I have been doing a fair bit at night in the last few weeks this is what i wear. Long sleeve Thermal top Thermal pants (sometimes i take them along and put on later if needed) Track pants Long sleeve shirt jumper Decent spray jacket (something that the wind won't go through) beanie very thick pair of sock they go knee high if needed Neck warmer (beanie material just goes on neck) Having the set of clears fitted to the boat has been the best thing to keep me warm. Before i had these fitted it was hard to stay warm if it was windy. I was out the other morning it was only 4deg and i was warm as toasts.

Did you get an answer to this ??? Can you guys add myself and my mate Steve. We will be on a house boat as well. Could be a couple of others with us if they are allowed out . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . JOHNNO ???????

Does anyone have a map of the Hawksebury they can put up with where the MOTHERSHIP will be anchoured please ????

Drifting this weekend BIG FELLA bring the gemmie out for a run

thanks man this is my usual day/night out fishing and i havn't had a huge amount of luck. I must say though i have never come back with the shits i just love getting the boat out and giving it a run. Anyone got Tuesday off and wanna have a fish ??????

Well i have been hanging to get out and have a decent fish. Finally have the boat back and ready to do some fishing. So anyone wanna throw some tips around on somewhere to try I mainly fish Botany Bay have been in the Harbour/middle harbour a few times. Haven't fished the Hawskebury or pittwater for over 10 years. Was thinking about doing a Clifton gardens/middle harbour and surrounds trip but willing to go anywhere within 2 hours of Sydney(Liverpool) come on guys help me out i can't seem to catch anything decent

Yeah your right i was thinking after it happen if i was anchored i would have been in big trouble. I have had plenty of big boats pass by and some decent waves but nothing like the waves this tug made. And yes they did pass very close was almost like they ment to do it

Just thought i would pass on a warning to others (newbies like me) to be VERY VERY carefull if fishing out miloneux and you see a tug come motoring out. I was out a few nights ago and seen a tug coming didn't think much of it till i started hearing waves breaking. i look at the tug and i see some VERY decent size white caps heading my way. I quickly raced to pull in my rod i had out the back of the boat (thank god i only had one out and didnt have the anchor) and got to the front as quick as started the motor and pointed the boat straight in to the waves. I am so glad i done this as the waves the tug made would have sunk my boat on the angle it was sitting on. The waves had to be a mtr plus and they were surfable(verly surfable). The first wave that hit my boat went right over the bow and smashed against the windscreen. The next 1/2 a dozen that followed were not much smaller they scared the crap out of me. so be careful out there guys

are these the houses/shacks you see when looking over the cliffe near the coffee shop at the end of the national park(close to Stanwell Tops) ????

Thanks for some great replies keep em coming Got the boat back today have the dual battery set up in, Led lights fitted to light up the boat for night fishing, clears up front fitted, so slowly getting it set up i have a few spots in mind i want to try just have to find the time to get out

Well there are always great reporst ect on here so thought i would see if anyone wants to share what to look for when trying to find a spot to pull up and fish (brigdes/around moored boats ect ect ) I mainly fish rivers/bays so any help would be appreciated

sure is a top offer Just wish i new i could go out without producing burley all day

MATE WHAT A TOP JOB I wish i had the time and patience to do somethingt like that(oh and the skill) Looks great happy boating

You often see some great names on the sides of boats so thought i would throw it around and see what you guys have called your boats My young bloke(Jake) come up with the name on our boat
