Geez! Pays to keep your eyes open . . . . .

Some nice looking fish Cossie! Well done!,

Nice change Royce!

Congrats to the girls JonD, proud dad no doubt.

Glad all you Bass fisho's had a fun day in the salt!

Awesome fish for the young fella,

Qld do have the best spine ever and Munster added to it. We got 'out enthused' again. The Qld defence was way too strong and I'm really not a fan of Woods at all.

You'd need to confirm that with an Eastern Suburbs Council eg Randwick. Have a look at The Lifejacket Law on the Watersafety.nsw.gov.au website under rockfishing.

I have an understanding of the ocean through being raised by the beach, body surfing, fishing, snorkelling and scuba diving. If it too dangerous I won't fish or will fish somewhere else. The council's own research showed main problem is new Australians, many of whom cannot even swim and do not understand the powers of our ocean. Why should I be made to wear a jacket rather than have an education program. Yesterday was a good example, quite calm with only the odd larger set coming through. I had shorts and cleats on shoes, yet others had long pants and gumboots. Less than ideal clothing for rockfishing. 1 bloke had a life jacket and cleats, the other two that turned up not long before we left had nothing suitable on. As cossie said, there were also others on the rocks for quite a while, just without a fishing rod and the appropriate footwear. With no requirement for them to wear jackets.

Went out and risked a life jacket warning at the local rocks for a few hours yesterday arvo. Quiet fishing, got 1 blackie at 35cm's. Unfortunately needed 4 for dinner so he went back at the end. Also got 2 of the biggest cockies I've ever seen and a baby drummer. Phone v low battery so no photos, however it was very enjoyable. It's been a while between sessions.

You are a wise man ozzyB!

Sounds like a nice session ozzyB.

Ta Royce.

Nice few fish there boys. I'm a bit confused though, just to check most caught on bait and only 1 on fly?

Nice bunch of Luds Burnsey.

Well done guys, a good bag there!

Some nice looking fish there Royce! Must be a good tussle on a fly rod!

Have a look at the "Best Ever Tips For Blackie Fishing" thread in this section. All the blackfish info you'll need to get started.

Nice work drc! Some tubby blackies there.

So you quietly take your pillow and sleep with the dog in case she can hear in her sleep????

Well done on the PB OB ;-)

Interesting that the 'testing of Seafood' link points to the reults from 10 years ago.

Nice to get a few on a beautiful day! Well done Underfisher.
