Here is myself in my hi tech fishing outfit

Well here goes my report 4 days of Camping with my horde ,,myself, girlfriend, and our 4 kids 6 to 16. We only had a bit of rain one night and when we were packing up. The campgrounds are nice and close to the beach a very very easy walk for any fisho to get to the beach. Some rocks to the north but I'm not sure exactly where the marine sanctuary starts so I stayed off them. Heaps of Pippies and Beach worms to be had though the worms are tough with the waves being so close together. None the less with minimal beach fishing experience and modest gear I did all right and got us a feed of whiting. I was using an Alvey 10ft rod with an Alvey 600B reel packed with 7 kg line with a 10kg trace. Pippies worked the best for me. The swimming was fun and the water not too cold. Just enough waves that the kids could tumble about without too much worry for the larger ones. Lots of open beach to fly kites. I have a 4 metre kite so I need lots of room. Camp grounds are nice with toilets and drinking water. Gas BBQ's are provided but there is a line to use. No showers so you have to make do. All in all a great time. Bait is available at the servo on Empire drive there may be a closer one but I did see a freezer of bait inside the servo for sure.

I just sat the test and you also need to have the boat safety course. Which NSW Marine offeres the night of the test. However one should study up before hand I think. At anyrate for 3 years it was $120 direct from NSW Marine for the general boat lic 73 Chris

I'm sure it is not one of these but it sure looks like a Perch. I've seen them with very bright red bellies like that before. Of course that was in Lake Michigan off the shores of Wisconsin in the USA

Greetings raiders I just purchased a 10ft tinnie with a 4 hp evenrude and it hasn't seen water for the last three years. Evidently it has been run every so often and did start first pull at the previous owners place and it sprayed water good so I assume the impeller is working fine, however before taking it out I thought it might be a good idea to have it serviced or at least gone over. I live in the Hills area in the Baulkham Hills Shire. Any references in the area? Thanks Chris

Exactly why I'm asking if anyone is avail. If I can't go Rocks then beach it is but I don't know anywhere there either. I've been boat fishing for the last several years but at the moment I'm stuck to ground so I'm looking for some mates or at least some directions on where to go. Second week of School holidays my girlfriend, our 4 kids and myself will be camping at Putty Beach in the Bouddi Nation Park. Looks like some beach fishing there outside of the marine sanctuary that is. Chris

anyone?

Greetings, Looking for someone to show me how to fish the rocks anywhere in Sydney either thursday or friday. I have my own gear and will buy bait. I just need a fishing partner. Any suggestions of where to go and how to rig up if anyone is not avail for those days so I can try myself? Chris

Gday all. The second week of School holidays 19th to the 24th I'll be camping at Putty Beach in the Boudii National Park near Gosford NSW. I'm very new to fishing Australia and would like some suggestions for gear, species to target, and techniques to have some fun. If anyone else is camping in the area during that week it would be great fun to get together. Chris
