    And if you wear glasses

    You can get slip-overs in Polaroids, if you wear prescriptions glasses, I have used a pair for the last three years top stuff. But go to a optometrist, will cost about $50.00, cheap is not always the best.

    Dead Battery

    Hi, Dan A,

    I have a small solar panel I put on my boat while it is parked at home and keeps the battery charged up all the time. I brought mine at Jay Car Electronics for about $130.00 threes years ago. There would be other Raiders who would know more about solar panels it than I. Marine battery is the way to go(ask someone in the know as there are pitfalls if you buy the wrong one.

    Hi All,

    A big thanks for the info on Crowdy Head it will certainly make things a lot easier than just arriving there and standing around scratching ones head wondering what to do next. I think the key is plan ahead and avoid the hassles.

    Hi Silverfish,

    My first post but something I know a little about.

    My family has had a house there for the past 20yrs and this is where I do most of my offshore fishing.

    Boat ramp is excellent and at this time of year offshore you will get snapper, flathead and pesky leatherjackets. Be prepared for a silly amount of big red rock cod and Sargent bakers before finding the quality fish. If it's rough then there's alway good salmon and tailor under the lighthouse from the stones.

    Good luck getting any useable information out of the locals. The well known marks in any GPS book are actually a good place to start. A trip out with the local charter will give you better spots.
