just a small tip if you are catching heaps of rubbish fish you are sitting on top of the reef.try moving a bit and fish either the leading edge of the reef .as in where the current is hittin it or the back of the reef where current is taking anything edible off the back where the fish are waiting for a feed...rick

nice work first of many hopefully...get out the credit card here come some more lures...bahahaha..rick

slang for zeros..gamefishing skeds use strike hookup tagged or captured as in331or000 donuts.rick

thanks scratchie im givin the nth side a go first where I got some last trip hopefully the sharks aren't goin to be a prob like last time..ive got a ledge nth of sisters might be the go if the reddies are in that area..were they fishing plastics ??

try for the dr250s the cops have had them for a few yrs

two of us and sleeping gears a bit full in the vsea mate but will try and organize a couple of boats in a few weeks and you will be more than welcome....rick

hate to say it being a faithful yammie rider since 14..but the suzie dr250s are suited to shorter riders....I had an xr350 for years and loved the old lounge chair but the wr426 an now450s are the go..injected.electric start.reliable love em....don't write off the ttr250 either as they are very reliable..neither are as quick as wrs but are more suited to cruising along at constant revs..the wr250s are designed for enduro and are more suited to varying revs as they have wilder cams in them...im not sure for your price but ktm 350 freestyles are easy to ride but DONT like water crossings and drown very easy..hope you find some good ones and get out there ..rick

does anybody have news how the fishing is at moment..heading to broughton Friday hope to play with the reds,,?????..rick

best idea is tie your jig on and work it near surface..see which way has more action..same with hardbodies...I was using loops before starlo n bushy came into vogue..i had some of the first mr twisters that came into the country forty years ago and was smashing snapper before anybody heard about reds on jigs..i think I will stik to my loops..they hvnt let me down yet and im nearly 55 ..rick

just a thought but check your trim tabs are both working properly and travelling same distance while out of water...you may have some offset in them..rick

great read congrats on the pb im still not sure it was easter it didn't rain and the wind didn't blow..rick

nice one.they will probably come easier now..rick

if its virtually empty will make it worse as prop torque is sending it to port side on the flat of the vee..add more weight and get the hull buried in the water more and it shouldn't be as bad..rick

green banana prawns at coles are $23kilo and bream an reds luv em..you get a lot of baits for a kilo..we shell them and use half a prawn..better than any packet prawn..rick

count me in this year il be in my vsea too cold for the yak..rick

the tyrnos are a very good reel for price.i have one and its always been a fave..in my opinion 2 speed isn't worth worrying on 15 kg..i find low gearing and 5 k drag doesn't seem to work 24kg works well..buy a tyrnos u wont regret it..rick

good work.there must be a few reds in close there was quite a few boats in close today when I was on beach..rick

back at ya neil

fished birdie beach this morn..big swell runnin..managed a couple of salmon two flatties some undersize bream and one small jew 65 cm....beautiful morning on the sand is it really easter cause its not raining haha...might try again when swell drops .rick

last road bike was a Harley springer..at the moment I luv thrashing round on my wr 450f..54 yrs old and the young ones still have trouble keepin with me yeeehaaa

luv watching both..connor is a very talented fighter his standup boxing skills are very good as well as his defence and movement..il bet on him..hes a very cocky sob but that makes him more interesting to watch..rick

for flattie jigs I use either a homer Rhodes loop knot or a perfection loop...my trace is always heavier than my mainline so lower knot strength isn't a problem..once I have shortened my trace after multiple changes I just on a new trace with twelve turn Albright...rick

pretty hard species to target anywhere more of a bycatch..we used to catch heaps in Swansea channel chasin flatties on small green feather jigs or cut down green twisters,,rick

hows the ramp at terrigal now ???
