May be call the local tackle stores (I remember at least 2 in the area), they should know for sure.

Organic frozen potato chips + organic (sunflower) oil in a deeper frying pan worked many times for me. Simple, quick and taste great. Still cheaper than most fast food rubbish. The only challenge is to find those chips in stock.

No, I am definitely not trying Kiviak 😝, but I will do exception for smoked Puffin 😁. I used to buy various sashimi plates at Tokyo fishing market. LOL never knew what it was (just hoped the fish was really fresh) - as their English was as good as my Japanese. Was struggling only with one fish. However with all that "brave" stuff, there are some common foods I can not smell, let alone eat, so no chef career for me

After Hákarl I think I am ready for Fugu, just need another full bottle of Coke "acid" Yakkas, carp, tilapia, possibly other local "pests" and baitfish actually play quite noticeable role in commercial fishing overseas. My favourite is deep fried Redfin. My brother in law used to buy truck of frozen raw mackerel in Poland and then put them into barrels with marinade. 1000km and 2 customs with long truck queues later - they were ready for consumption.

Thanks. Any good recipes for yakkas and pufferfish?

Looks like we need those long badges with car model, engine size, cylinders, injection, transmission, fuel type, aircon info etc etc etc from 80th back - would save over $400 in annual fees on custom plates to some people.

It is similar to squeezing and rubbing the insects into artificial fly, just the next level - full worm/grasshoper replacement .

The hardest thing is parting with them.

Awesome catch from a kayak, and a free ride on top of that! What was the gear that landed the fish?

Forget about nudes on the beach. Remember about perverts in the bushes around the beach. They are usually harmless, however my partner was not much happy. Back to the topic. From memory - there are a few small parkings in the area, some of them have short easy tracks that lead straight to ledges. No climbing skills were required.

I just use the cheapest awl from Bunnings. Fish never complained.

I air-dry (open air) salted fish sometimes . Best results with estuary fish like bream and flatties. Oily fish like trevally etc is not so good as too strong taste of oil left in the flesh after drying. There are plenty of Australian Salmon recipes in internet - just google Kahawai recipes instead . Same fish - different/NZ name.

I've seen boats stored on the premises of KSS with easy car access - under the sky/not in the shed. Prices away from Sydney centre are lower.

Morning fog from a kayak - it is effing beautiful and effing cold. Sunrays reflections through the fog , refreshing wake coming from nowhere. And idiots, idiots, idiots on the boats. Fishing is possible though usually not fully relaxing: I try to find some cul de sac until visibility improves, as there are some boats trolling shallows.

No worries Donna. Yes, the whole publication is for Sydney Harbour only at the moment, however they already added general fishing spots/zones maps PDFs for the rest of listed areas.

Web link for those who want to save couple of trees i.e downloadable PDF versions. (They are in the separate section 'Go Fishing Guides ' .'Local Fishing Guides' on the top - are different publications though also useful) https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fishing/recreational/resources/info#collapse639019

No doubts about that.

The fish looks so realistic 😃

They use weather prediction model developed for Europe - thats why results are upside down.

That is for offroad driving. Try Ausfish - for the local QLD fishing advice.

You can get Saragosa 8000 anytime for $251 - just get ana conda price beat (10%) any shop that still sell them for $279. Alan Hawk's reel list updates are always interesting. Best budget freshwater reels Stradic FL or Tatula LT cost twice as much as best budget offshore reels - those trouts must be pulling really hard - accross the pond.

Might be worth asking also on a local/QLD forum.

May be this one : (Used Google)

Most of 8 and 10 piece fly rods are vintage from pre-tele era i.e no particular choice dilemma. Tele rod action and rod rating aside, the only environment I would avoid for tele rods - is probably beaches due to sand regularly getting stuck inside. Personally, in this case, considering that Paddy93 already using/carrying a hunting setup, I would just measure it and go from its dimensions rather than chasing something superportable with questionable quality. Assuming it is a hunting rifle - over 3 feet - then even 3 piece fly rod should suffice without sticking out.

Looks like 10 piece rods actually exist. 1st one is still for sale. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/10-piece-cane-fishing-KIT-c-w-reels/254435065611?hash=item3b3d82ff0b:g:c08AAOSw-0Bd3c9G https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/mullocks-specialist-auctioneers-and-valuers/catalogue-id-2841054/lot-11647509
