Thats awesome mate! well done, I am heading out to IC tomorrow night for a land based bash with a few mates - might see you there. congrats on the pb's

Thanks Netic, That explains it all. I was not sure if there was a paid membership system. Thanks again

Hello Peoples, Just a quick question, Could someone explain the differences in memberships I notice the GOLD members & was not sure if that membership is purchased / earned / bestowed ? Cheers Jas

G'Day Raiders, They say the first step to getting over an addiction is to admit the truth - well here goes. My name is Jason & I am an angling addict! I hope I am not alone in my addiction because how sad would a world be without fisho's?. I first noticed my addiction to fishing as a nipper when I found myself at Windamere Dam without any hooks, I tried to fashion a yellow belly rig out of a safety pin & some old mono line, Needless to say that set the standard for my fishing adventures - Constantly striving, occassionally attaining though not often. I like to class myself as an adventurous fisher who likes to try many different spots ( otherwise known as desperate for any I fish I can get). I grew up in the Mudgee region so I have been lucky in chasing a variety of freshwater fish that the waterways in central west NSW provide. I am not a great fisho I admit & have been humbled further by the wealth of knowledge that is shared so freely everyday in the forums of this site. I am happy to say that my passion for fishing has only increased daily from joining FishRaider. Since moving to Croydon & reading the blogs everyday, my mate "Davo" & I have been venturing out in my area chasing the local spoils. I previously was of the understanding that most of the waterways in that area were polluted, fouled & lacklustre, but so far we have had a great run & overall the fish have been beautiful, healthy and pretty good sport. The next move is to buy a "little boat" that can be towed begrudgingly behind an Astra & won't pull the car in from the ramp (pretty good chance with my luck). Hopefully that will that get us amongst those Jewies & kingy's sitting round the harbour (a guy has to have a dream). I have rambled on long enough to bore everyone but I just wanted to say 2 things firstly - a 'thanks' to Malacoota Pete. after reading you piece on Narrabeen we decided to give it a go on the outgoing tide last week, end result was a beautiful 70cm Flattie that played on 6 runs - I was in 7th heaven as the last flattie I caught round that size was 20 years ago. Cheers Pete . We hope to run into some of you Raiders when you are out & about, just look for two drongo's who don't seem to know what they are doing - it's probably us. Secondly - As a new member I would like to say that Fishraider is one of the most friendly & welcoming sites I have ever been on. The advice, friendliness, respect & encouragement you give out will ensure happy fishing for many years to come. great work. Regards FishDrought!
