Ask a rod builder - I suspect it may be capable of being bound to fix it. Your local tackle shops may help located one.

There are a few Raiders in the Hastings

Sixmaps.nsw.gov.au is webbased. Be aware the photograph overlay is quite old (I call it OldMaps) however has very good detail. Drove over the Hastings the other day it's looking good

Forgive my ignorance, what/where is the big Anna?? I would love another Arrowz - wolf in sheeps clothing

I would check that the Watersnake can use the lithium battery first. I purchased a new Watersnake through a large chain last year at a very cheap price as it cannot operate on a lithium battery.

Yes Pickles, A Big Bible with lots of drag. And James is not the only one needing help

Thanks Fil, We fished Weipa in early October last year. Caught some nice Queenies but not on fly. I will take all the white flies next year. Thanks, Hoods

Thanks for the report BN. A change in location results in a few fish. Well done. Looking forward to your visit up this way.

Well done Scratchie & Crew. Those numbers prove persistence pays. Find the Fish - Catch the Fish. How is the car park fishing? And just to add keep some wire on hand as i have seen a photo of a very nice Wahoo boated up our way. Thanks for the report Hoods

Hi Neal, Thanks for the report. Good to see you are out "on the water", however from your photos it still looks barely fishable. Would the creek be a better option with reduced flow!! Regards, Hoods

Great weather, kids catching fish, Great photos. Whats not to like. Thanks for the report & sharing. The Manning is also clear & fishing well for flatties, school jew etc.

Thanks for the report & video. Best wishes to your daughter. The Captains word is Final.

That is the best way to eat trout. Thanks for the report.

Thanks for the report. If you go into That tackle shop without a plan it will cost you a whole day!! At least you had the best of the weather.

Love your work. It seems a Raider Rod for a Fish Raider - how appropriate. Congratulations.

Thank you.

Hi Ben, Thanks for the report and congrats on the Queenie on Fly. Can you tell me what colour(s) you tied your Clouser please? and does it matter what colour Thanks Hoods

Congratulations on your hard work so far. In life it is great to have choices. Some people don't get that chance. The more education you have the greater your choices in my opinion. I went to an Ag College and had "no choice" being 3rd gen. If I had to choose i would look firstly at resources at the facility including industry standing/ability to be employed at graduation and nearly as importantly the culture. It is your peers who will help you through the course and more importantly build those relationships that become sooo important later. Good Luck Hoods PS My Grandfather gave me some advice - The harder you work the luckier you seem to get and.. Good Players make their own luck Don't waste it

Thanks for the report. I recall catching redfin in Barren Box swamp back when I were a lad in the 70's. Water was so clear you could sight cast back then. My question is - how would you prepare Redfin for the table? Thanks, Hoods

I would try along the waterfront in Tea Gardens around the boats and jetties (close to the coffess shops!!). Otherwise anywhere along the water front for mullet around the bridge and along the river in Hawks Nest is accessable. There is a fishing shop in Hawks Nest that are helpful. Good luck.

Great work. A bit of tinsel around the edges!!??

50/50 except the shoulders are best for Sashimi Well done and thanks for the report

Hi Neil, Take em to the biggest lake in the southern hemisphere - Lake Macquarie and walk them around the edges chasing Flatties or floats for mullet. The Hunter will be problematic with little'uns. Beaches will require some walking so not that great. Swansea/Belmont have good access (and coffee/ice creams) Prove me wrong

You guys "crack" me up has a new meaning Congratulations on your public performance - hope you don't end up on UTube!!

Maaate Give me a call. If you're fishing already fishing north there are lots of options.
