at the moment there fighting for the shooters because the shooters are loosing land to shoot on like the state forests. the shooters are also loosing there rights to own firearms. tougher laws are being put on shooters all the time. shooters are also constantly under fire from the press. illegal black market guns and shootings are put apon the law abiding firearm owners that do the right thing, and people think the law abiding firearm owners that do the right thing should have there firearms taken from them, they should loose a hobby they love doing. the thing is nearly every law abiding shooter is a fisherman as well and they fight for both the sports they love to do. fisherman, just fisherman fight for themselves, then have a sook when a little piece of water is closed to fishing or the bag and size limits are increased. try being a shooter that just had all the state forests closed down, now lets close down the same amount of area to fishing. and turn the same amount of sea into NP as there is on land. then fisherman might have something to winge about but at the moment fisherman have it easy compaired to shooters. shoorters are fisherman as well and fight for all out door related activities. fisherman fight for fishing and nothing else. why dont you ask Robert Borsak and Robert Brown why they do what they do. instead of winge about it.

i went with ray last year and had the same fun you guys had this year. we couldent do the trip this year because of prior arrangements but if Ray has organised a trip for next year and needs a crew, any one that wants a great trip should put up your deposit and book a spot. me and some mates are booked in next year for a 2 weeks on the houseboat and a week reef/game fishing in cairns. we enjoyed our time that much we wanted 2 weeks on the house boat. we want to spend some time chasing sail fish on light spin gear. we are also going to give it a go a month later when the weather is a bit warmer and with a bit of luck the spanyards are fireing. Ray were the mackerel boats around like last year?

one individual fisho may not make a difference, but if you add every fisho in nsw together and add up the fish they take in a 12 month period i think you would be supprised on the amount of fish that are removed from the water. i think the new rules are justified. you only need to keep enough fish to feed the family, fresh is best i dont see the point of putting a heap in the freezer.

looks like a brown trout to me. i have caugt a lot of browns that look like that. here are 2 browns caught out of the campbells river. totally different looking fish

sad to say but the people doing the wrong thing wont care if the dam is closed they will fish it any way.

top vid. were they all caught on the cube?

nice fin. what lure did you catch it on?

i have walked around the dam to many times to count. because you cant fish the wall any more that takes away about 1/3 of the dam to fishing. to walk the whole thing takes me about 4-5 hrs but i walk past a lot of water and dont fish it. if your young bloke is fit he would have now worries walking it but i would make a day of it pack a lunch and some drinks and go for it. i fished it a couple of weeks ago and got 6 rainbows up to 5lb all on pink tassies they dident seem interested in any thing else. but i would try celtas as well as rapala minnow in trout pattern.

any one heading out to browns over the next few days? we are going to give it a go if the weather is good. lets hope so. going to do some bottom bashing followed by a troll and then a bit of cubing. lets hope the fish want to play. Jim

cheers

cheers yarra, that could be aranged

river 2 sea 250 killer vibe in blue/silver

we fished in about 400-500m we used a tiagra 80 with 80lb mono and 4kg sinker . 14/0 circle hooks with a bit of lumo tube on a 4 hook patanosta rig with a purple glow stick between the hooks.

100hp suzuki 4 stroke and used about 100-120L fuel

went off shore on friday, took a mates new 5m plate boat out to browns to do our first deep bottom bash befor we went tuna chasing. on our second drop to the bottom we pulled up a nice blue eye which was a first for me. we done a couple more drops and my mate caught a nice one too. with 3 blue eye in the esky went for a troll looking for some tuna. we trolled east from browns for about an hour we had 5 skirts and one bibless lure running out the back when the bibless lure rod got a hit which made the lure loose its track and it hit the surface doing a bit of cart wheeling. i started winding it in flat out so i could fix it and drop it back out but it dived in and started swimming properly about 3m off the back of the boat and then all of a sudden it got smashed. well 1hr 20min later i had my first marlin at the side of the boat and to say the least we were pumped what a buzz. after a few pics we swam her and let her go. we thought it was a striped marlin because of the stripes and the colours when it hooked up. but after asking some guys and showing them some pics and the gopro footage they said its not a stripey its a blue. to top it off we were on our way back in and got a tangle with 2 of the skirts so we pulled up to untangle them and a small mako swam up to the back of the boat so i quickly put out a shark rig and in 5min i had my first mako in the boat. 3 first in the one day and a day with a good mate will be one that wont be forgoten.

Hi I have a mate that has been trying to sign to to fishraider but it keeps telling him the the Email account that he has can not be used on this site what email can he use

cheers yarraone. thats over 100 carp we have caught now since the october long weekend. also clicked over number 61 trout as well on saterday but if we dont get some rain in the next 2 weeks that will be the end of them in the small waterways.

caught my 56th trout since the season opened this arveo. seems the last 2 years of wet weather and no heat have let them breed. my step mum and mates think its good they have been eating them for tea for the last few weeks and i gave a mate a few big ones for the smoker. if we get the hot summer that they think we will get then that will be the end of them so have been making the most of it. here is a couple of pics. got a lot of fottage on my gopro including some under water stuff as well but i will wate untill december and put a movie togeather when i have time.

gday stan the carp were caught out of the macquarie river at bathurst. there was a rise in the river that week end so it brought them on the bite. Burrondong or wyangala dam will produce that many carp in a weekend and you also have a good chance of getting some yellas and silver perch and the odd cod to. i dig the worms in my garden but most good tackle shops should sell them. hope this helps. jim

a couple of large models caught while chasing trout this week.

not to sure about spots that side of the mountains but worms and corn are the best baits. a running sinker rig with a 1/0 hook works for me. this was from saterday of the opening weekend.

this was saterday of the opening weekend a quick 50 out of the Macqarie river my young bloke had a blast

i never even tried in the creeks i wasent interested in barra or jacks i only wanted to do some bluewater fishing and try some of the reefs.
