    Jarvis Walker Black Queen Deluxe is the first that jumps to mind. Solid glass, cork grips, they have been making them for decades.

    Still a fish

    Hi Raiders 

    I went out today for a shot at Blackfish around Balmain. On the first drift I got a good down but didn't hook up.

    Next few drifts I was getting touches but no real takers. Then they were stripping the hook with no movement of the float.

    I thought small fish or maybe Black Trevally. I tried different depths, smaller baits and finally pulled up tight onto one. It went a good 6 inches long.IMG_1902.thumb.jpg.0526f34d768e717807551e40b3713927.jpgp

    I think Kingie Chaser and Green Hornet have made good points. Tide is also a big influence on Blackfish, as Useless Fisho just reported about a new spot he fished. Some places fire on a run in others on the run out or part of.

    I had similar experience to yours, got my first quickly and thought this is going to be good, I didn't realise my float stopper moved during the fight. I went fishless for a good spell.

    They can also spook by Cormorants or other species like grouper or kings.

    Hi Neil 

    I'm glad you got out to commune with nature and pursue the passion. I wouldn't be surprised if he turns next time, he probably enjoyed the  experience too, and if  like a Magpie he might recognise his mate.

    I have heard of them opening backpacks and ripping into bags of chips. I've seen them surgically remove the eyes of blackfish in a shallow keeper net.

    Who, how, why or what got you into fishing

    My Grandfather was a NSW country policeman from Uralla, he was brought up hunting and fishing. Ducks, pigs, yellowbelly and cod.

    He spent most of his career in country areas, Broken Hill, Bathurst, Leeton, Gundagai, Albury etc. He was nicknamed 'The Sherrif ' not just because he was a cop, he was the best shot in the area. He was a good sport, played golf, cricket and tennis, but I think fishing was his favourite.

    After many holidays to the coast, he and my Nan retired to Forster. Fishing and vegetable gardening were a supplement to the pension, (and back in those days there weren't the same bag limits we have today.) Most of the neighbors also fished, and they would share the catch between themselves or freeze it if someone was heading to Sydney to supply Mum and Dad with fish for 5 grandkids.

    We went up every year for a couple of weeks. I went out fishing with him, he always got fish, but as a little kid, I didn't catch much.  I guess I didn't know what was really going on, but I was fishing with my Pa.

    First time out, I was maybe 4, we fished Wallis Lake. Pa and my sister caught about 30 Flatties between them, I caught a Blue Swimmer crab and nearly jumped out of the boat at the sight.

    I still have some of his gear.
