Cheers scratchie!!!

Great job mr. Groper! You certainly did have your own social. They're a great fish to target and by the looks of dinner they went down a treat!
Cheers scratchie!!!

A great place to start is a book called "Hooked"
You can buy it in most newsagents for around $25.
It will show you many spots to fish and what you catch there. It's my bible!
It also explains techniques, bait needed, rigs etc!
Good luck and tight lines!

Luv to hear how you go with it Scratchie, Im bordering on dipping a paddle in the water, just need to understand how the effort versus reward equation pans out.
Cheers Blood Knot
Hey blood knot,
I'm keen to find out too! One of my mates up here is right into it and he's pulled some great fish out. He's promised to take me to a special spot where he got a 55cm bass. Only accessible in a yak! So fingers crossed I do more fishing than swimming!
Cheers scratchie!!!

Just bought one today online. The price was negotiable but paid $369. This comes with all the extras, back support, 5 rod holders etc.
I know this is bottom of the range but I'm an absolute novice and figured that even if its not the best, I can learn and the 4 kids can then have fun with it.
Also because I'm a tad lazy, in couple of weeks will be fitting a mincota to it as well.
Will let you know how I go with the fishing on it!
So watch this space kayak crew!

Nice work Pete! Hopefully this month you can win cotm! But great effort having something to submit 2 months in a row! It's been a very productive winter for you! Hope the warmer months are as kind to you as well.

Gotta love when a plan comes together!

That's awesome! We should all do what we can to help others, but sometimes we are such caught up in our own world that we forget others exist!
Good on ya! Will do the same the next time I see someone in trouble!
Cheers scratchie!!!

I think Scratchie and Shroom killed them all. I do believe that they are once again extinct.
That is what Diesel and I did in the social... It was pretty damn good fun hehehe.
Luc, we did make the hairtail extinct and we also drank all the whiskey! Well I did anyway.
Cheers scratchie!!!

Awesome report ray with great pics! There is something special about seeing pics off the stones! I'm more excited about rock fishing everytime I see it and do it! Congrats!
Cheers scratchie!!!

Haven't heard of any since the last cracking session me and nbdshroom had! Hope we didn't catch them all. Lol.
However, they should still be around but I don't think in the numbers they were a few weeks ago!

To be broad, a multitude of problems but the main concerns include brain damage and organ failure (kidney, lungs etc.). This depends on the exposure and type (elemental, salt or organic). The mercury interferes with a trace essential element (selenium) which is present in enzymes that help to restore the antioxidant properties (i.e. reduction) of antioxidants (e.g. vit C) that prevent oxidation (i.e. damage) inside cells. Once you take that out, oxidative damage can occur over time without a means of reversal and as oxygen use is the highest in the brain, then basically your brain and its function erodes away over time! There are a number of diseases brought on by increased mercury poisoning which pretty much lump together the symptoms if I am not mistaken.
I'll take your word Pete! Mercury in fish, will cause problems but you need to catch em before you can eat em! Lol
Haven't seen a report for a while big fella???
Cheers scratchie!!!

OK so pm is "personal message"? I went to my page in members section but can't see any message?
It's there. Top right hand corner, there should be a red flag. Click on it.

OK have some marks now from 10m to 80m deep, do you just drift around these or is there a maximum depth you would anchor too taking weather into consideration? Boat is more suited to outer reefs as 45', any tips?
Hi mate,
I've sent you a pm that you have not read yet. It has a wealth of information in it. Might just get your answers.
Cheers scratchie!!!

Mate that is so true, its taken me many months to suss out the valiant alone!
Thanks heaps
No problem. Hope it helps! There are two wrecks out the front of barrenjoey head, definitely worth looking at.
Cheers scratchie!!!

Hey Scratchie
Can i owe you a favour too?
All i got is the valiant wreck and east/west reef.
Cheers!
No problem at all. Marks are one thing! Catching the buggers is another!
Pm sent.
Cheers scratchie!!!

That's a nice fish and a great story! I bet, there's a lot more effort into the next few snapper trips!
Can't have the young fella holding the bragging rights! Good on you both!
Cheers scratchie!!!

You have to return the favour! Pm sent

Have you tried just bread? , burley with some and use a small hook, no weight. Might work!
Cheers scratchie!!!

Look good champ! And yes from what I've heard they are very good attracting squid and baitfish.
Let me know how they go and I might invest in a set!
Cheers scratchie!!!

By the sounds of your post, you are rubbing it in twice! Once about the rugby and the other about the nice fush you caught! Congrats, you deserved both!
