Great to see much deserved recognition for 3 deserving people. Dan

G'day Jim, I am an Iracing fanatic.

Hi there Gianni, just an idea, it might help ig you go and see the manager that spoke to you before and gave you permission to fish there and explain what happened today and how you were spoken to rudely, and ask if it is still ok to fish there, tell them that you never make a mess and always leave the area the same way as it was when you arrived, you might find that your welcome and he says yes, if so, ask him to request that his staff are aware that you have permission, I think you handled yourself great and showed more respect to that clown that kicked you out than he deserved lol. good luck Regards Dan

Yes we had a few laughs, Buttsy mentioned the ray, he hooks up and sees what he says is a massive flatty, he says, grab the net, grab the net, i pirouetted around and grabbed the much needed net, next he says , ahhh bugger, it's a ray, get me a knife lol get me a knife is all i hear. was a brilliant day out and what a beautiful waterway the hacking is, i have heard a lot of fella's talk about it, just have to do some research and find where the legal fish live lol, Thanks for a great day Craig. Scratchie, you will have to put us in touch with Yowie mate Cheers, Dan

Hi there Jeff, not a bad way top spend the last hour of daylight, it was great to meet you and your family at The Entrance on the weekend, take care. Dan

There is an old bloke up the road from me that makes sinkers, i will call in and ask him if he makes them or if he can, will let you know tomorrow mate. Dan

Well, home safe n sound from my first Fishraider social, many many thanks to Stewy and Donna for organizing a great event. A huge thanks to everyone for making my family and i feel so welcome, sure the weather was fairly ugly but i think everyone had a great weekend, my daughter Chantelle and her best friend (Maddy) had sensational time. hehe Thanks to Stewy for getting Anne to pick up a rod for the first time in her life, hopefully she will get the bug the rest of us have which is fishing. Huge thanks to the sponsors for their support and how good was the bbq's, Stewy is pretty good on the tongs lol. see you all in July, regards Dan and family

Berley up the water around you, use a size 6 Sabiki rig, you can get them from most Kmarts for $2.50 each, if you like you can chop up a pillie into small cubes to improve your catch rate, easy as thatCamo, let us know how you and your mate go buddy. regards Dan

Hey Josh, you have to get that boat full of fish mate, but the fishing wont be much good for a couple of weeks i would say.

Gotta be happy with that Jeff, you definitely wont run out of bait at The Entrance hehe. not long to go now, can't wait hey

Was the same massive (i got a jewie) grin mate

Nice work boys, i get the feeling i have seen pics of that bridge in the background before. was a sensational day as well,

PM sent Dave

Avomine are also very good, but Tef1lon is right, the travelcalm BLUE are good also. I agree, nothing would be worse than someone chucking up on your boat, not that i have 1..

Yeah Scratchie, good luck and hope you do well last weekend lol

Nice work, so good to see the kids smiling holding their catch and a proud Dad. there are certainly worse ways to spend a few hours.

G'day ParraBarra Man, On behalf of me, myself and I, I might take you up on that carp offer and fill up a bin. welcome to Fishraider, there are heaps of friendly members here that have plenty of experience and are all social. speaking of socials, there is a Fishraider social weekend in May at The Entrance with a friendly comp, come on up and meet some fellow raiders and throw a line in, It is a family event so kids are more than welcome. see the post under the Socials heading. take it easy mate, PM me if you like. Cheers Dan

Well done. Doing Fishraider proud.

Can't win em all mate. Better luck tomorrow fellas.

How good is Fishraider............ lol I had no idea there were so many fisho's out our way, The casting and knot tying is a great idea, i agree Victoria park is perfect Donna. Anytime someone wants to throw a line in, let me know, i'm an old bugger (50) years old, i think it is so good that there are normal people like us that love to fish and socialize. Tight lines and keep smiling Regards Dan

Hey there Geordie, Welcome to Fishraider, About time you joined, we have all been waiting for you to find us here hahaha. seriously though, there is a lot of great info and people with experience and wisdom. I am in Minto Heights so not far from you champ if you want to throw a line in sometime.

Great work fella's.

Have fun fellas, i'll be thinking of you lot while watching ifish at home haha. i'll get out there one day hope you have a good haul.

Don't be too grumpy mate, not too bad of a collection and there are worse ways to spent a few hours hehe, as said pitty about the catch bag. thanks for the report.
