WHILST FISHING SYDNEY HARBOUR TODAY, WE WERE SURPRISED TO SEE A LARGE KINGFISH APPROXIMATELY 85-95 CM CHASING A BLACKFISH FLOAT TO OUR BOAT,AS WE RETRIEVED. IT WAS A GREAT SIGHT AND ADDED TO OUR GREAT DAY OF FISHING. WE LANDED SOME NICE FISH,AND WILL BE OUT THERE AGAIN SOON. I THINK YOU RAIDERS WILL BE HAVING A SUCCESSFUL DAY OUT THERE NEXT WEEK. GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL. CHEERS BART

GOOD TO SEE YOU ENJOYING ONE OF YOUR FAVOURITE SPOTS PETER. IT SEEMS THAT THEY ARE HAVING A SPELL OF ROUGH WEATHER UP THERE. WELL AT LEAST YOU ARE TAKING SOME GREAT PICS AND CATCHING FISH. CONGRATS. CHEERS BART

ONE CAN SEE THAT IT IS BACK TO WORK FOR MANY. IF ONLY THE BOSS KNEW THAT HIS WORKERS ARE STILL IN HOLIDAY MODE AND MORE INTERESTED IN WHAT IS GOING ON WITH FISHRAIDER MEMBERS. SORRY BOSS THEY ARE ON THE INTERNET. HENCE THE FIGURES MENTIONED. SOME PEOPLE ARE LUCKY EH! CHEERS BART

WOULD BE GREAT TO SEE THE BIG BROWNS BEING CAUGHT OUT OF PEJAR AGAIN. AWESOME FISH. CHEERS BART.

WELL DONE THERE ROSS. A BEAUTIFUL LIZARD AND GREAT TO SEE HER ON HER WAY.CONGRATS. CHEERS BART.

SORRY DAVE, I BEG TO DIFFER. TODAY WE ARE SEEING AN INCREASED AMOUNT OF RUBBISH BEING THROWN OUT OF CAR WINDOWS. ADD THIS TO A LIST OF LITTER CAUSES. 1. GARBAGE BINS PUT OUT FOR COLLECTION (OVERFILLED) ENDING UP IN OUR GUTTERS. 2. COUNCIL CLEANUPS. (HOW MUCH RUBBISH CAN PEOPLE HAVE. WHAT A WASTE!!! ) CHECK IT OUT AFTER A BIG BLOW. 3. DUMPED RUBBISH. ( HAVE YOU BEEN TO THE TIP LATELY. SEE HOW MUCH THEY ARE CHARGING.) BIG DOLLARS!!! DAVE, I GO WALKING EVERY DAY AND I MUST SAY I AM DISGUSTED AS TO THE AMOUNT OF RUBBISH THAT IS BEING LEFT AROUND. HAVE YOU BEEN TO OUR BEACHES IN THE MORNINGS BEFORE COUNCIL CLEANS UP. SORRY BUT I HAVE TO SAY THIS BUT WE ARE DROWNING IN OUR OWN SHIT!!!! WHAT YOU SEE ON OUR STREETS AND GUTTERS WILL MOST PROBABLY END UP IN OUR WATERWAYS. IN GENERAL,IT IS NOT JUST THE FISHO' WHO IS TO BLAME.WE ARE ALL CONTRIBUTING IN SOME WAY. CHEERS BART

G'DAY RAIDERS, LET'S GO FISHING. CHEERS BART

HI JANI, GOOD TO SEE YOU ENJOYING FISHRAIDER. IT IS GREAT TO HAVE AN INTERESTED FISHERMAN FROM OVERSEAS PARTICIPATING IN OUR FORUMS. NICE FISH YOU HAVE PICTURED THERE. KEEP UP THE COMMUNICATIONS AND LOOK FORWARD TO FURTHER POSTS IN THE FUTURE. CHEERS BART

GLAD TO SEE YOU SAW THE LIGHT,GIVING UP RIDING JET SKI'S. JEALOUSY,NOT HERE HOWEVER WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE RESPONSIBLE RIDING BY THEIR OWNERS. CHEERS BART

ONYA PETE.... THANKS FOR YOUR VALUABLE INPUT ON THESE SUBJECTS THAT GET US UPSET AT TIMES. I ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO END OF SCHOOL HOLIDAYS AND BEGINNING OF THE WORKING WEEK. HOORAY NOT AS MANY JET SKI'S OR PLEASURE BOATS OUT AND ABOUT. FEEL SORRY FOR THOSE WHO HAVE TO PUT UP WITH IDIOTS WHILST ON THE WATER. LOVE TO FISH WITH PEACE AND QUIET. CHEERS BART.

