AnyChance

Good idea!!! and definately on the cards! Though with the weather the way it is looking for Thursday/Friday. It could be yucky I've purchased a Fishing Kite (Allows you to get your bait out upto 500M so they claim - have to have enough line on the spool though!) never tried it before, but sounds like fun. Now all I need is a more northerly facing beach that it suitable for camping. Any Ideas??????

Do fish even bight when there are 8 meter waves about? (prob won't be able to cast out far enough anyway. any one know of a release mechanism for using a kite to get the bait out?)

Not Much Better???????????? HOW about HEAPS WORSE!!!!!!! 15knts more wind strength and 8 Metre Waves!!!!!!!!!! I'll be lucky to find Stockton Beach, in-tact at all!!!!!!!! WE have made a pact !!! Snow wind hail or Shine!!!!!! I'll keep an eye out for one of 'Pasha Bulkers' mates! Bought some extra sand pegs today, might take them back and upgrade them for the 70cm ones + take some boat anchors! Looks like a friggen interesting weekend coming up! PS We are arriving thursday morning & If I don't have a report on here by tuesday!!!! Report me missing!!!!!!!

Holly Carp!!!!!!!!! Does anyone know what Port Stephens / Newcastle Scenario is like? Should I be taking my boat anchors to Stockton to hold the tent down?

I looked up the story about the guys that had a 4wd with a game fishing chair strapped to the bullbar! ....they had a mate swimming bait out on a surfboard!!!..buggered if I'm going to get on a 'lilo' (dodn't own a surfboard) and paddle bait out!!!! crikie!!! I did see something about bait weight being limited too 200grams! I think we'll have a great week anyway! The Red Royal prawn tip is something I'll try ......If I can find em! I'm thinking maybe tailer might be the go............Promise to make a report .........regardless! (knowing us lot .............fish / no fish .............it will be worth a read) Last adventure in the hawkesbury involdeved naked fishing (due to Man overboard..........bloody cold it was too).............was a laugh and thankfully, the camera (his) went overboard..............otherwise it would have been one UGLY report! I can't see anything wrong with using a metal trace though, given that location can often provide Tailor! I'll take in on board, though feel most rangers would be leanient, depending on your setup! As for camping, I understand it is nether permitted nor Not permitted.......................but tolerated. Can't wait!

Thanks! Yeah! was thinking if we get bored with the salmon, we might hook one up and send it out in hope of an upgrade!!! not sure if the gear ive got will handle it, but might have some fun finding out!
