Well if you consider your kids disowning you, your wife leaving you and you're boss firing you, then that's about where I'm at after 3 days of boat docking!!! P.S. Can anyone beat 12.1 seconds for the first bit??

I used to get Blackfish and weed on the western ferry landing at Berowra about 10-15 years ago, don't know what it's like now!? I don't think there's much weed there now, think i'd buy mine from Windybanks at Cowan! Hopefully someone can suggest a good Blackfish spot, promise we won't tell anyone!!

Thanks Ross, now I'm NEVER gonna get off this damn computer!!

I've just realised I totally suck at computer games! I'm not letting PJ play either, he'll kick my butt at that too!

Hey guys just curious, what would the minimum depth be out at Browns?

I'm sure everyone just doesn't want you to have a bad experience on the road. If you take just some of the advice on board, I'm sure you'll be a better driver for it! Good luck next time!

And I thought FAD was a passing phase that someone went through! (Sorry...someone had to say it, might as well be me!)

Tafc010 & Miller. If it's not mandatory for Learner drivers to undergo some form of defensive driving course by the time my two kids get their L's, then I'll put them in one myself. I've seen or heard of too many P platers getting killed or injured, and I truly believe no parent should outlive their kids.

Thanks for the Email Jo. I don't have Powerpoint, but that's OK. I was asking out of curiosity more than anything. No worries about PJ getting on the computer and finding Ebay, he wouldn't get time, what with me on Fishraider and MUM on ebay!

Thanks for that Flightmanager, next time he asks I'll say "Fish drink like fish!

Thanks for the PM Jo! I enjoy nothing more than time with the family, especially on the water. How do you top those questions from a 5 year old like PJ: "Do fish drink?" Me:"Go & look it up on Bigpond PJ"!

Oh all right, twisted my arm, how about these!: Q: How do you know when a girl singer is at your door? A: because she can't find the key and doesn't know when to come in! Q: How do you tell if the stage is level? A: The drummer drools out of BOTH sides of his mouth!

Great report & pics once again Marg, and it was great meeting you too! Quick question, how do you do the collatey thingy with your photos?

Don't even get me started on girl singers and drummers!!

He's a very funny man Marg! My suggestion is, if he gives you any grief, just hit him with a bass (pronounced base in this situation) player joke. Here's one for starters: Q: What do you throw a drowning bass player? A: His amplifier!

It's Ok, PJ's out of therapy and doing fine now! Actually Mgibbo spoilt a good story by showing up after I'd met Hubby and kids. I thought hubby & kids must have been going out without her. I was going to add a post, telling her I'd met hubby and kids, but who was the lady friend with Hubby

Looks like all the reports this week are about the "fad of chasing Broken Dollies offshore in the Bay", or something like that, but I thought I'd bore everyone with my tale of the Hawkesbury (again). Well after getting my a@#e kicked in the fishing department by #1 son PJ last weekend, decided to get out Saturday to try & level the score. So woke PJ up at 4.30am PJ time (=6.30am normal time!) and headed to Berowra Ramp. Motoring up Berowra Creek & the fog had me thinking of THAT Deep Purple song. Went to the scene of last weeks crime at a once again popular Bar Point, but the action was too slow for PJ (no fish in the first 5 minutes). So we moved to a very flat and also popular Juno Point for a similar story, although we only tried drifting and didn't anchor. What do other Raider's who fish there think, would I have been better to have anchored? It was about two hours before low tide. So we moved to my favourite nursery in Cowan Creek, where a finicky bite saw me hooking the (small) fish, then suddenly developing arm fatigue & having to hand the rod to PJ to land them! So at the end of the day, he ended up catching ..er, make that landing more fish than me again. Lots of small squire, a couple of Tarwhine and a Flounder (caught by me, and called correctly before seeing it, Rex Hunt style! ). So nothing to write home about, but still a GREAT time of year to be out on the water. Managed to meet MGibbo & family back at the ramp, who were heading out to camp overnight. Nice to meet you guys! Hope you got some!

And if the item they're selling ISN'T something you're looking for, you can simply skip over that post!!

I'm going to throw a spanner in the works & toss in the sterndrive option. I've got one & I love it! They don't suit all applications, odviously, but for my situation...perfect! Economical, reasonably cheap to service, aids stability of the boat, and in my case, there's 220hp of V8 grunt there when I need it (Waterskiing etc.)

Does that mean it's going to be good fishing tomorrow........coool!!!

Hey Raiders, Do any of you listen to the fishing reports on Vega on Friday arvos? If so, do you know if the reporter, Dave, is a raider? There's a picture of him & a nice bream here. (Jen's a bit of a spunk too...Oops, hope the doesn't read this!) Dave, if you're out there, talk to me buddy!

It's going to be pretty hard to hide!

Is it coming from the States?

The has given PJ & I a leave pass again, so we're off to the Hawkesbury again Saturday, so he can outfish me yet again!

We go every year on Good Friday, as the rides horses. We normally just go into the Members' Stand and , except I've now given up drinking. I didn't think the ring events were as good this year as they have been in the past (picked the wrong year to give up drinking!), except of course the bikes and cars, they get better and better every year!
