  1. Jon, I doubt it would as they are specific for a Coxswains grade 1, a HLTAID003 is very easy to get these days.

    Between you and I, to easy. A commercial provider would give you one in 5-6 hours and cost about $80- thats Sydney prices.

    Years ago I did a St Johns course over 2 days and it was far better ..... but time kills me these days.

    A specific Fishing one would be good to do for what I do.

  2. I'm going to take a punt and only a punt, as always I'm happy to be wrong.

    But could it be a Yellowbanded Wirrah Acanthistius cinctus. But with a certain phase in markings. Male,Female, Juvenile etc.

    Now the only reason I say this is I don't believe a Western Wirrah comes over this way.

    :)

  3. Have had that happen a few times before. A couple of years ago. my son was fishing with me when he pulled up a double header, a blue spot and a little spikey, and another blue spot swam up from the deep, just as I was about to drop down, so I dropped the baits in front of the nose of the free swimming blue spot, it grabbed one of the baits and I flung it on board before it realised what had happened to it. Easiest catch ever.

    Exactly that, looking over the side thinking "how did we catch 3 Flattys on a 2 hook rig"

    Though we weren't in a position to catch the swimmer.

  4. The flatties are scattered about, but there are patches of them at present as they are into their breeding cycle. The females have fat roes.

    Funny you should say this. We were out just over a week ago and we had I would guess, "Males" would follow hooked "Females" up. It happened a couple of times.

    Down in that area, roughly 35+ mts.

  5. You have me intrigued Blackfish. The closest I could find was a poem by Martin Harrison titled “By The River”.

    Hey Cargo, it was a story in Modern Fishing called "In Banjos Footsteps" written by Rod Harrison. My mistake with the name as it was 6 years ago.

    Just a fishing article on fishing in the channel country. Of old fellas, isolation and mostly Yellowbelly, what they had done for many years, the simplicity of gear and the isolation to catch a iconic Australian fish.

    Great read it was.
