Scratchie

Nice work Craig! Well, if one spot ain't working keep moving! Good to see you got a feed. Happy Easter mate! Cheers scratchie!!!

You are so good with your fish id blackfish! I would have just called it a "throwback".

I'm in......and I'll probably bring the whole family this time! Cheers scratchie!!!

Sweet!

Always a chance of me turning up! Lol....wouldn't miss freezing to death ever! Cheers scratchie!!!

The mullet have started to run! So find a nice gutter, a slab of mullet and your in with a chance. There should be some salmon and tailor about too! If not, beachworms are another good option! Cheers scratchie!!!

Got love Stockton beach! Fish are just a bonus! cheers scratchie!!!

I'll fish this method from 10-25m. Usually from structure to a drop off!! Works for me!

Persistence pays off Luke! Sometimes we get caught up on our first plan and forget to change things up when others aren't working! My go to, is burley and drift unweighted baits down the trail. You'll be surprised how often you'll come up tight! cheers scratchie!!!

Don't be too quick to jump on the button! We haven't heard everything just yet! The positive is our forum is still alive!

That story is gold! Would have liked to see how proud he is holding up his fish! Keep him at it, my kids still love coming fishing with me and the eldest has ticked his marlin box at 14yo! 3 generations fishing together is pretty cool too! I hope mine envite me when a pop! cheers scratchie!!!

Sorry to hear mate! Get well and see you on the hairtail grounds!

I knew we had a connection Harold! I lived in Winmalee for 20 years and own a business there! Done a fair bit of fishing at Yarramundi myself and with the family! Nice little spot to sneak down too on a Sunday morning! There's fish there but temperamental at times! Cheers scratchie!!!

Yes illegal unless they are licensed. Please report this to the authorities! Topic now locked! Regards scratchie mod team

Lol.... mate, I'm lucky to catch a cold on my last few outings! You have my number champ! If not, pm me and I'll send it to you!

Here here!!!

Hey Dave, Great part of the country to resettle into! The breakwall at Stockton is a good spot for many species and during winter the hairtail have been thick over recent years! The Bay Area is only 30 mins drive and has many options for land based fishos! If you up this way and want to wet a line off the stones send me a pm! cheers scratchie!!!

I'm not big enough to go on Sami beach! Lol

No need Baz, you have my number just give me a call

Nice work! Also great fun on the sambos. They really thicken up in the cooler months from Anna bay to Fingal. There's a lot of beach worms at Kingsley if you looking! Cheers scratchie!!!

I'm sorry! But it dawned on me this afternoon that life revolves in funny ways and most of the people that I spend my spare time with are fishraiders! Jody, that's enough friggin onions!

Interesting!!!! Ive got no idea!

It's closing at the end of June!

I know mate, but I couldn't write anymore as I got something in my eye! ?

Well fellow raiders, I was just sitting on my chair watching the footy and the phone rang. One of my mates called to say I left my jacket on his boat from our last trip out to Broughton. He said he'd bring it around. I said, no worries. We are off to boat harbour for a sausage on a roll and a game of cricket, you want to join us? Yeah sure and he brings his 2yo son. So we went down, nice arvo watching the sea eagles whilst the kids ran around. Last night I get a text from a mate up here telling me how he'd gone on his trip up the big gibber. Caught up with him over the tfbt too! He won the biggest bream for the Comp! Champion! Had a mate come up for the tfbt and out of his own money, bought us shirts with our names on them, hats and even a few spare for my kids! Whats my point, all these MATES I never would have met without Fishraider! To add, these are only a few of the people I now call mates! So I started to think about what I'll miss most! Firstly, meeting all you good folk out there when you travel up to gods country and give me a moment of your time! Then, a few other things..... yowies- hacking reports big Neil's- freshwater trips fab1- informative feedback on all things fixable! Blackfish and salty dog- knowledge on fish species! (Learnt heaps, thanks) stewy and swano- adventures (good to see swano being photographed last trip ) Donna- giving it to swordy on nearly every fishing trip! ? lyn and Geoff- who contribute to FR greatly. All the blackfishos, that have taught me what weed is actually for stapo- top bloke and his entrance reports! Gh-1952: taught me more about gamefishing than anyone and is always very generous to me and my mates! The hairtail social that I have freezed my arse off for the last 5 years! AND..........every single report that has been placed over the last 5 years, whether it was your first ever flathead, whiting or marlin because believe it or not, I have read every single one of them! The beauty of our beloved pastime, is that it overcomes all social, religious, racial and political divides and brings us all together for the same common goal! And how much fun is it!!! So tell me, WHAT WILL YOU MISS the most? Cheers scratchie!!!
