Good effort Ryder, shows he importance of adjusting depth through a session.

Great shots as usual from your daughter! Not sure I'd be getting that close to a red belly though

The below is from NSW DPI - Recreational Fisheries newsletter Review Planned for Rock Fishing Lifejacket Trial Fines for rock fishers not wearing a lifejacket in the Randwick Local Government Area will now commence from 31 May 2018. The moratorium has been extended by the NSW Government to allow an independent assessment of the implementation of the Rock Fishing Safety Act 2016 (RFSA) to be undertaken. The NSW Government has commissioned an independent evaluation to review the data and feedback collected over the past 12 months in Randwick, and will include a multi-lingual survey of rock fishers in the community. The community can also make a submission to the evaluation. The past 12 months has allowed Randwick City Council and other agencies involved in the RFSA to trial a range of community engagement strategies, and to develop standard operating procedures and training materials. The evaluation will provide a basis for the Government to consider the potential further roll out of the RFSA to other NSW coastal communities and how that could best be implemented. During the extended moratorium the NSW Government will continue to promote safe rock fishing through additional rock fishing workshops, multi-lingual educational material, rock fishing safety campaigns and water safety messaging. Over summer, the NSW Government is rolling out new water safety advertising and the Old4New van will continue to visit popular rock fishing areas to offer discounted lifejackets. New pamphlets and stickers promoting safe rock fishing are also being designed and will be made available at various retailers including bait shops and petrol stations. The community has the opportunity to contribute to the evaluation on the RFSA via the Government’s "have your say" website: https://goo.gl/idyXdg Wearing a lifejacket and following simple water safety advice can help save your life. If you're rock fishing anywhere in NSW over the summer season be safe and wear a lifejacket. For more information, visit https://watersafety.nsw.gov.au

If the tackle store you went to weren't any help, best try a different one.

I have a few freezer bricks that go in a small esky. This just goes in the car on fishing days and stays there while fishing. Keep fish alive in keeper net, kill and fillet at end of fishing, chuck fillets in snap lock bags that go straight into the esky. Stays cold for hours. Eat fish that night or freeze em for later.

Glad someone-else got to go along and enjoy the sessions as well!

+1 switch to mono . . . floating line if you fish long drifts.

Did anyone get along to any of these workshops?

I heard today that these sessions are all full with wait-lists.

Nice work Tash and good onya missus taking you on a trip!

Nice Steve! Like the scenic shot with the birds in formation. . . . or are they bats?

Forgot about the hat bit . . . I know I catch more when wearing my 'special' fishing hat . . . Get fewer random people talking to me too! ;-)

You girls have definitely got the bug! Well done on the flatty!

WOW! Just goes to show, there's no trusting them fishes to behave how you expect!

That sounds like an action packed sess elf! Did you try long wait vs short wait before striking? seems the only thing you left out . . . .

Hi and welcome Tash! If you're planning on getting into Rockfishing, I reckon get yourself along to the free Randwick Council workshop cheers, stu.

Georgia sure has a talent for camera work . . . amazing.

as usual . . . . just WOW
