There are a lot of caravan parks long the river at Sussex Inlet where you can either tie your boat up or pull it up on the bank and they give you easy access to St Georges basin.

I went to Victoria with the RFS very early on Sunday morning and returned Thursday evening.
That song and the images hit the nail exactly on the head, mind you there were a couple of very scary images there for those who know what to look for.

I have just got back from a week in Victoria with the RFS. It is worse than the pictures in the paper show and there are some images I won't forget.
Having said that we arrived in the middle of Sunday and saved a town, so I'll focus on the positives.

My battery isolator switch on my Stacer seems to have crapped itself again. The first time it happened it was "fixed" under warranty but it has happened again. If I buy one from somewhere like Bias, are they difficult to replace myself or should I go to an auto electrician?
-
I had a similar problem with my Dad's old trailer and the problem was with the plug on the car. The installers had removed too much insulation and the contact was in that plug.

UHF is generally a land type radio.
Was your question maybe directed to the difference between 27 Meg & VHF radios?
No, I am trying to find a hand held 27 meg radio but am being offered "27 meg UHF CB radios" which I am assurred will pick up the marine channels, but I was a bit sceptical!
-
What's the difference between 27 MHz radios and UHF CB radios? Can you get the same channels on both radios or are they different frequencies?

iv been told that if you slice a tomato and rub it on your burn it works.. never tried it so dont quote me but yea.
My Mum used to do that when we were kids. If we came home sunburned she would make us take a hot shower and then run 1/2 a tomato on our backs. It did no good whatsoever other than to increase our pain and attract flies!
Seriously thought, I use liberal applications of a Chap Stick with a SPF of 15 or 30 which stops my lips drying out and protects against sun and wind burn.

Thanks for that Mariner 31. That's Badgee caravan park and we have stayed there a few times but now we stay in the cottages just down from there.
Did you get the poddies in the creek just before the bridge?
-
Is there any difference between the commercial berley's containing "biomarine extracts" (what ever they are) and plain layer pellets?
-
Which caravan park was that? There are about 10,000 caravan parks between the entrance and the basin!!!!

Hi Tim
I bought an Environet which while OK for a quick scoop was very hard to pull through the water if you had to chase a fish and we lost a number of good fish as a result.
I now have just a plain style landing net with a head diameter of 55cm with a 1 metre handle and it is fine for my 4.5 m boat. The net is called a Hawk Premium Landing Net and cost me about $25 from a tackle store.

We will be down there next week as well (where are you staying?) but have only ever fished the basin. I will also be interested in any responses you get.

Does anyone know where to catch poddy mullet in Sussex Inlet?
-
Hi there i use a $2 clear bucket with the lid replaced by fly screen with a small hole cut in to the fly screen works to well. Last week caught 63 poddies in 20 mins
Where did you get these?

A couple of years ago when I was in Victoria with the RFS I had a funnel web crawl up the undone chin strap of my helmet. I saw it out of the corner of my eye and threw the helmet as far as I could. When we went to the helmet and found the spider we had the same debate funnel web v trapdoor until it stood up on its back legs. I nearly had a heart attack....!

Thanks Stoney, its all good now!

Have the Forum settings changed because when I open a post, rather than the previous posts being shown below, I only have links to the previous posts?
Is this a Forum thing or something I have done?

any reason not to use braid, as 14 pound braid will be similar strength and be much better on the spool and cast further.
Because I have grown up using mono and probably as my son describes me, I'm a tight scab!
-
I put some 20lb mono on a Sienna 4000 series reel (with a view to chasing kingies) and the line just seems to be too big for the reel. Has anyone else thought this?

Ice
in Fishing Chat
I don't add salt to my ice as I always have a couple of frozen containers in the freezer and never know what they will be used for, it could be fishing or it could be beers for a picnic or barbeque (who needs salty beer!)
I have never found the need to make them last longer, the 4 litre container will last a couple of days in an esky.

Ice
in Fishing Chat
I make block ice using 2 and 4 litre ice cream containers. They take about two days to freeze through but last for ages.

My best ever was a jar of jelly babies way past their use by date!