GOD LOVE HIM. HE IS WHAT YOU CALL A PRECIOUS SENIOR CITIZEN. KEEPS THE PANEL BEATERS IN BUSINESS. GOOD FOR THE ECONOMY ALSO. CHEERS BART

APPARENTLY THEY HAVE BEEN READING THE REPORTS ON FISHRAIDER ABOUT THE FISH BEING CAUGHT UP THERE. AT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR MOST OF THE LOCAL FISHO'S FISH FURTHER AFIELD. I READ IN THE LOCAL CENTRAL COAST EXPRESS NEWSPAPER ABOUT SOME SMART ARSE PERSONS ( won't call em fisho,s ) THROWING SINKERS AT THE LOCAL LIFEGUARDS,WHO HAD BEEN HELPING SWIMMERS WHO HAD GOT INTO DIFFICULTY WHILST IN THE CHANNEL AT THE ENTRANCE. WOULD NOT LIKE TO BE IN THE TRENCHES WITH THEM IN HARD TIMES. CHEERS BART.

AGREE 100% WITH YOU PJ. THE MORE YOU CARE ABOUT THIS ISSUE, THE MORE IT HURTS, WHEN YOU COME ACROSS THIS VANDALISM. WHETHER IT IS RUBBISHING THE ENVIRONMENT OR NOT HEEDING OUR RULES ON FISH CATCH. KEEP UP YOUR POSTS AND WRITING THOSE POEMS. IT ALL HELPS. MY PET HATE IS THE AMOUNT OF PLASTIC AND GLASS DRINK CONTAINERS THAT ARE DISCARDED ALL OVER THE PLACE . IT IS GETTING WORSE. I BELIEVE IT IS TIME TO LOBBY GOVERNMENT ABOUT REFUNDABLE DEPOSITS ON ALL DRINK CONTAINERS ETC. THIS MAY HELP TO CUT DOWN THIS BLIGHT ON OUR BEAUTIFUL WATERWAYS ETC. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE CAUGHT WITHOUT A CURRENT FISHING LICENCE. I HATE PAYING MY FEES AND SEEING SOMEONE GETTING OFF WITHOUT A CAUTION OR A FINE . DOES NOT THE MONEY FROM OUR FISHING LICENCES HELP TOWARD EMPLOYING FISHING INSPECTORS. CHEERS BART.

WELL SAID PJ. FRAME THAT POEM, SOMEONE PUBLISH IT, THEN LICENCE IT TO FISHRAIDER AND LET US GET IT OUT ON THE STREET. SPREAD THE WORD TO THE GRUBS WHO ARE STUFFING UP OUR ENVIRONMENT. WE NEED TO SPREAD THE WORD. " PLEASE CARE FOR OUR ENVIRONMENT. IT NEEDS OUR CARE." CHEERS BART

WELL SAID DONNA.CONGRATS TO YOU,STEWY AND STAFF.IT TRULY IS A GREAT SITE. THE RESULTS ARE ON THE BOARD. CHEERS BART

MERRY XMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL FISH RAIDERS AND FAMILY. KEEP SAFE AND ENJOY YOUR FISHING. DRIVE CAREFULLY AND SAFE BOATING. CHEERS BART

YES ,YOU CAN ACCESS IT. PRESS TOP RIGHT (IN RED) MARINE &FRESHWATER RESEARCH. WILL COST YOU $25 CHEERS BART.

ASK THE LOCALS. NOT SURE IF CRAB NETS ALLOWED IN TUGGERAH LAKES. I AM SURE THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED IN BRISBANE WATERS. CHEERS BART

WELL DONE LADS.!!!!!! CHEERS BART

Ah yes ,that's what it is all about. A good feed of fresh sizeable eating fish. I bet you enjoyed the day. Cheers BART

Hi Warnie, Half your luck mate going up to the Rocks for Xmas.Great spot,great fishing and I really enjoy it up there. However being at the grumpy old man stage ,I prefer to go up there when it is a quiet .Then I can enjoy my fishing more and keep my stress levels at an acceptable level. Hoping to catch up with NOISY next year up there. You have a good Xmas Cheers BART.

You wont get me near SWR at XMAS. Too bloody busy and too many holidaymakers. However each to their own. Enjoy. Cheers BART

Hi Dave, It would have been a great outing on that Billabong for Noels last fishing trip. Could not think of a better way to do so. Up there in the north it has a special feel, what with the abundance of bird wildlife and those huge crocs around you. Brings back fond memories for me. Cheers BART

A great day as you say, evident by the looks on their faces. Congratulations to those who helped out. It is good to see so many kids out and about and enjoying a day on the bay,especially with fishing gear in hand. CHEERS BART.

JEWIE !!! Cheers BART.
