tail then put a half hitch around the hook and head and lock it so it holds the head in place - more experimentation needed !
I just think Bugger it and toss bare hooks in for my usual results of Nada,Zilch,nothing to save time.
