  1. The last three years have been enormous for many of us and can be contributed to NO nets etc.

    There are other contributing factors like cleaner water.WE have also helped with responsible fishing.

    What must not happen is for fisho`s to take for granted these great times.

    Also those that are catching fish are working very hard for their success buy catching their own bait

    and putting in the time.

    They also fish tides and and use the electronic equipment now available to great advantage.

    Yes the fishing has improved but RAIDERS will tell its not as easy as it sounds. ENJOY your time

    in the club and catch your share of fish.

  2. HI LH

    I now only use a small length of chain(1 mtr) and small reef anchor in that sort of bottom for the

    same reason. IT looks like its too small to hold but it does.WE let out plenty of rope to take the strain.

    I also slowly lower the anchor.IT is a lot easier with two people.

    UP until now have not had anchor slip but be aware this can happen.

    TRY to carry a couple of different size anchors.

    YOU are not on your own with this problem.I have even used a brake disk in that type of bottom with thin

    rope that will easily snap if jammed.

    Again always be alert when fishing in close.Before you decide to anchor watch the swell and then decide

    where you will fish.

  3. Looks much better with the lines marked.When I used it on tuesday the fencing was still there

    and no lines marked.That was a very good idea. Will help those that have trouble and like to use two lanes.

    DON`T forget when they increase the parking they will increase the cost to park there.

    LETS hope its no more than double what it is now.

  4. A good start for your first boat.Have lots of fun with it and make sure you wash it thoroughly after

    use.THAT is when you get home regardless.I have a boat as old as yours and runs like new.I fish

    during the week on the harbour and it creates a lot of talk due to its appearance.I bet before long you will

    want to upgrade.

    Good luck and catch plenty of fish.

  5. If theboat is as sound as you say it is enjoy yourself.You will iearn a great deal from it.

    Just make sure its what you want to use it for.I wouldn`t spend too much money on it

    If thats what your going to do I say keep looking.

    I would also be worried about the age but they were built solid.

    Good luck.

  6. I am pleased to advise that Drummoyne boat ramp is now open.As I only fish during the week I Have no complaints.There is now only two lanes so that will cause hassles on weekends.The floating pontoon in the middle has caused the problem.

    I had the privelige to be the first to use it @8.30 this morning 01/12/09.
