Just looked at seabreeze for the weekend in Newcastle and Sydney Surprised to see Newcastle had 40 - 45 knot winds and 5.5 mtre waves predicted for Sunday night Sydney not as bad but still rough Looks like a weekend at home coming up

garlic paste from the supermarket on bits of chicken works a treat

but they are worth it especially for those whjo have just started squiding this will improve your results by heaps tested it with brother i use egi brother doesnt i catch 14 brother catchs 2 next times it him using egi and i use nothing incase its the skill not the egi to make it a fare test i catch 4 brother catches 23 A.dawg~~~ never heard of it till now but it looks like its egi max for me too !!

I used to throw them all back then out of desperation kept a couple because not much else to keep one day - was surprised they tasted pretty good for lunch But then again there was no alternative that day

Dont know about those covers but just a few things that I do with mine It has lasted 4.5 years without real probs Got a little tear where aluminium frame of windscreen corners were sharp and the wind blowing had started an early hole - got it fixed by a cover guy reinforcing a strip that rubs on the windscreen edge with thick plastic stuff like bags are made of now also put small offcut squares of marine carpet over the sharp winscreen corners so it cant happen again to stop water building up on it I keep the boat sloping back by putting blocks under jockey wheel to get front higher - plus have an ice cream container on transom each side of engine well to let rain flow off without letting the transom edge become a pool wall, flows faster and is channelled so doesnt pool the pooling water or wind can make it rip so I just do these couple of things and it seems fine good luck

You a re a lucky man Slayer666 Hope the fish are around next week to break it in

Great write up Greg, it reinforces your impression from your test run and trips in your own boat well done, good choice tony

Well done great fish and dinner !!!

Excellent trip and report Sharky Well done

How did you go ???

well done Jayden Fishing with your son - gotta love that

Got to give it to you for commitment - weather must have been pretty crap out there Well done despite the conditions

Have a good trip up Settle in quickly and get the reports going Stay safe Slinky Tony

As for what I'm hoping to hit, I really dont care as a bad days fishing is better than a good day mowing the bloody lawn. Thats the way to go, Good luck Bill

Hey Steve now I'll be on the net for hours checking the raider site and now catching up on swift and shift When's lunch ??

Havent used mine yet ( Ray's post = I need one) but played with it casting into the pool to see what it did The pauses the Iceman mentioned make it just hang in the water, then reeling or twitching it makes it dive a bit then comes back to its own depth Funny things a desperate fisho gets up to when he cant get out to have a fish anyway its as if I went out and didnt catch anything - just saved money on petrol

yeah, thats why I only asked about fishing rather than catching, didnt want to put your on the spot I still think going out for a fish either on land or in a boat is a great way to unwind and forget about whatever headaches you may have If I catch something for dinner it is always a welcome bonus Good luck if you can get back there over summer, more pics and fish hopefully

sounds like your hard work still paid off nice bag of flatties always a good result Hope the weather is better next trip

Sorry to hear the fish didnt cooperate Still a good day out so it seems always better than being at work

Nice photo looks like a relaxing holiday Did you get any fishing in?

Great catch !! well done

PS. in my haste to get to work I forgot to thank Mrs Nanook for letting you fish to keep us posted and entertained

You are a very lucky / fortunate man Nanook Congrats By the look of your posts you are also more than handy with the fishing, lots of great catches Keep the posts coming

Great fish Hey whats your secret for having so much fishing time??? Cheers

Thanks again to Donna, Swordie and all the facilitators - especially Andrew, GregL and Slinky It was a great day Had lots of fun, lots of tips and new techniques plus got to meet more raiders - all a great group of people. Special thanks to GoFish pete for last minute supplies - well done! Learning about plastics then having a go to see in reality what it is all about was a really helpful, even though it meant me bugging Andrew, Greg and Slinky even more about hands on stuff thanks again!!!!!
