  1. Hi Scratchie,I swam in at Little Beach and was taken by the outgoing tide around to Shoal Bay,wearing only a mask and swimmers.Agreat drift seeing lots of marine and benthic life,tho a bit fast.Was later told of shark danger,didnt see any.What do you think ,as alocal?

  2. Hard to believe an expert cant find one.They are there all year off Sydney tho sometimes mainly undersize.I fish 55 -70 metres.Was thinking of the trapping but there are plenty out here with traps going.Great work with the"reverse surf club rubber duckie " technique.

  3. My custom made 4.5m Brooker is 20 years old without a crack or leak.Ican see therefore how repeat business has been poor.A very well made open tinny with a thicker hull and higher transom,using a small size outboard .Thanks Brooker.

     

  4. Pulling up an anchor in strong current in deep water can be deadly if the anchor rope is allowed to tangle around the prop in a smaller boat.I have experienced 3 frights in 50 years.This is is the worst case scenario when the current drives down the transom and the boater has to reach over to cut the rope.The best drive-off technique is to go at right angle to the current quickly and away from the rope and ball.No doubt others will have other methods. 

     

  5. Another way to target snapper is to anchor in 50/60/70 m if the current allows.Use 2 or 3 rods X 3 hooks on each with half pilly baits.Little fish will chew the baits thereby burleying up in the the right zone.Use squid bait after an hour or so when a few reddies have turned up.For bigger models suspend a bait 2/3m above the bottom,or a soft plastic if preferred.Although this is old school,it produces.
