definitely a PB. I can tell by the grin!!! well done.

You'll keep my friend! But with the space my gut is taking up in the picture bob, i'll cover half the goals anyway. Could be an option for 09' That is if I dont take up professional squiding. Arch

hi guys, i ripped into a few large sambo's last week. i throw em back as i dont reckon their much craic' on the plate. my old man loves cooking them up in rich sauces, so he had the shits with me for throwing them back. guess i'm out of the Will, again! i might track down some fish cake recipes, i think i've seen some on the cooking section. anyway nice report KK.

Hey mate, welcome aboard. I havnt posted a letter in ages, as work has kept me off the water. I cant recall how many stories I have heard of the girls out doing the "all knowing lads". There ar plenty of tips on the site, on how to post pictures. Check in some of the other catagories, or use the search prompt on the home page. The sambo's are great fun, the airobatics makes for a great photo if you can time it right. See you on the water sparkles

Absolutely outstanding old son. I just cant beleive that, awsome, awsome awsome. And I will concur with my fellow raiders. The best post I have ever read on the site. what can top that? arch

yeah bob it is on a mates phone. great fish, went hard aparently. i told him to man up and get to the gym. i'm off home arch

Great sesh ceph. I have been skimming stones with the missus, and have been unable to throw a line in. although the boys took my boat out, and got into a few decent kings up to 85cm at a very poular local spot. you may want to give the main harbour a go again. well done anyway mate arch

I've been laughing at this for a while ceph. Love it. Well done Mike!

very nice king there. Love to see some hard work pay off. arch

Mate reds like that in the harbour is rare. But awsome none the less. I'd throw it in for fish of the month. well done Arch ps i just spent 10 minutes looking at the pic to try and work it out. Lazy or what!!

Top report Ceph, Looked like a great day fishing wise. I'll see you on the water. i'll just look for the yellow boat with buckling roda and general mayhem. arch

That is a great effort guys, especially on the light line. and picking up a cobia of any size down this way, is a speacial treat. it's my dream fish, and i have never even seen one. good stuff.

Once again mate, you have come through with the goods. tough effort in the rough conditions, so well done. arch

Lads, Thanks very much for all the advice, and I will follow it. I was thinking of putting it in front of the Hand rail, closer to the drivers seat. There is room, and won't clutter the back of the boat. Easy for the driver to winch it up if someone is on at the back. and not be in the way. But as usual, the raider team has come through with all relevant info. And NETIC, during my research I got to have another look at those three vids you had downrigging around the yellow marker in botany bay. Really got the juices flowing. Thanks again everyone. Arch

Just did a proper search and think I am sorted. sparks

cheers Miller. what is the prob with going straight out the back? other than the obvious closness to the prop. arch

Lads, I just bought a new scotty on the weekend. It has about a 1and 1/2 boom, but I completely forgot about a hand rail that runns up the back of the transom and 3 feet from the stern of the boat on both sides. I am just thinking of putting it diagonally out the back, or even straight out the back. otherwise I need to mount it on something over a few inches high to get it over the hand rail and off to the side. Anybody got a suggestion as to the pro's and cons of mounting it. I'm nervous about going out the back. it's a stacer 525 2005 model. I'll do a search on the site, but just wanted to her some fresh feedback. sparkles

great effort lads, what was the hose at the back that got cut? bit of a worry but it least it wasn't the fuel line! arch

I have been a bit slack in posting on the site for a few months. But these underwayer antics crack me up every time. There are some of the arseiest people in the country on this site. great stuff, on getting the gear back. arch

Nice one boss! keep it up, and watch yourself on the stones.

Just to throw my 'two bob' in! I have found that sydney harbour after a big rain, is a fickle beast. It can put fish off there nromal habits, and make it harder to use techniques flicking soft plastics. But then again, I have seen some raiders just this year pulling decent winter kings out of the brown murk, with servo pillies and prawns. But yes, In my opinion it can put them off. Arch

I'm a bit afraid of trying down near kurnell at the moment, you never know what may come up out of the sand.

Awsome, I work with one of the guys you went out with. He is making me so jeolous with his early morning swaray's. Top work. Arch

PeterS, Just a question, and I am not sure about all those places you mentioned. But Isn't Jibbon south of Cronulla. I am curious about wind direction. As you said Northerly, Doesn't the direction come from (where the wind is coming from, rather than going to) As I said, I am unsure of all of this, but just wanted to check. ps I like the wry smile on the sharks face.
