Looks like Im going on a charter to swaines reef this year, looking for some advice on what rod & reel you would take if you could have unlimited choice! Please be aware what you say will be used as evidence in my case against the missus. Cheers ED

Gday Swoofa, please dont take this the wrong way. your in real estate right, then you must do all the open inspections at night or your the boss. no one has that much fishing time do they?

off to nelson bay fri sat sun mon, got the neighbour in tow so maybe the ground swell will stop as the wind is not causing the kind of swells were seeing at the moment. have fun all. Its easter for me this weekend, no joe its not my religion , I just detest long weekend carparks on the pacific hwy. Got to love the NSW GOVT, yeah I worship the quick sand BOB CARR walks on. See Ya

Its normally moored at wooloomooloo & its a refurbed ice breaker

hey ty07 what star sign are you , im sure joe can work out a top name from there

good one gutsy top name Im a Edward there not many of us left. Its not a common name but its a noble one.

Macman, tie a piece of red ribbon around the throttle so as to remind you bungs! or wait till the water is lapping at your feet!

well done ken, pity you didnt win the big red ball,otherwise your days would be filled with fishing , holidaying & the like. work just fills in time between trips!

Yeah your probably right JD, all my best mates are kiwis. You wouldnt be a NZ by chance would you JD. Id love to fish the bay of Islands before i die. In fact I will very soon i hope.

OH BIG BANANA you spoil all the fun.

Thanks GM

Grantm , can you take your own rod, I thought you had to use his gear & its catch & release?

Great report MARTIN , lots a luck for your next kingie session. cheers Ed

Theres one thing I didnt tell ya ,where we launched the ramp was beaut but the 37 stand cleaning tables of stainless steel was a corker. those N/BAY lot know how to turn it on. Its almost worth the trip just to see the tables . the wifes on a mission to purchase a cheap digi just for the boat, Im sick of not having one when you need one. IF YOU START TO CROSS A BAR OR ARE IMBETWEEN SETS NEVER TRY TO TURN THE BOAT IT WILL BROACH EVEN WITH FULL OPPOSITE RUDDER IF YOU KEEP IT STRAIGHT IN EITHER DIRECTION THE VERY WORST THAT CAN HAPPEN IS THE BOAT WILL FILL TO ITS BUOYANCEY LINE THEN ITS UP TO THE BEST BILGE PUMP IN THE WORLD . A FRIGHTENED MAN WITH A BUCKET. THIS BLOKE TRIED TO TURN THE BOAT & GO BACK OUT AS THE SWELL GETS COMPRESSED BETWEEN THE TO HEADLANDS THE SWELL GETS STEEPER & CLOSER TOGETHER. Its very sad for the families of the 5 people that drowned on the weekend.

Hey thats life Joe, the sea is angry at present & Imnot sure why. I was at watsons bay this morning & its still looks Maybe the NZ ers are to blame, something upset it. Maybe there standing on bondi beach & there've tilted the world. No Ive got many good KIWI friends, there tops the harka crew

GDAY IDOL thats a great handle youve got there, bad luck on the big ones but it definately sounds like a hammer/h. My wife normally uses your handle when i advise her Im not going fishn this weekend. welcome aboard

Well it went like this, departed green point at 4am arrived fingal bay 6.20am. launched & tracked via the Islands outside after obtaining 40 or so livies. The swell was 2.5 to 3m on a lumpy sea, not ideal conditions. tracked 9 nm off Little Gibbler beach, the reefs start 2nm from shore & run out 25nm, The 2 blokes that joined me duly informed me that they required no travel calm. After approx 7min of motoring I was all alone at the helm, & thats how it stayed until ramp return. the reefs are busting up with snapper, mowies & trags. Im not big on traglin & hence they were returned without requiring a bandaid. I lost count of the number of seargent bakers we caught ( crap i here you say ) we didnt boat one under 70cm, Ive never seen them that big before. You guess it we returned them for the locals. we also trolled for kings around the 2 Islands just off sure for 3 kings just under. returned via the gap where the pressure waves were rolling in at 2.5m with rooster tails, we buried the bow into the swell in front & remained in the trough between both swells alternating power & trim, we had to close the deck scuppers as the swell behind was above the rear step. Unfortunately the boat behind us tried to follow us in & broached in the swell, although the boat didnt capsize one of the occupants was flung out , whilst there boat was 3/4 full of water it managed to proceed back into the bay. once out of the pressure waves we turn & proceeded back for fluro yellow man o/b it was a simple slow troll & boat hook retreive as you never stop in a bar , out 500m & back in . home by 5pm knacked snapper for dinner & I received a scratchie in the mail today from the kids dad.

If you ever get up to woy woy its a top ramp, right behind the bowling club, or terrigal if your game, although theres always some one ready to give you a hand if required.
