The Eastern Blue Groper (which is blue as a male or red as a female) can change sex from female to male if the male is removed. The ideal bait for this species, not to be confused with Grouper (a QLD fish) is the Red Bait Crab - see picture below The tackle needs to be robust at least 50lb, mono or braid but preferably mono from the rocks and a very strong rod. A small ball sinker running directly to a 4 x strong 5/0 to 8/0 hook with said crab in segments or whole. A paternoster rig can be used in very reefy areas. When a large groper grabs your crab HOLD ON TIGHT

MARINE RESCUE NSW Media Release 3 January 2014 Marine Rescue NSW volunteers on watch over holidays Marine Rescue NSW volunteers are on high alert over the January holidays, ready to assist boaters in need of help on the water. Commissioner Stacey Tannos said the organisation’s volunteers already had responded to several serious incidents over the festive season. “Four days before Christmas, two fishermen were rescued off Iluka on the North Coast after surviving an overnight ordeal clinging to an esky in the ocean,” he said. “A major search operation was mounted to locate the pair, involving four Marine Rescue units, the NSW Police Force Marine Area Command, Ballina Jet rescue service, Ballina Surf Lifesaving and Westpac Lifesaver Helicopter. “In the Illawarra last Saturday, Bulli Surf Lifesavers and MR Port Kembla responded when two people were thrown overboard when their boat hit a reef off Bulli beach. ”This followed the lengthy search in unfavourable conditions by Marine Rescue Shoalhaven and Jervis Bay and police after a rock fisherman was washed into the sea further south along the coastline at Mermaid Beach, near Currarong, on December 23. “On New Year’s Eve, our members on Sydney Harbour went to the assistance of 15 vessels that had mechanical breakdowns or went aground during the fireworks celebrations. “The following day, our Cottage Point crew was called to tow a 46 foot flybridge cruiser experiencing fuel problems at Long Reef to safety in rough conditions.” Commissioner Tannos said December and January were the busiest months of the year for the 3200 volunteer members of the 46 MRNSW units along the coastline and inland on the Alpine Lakes and Murray River at Moama. “Many people are on holidays, perhaps in a new boat and on unfamiliar waters, but they can be assured our members are standing by, ready to help when needed,” he said. He urged boaters to always Log On with their nearest Marine Rescue unit when heading out. “Boaters simply radio or phone their nearest MRNSW unit to let them know where they’re heading, how many people are on board and when they’re due back,” he said. “This will be even easier when we launch our MRNSW smartphone app, allowing boaters to log on electronically. “Logging On ensures someone responsible knows a boater is out on the water and can quickly start to search if they’re not back when expected. “It’s about peace of mind, knowing someone’s watching out for them while they get on with enjoying their day on the water.” Commissioner Tannos also reminded all skippers to ensure everyone on board was wearing a lifejacket at all times. “Nine out of every 10 people who drowned while boating in NSW over the past decade were not wearing a lifejacket,” he said. “Please don’t gamble with your safety. Our crews will be on the way as quickly as possible but wearing a lifejacket is the simplest thing you can do to help save your life in an emergency.” For a full list of all volunteer Marine Rescue units in NSW, visit www.marinerescuensw.com.au

You are a Good person Moro mou. The good karma will be returned to you for sure mrsswordfisherman

As Peter says he is a Site Sponsor and can advertise his product, business etc as many times as he likes Without our great sponsors we would not be able to run fishraider and would have to close it. Paikea we do appreciate your attention to detail and if he was not a sponsor we would not allow it of course thanks

That is an excellent tip Paikea thanks for sharing that

Good on you Scratchie and thanks very much for helping us

Not at the moment - I do have a contact though if anyone might be interested

You will see 2 fields when you make a post, topic title, topic tags Topic Tags are a way of sorting information that can be searched for later. For example if your post is about catching flathead in the Hawkesbury at sunset you might tag the post with the words HAWKESBUSY, FLATHEAD, FISHING AT SUNSET Members can click on the words in the tags list on that post and they will be presented with a whole list of other posts tagged with those words. You could use this to tag your posts to find easily eg: if you make a post about a PB then make the tag "DONNA PB". Each time you get a PB use that tag. If you did a search later on down the track all your PB posts will come up Swordie had tagged his last post with "4 days away with the boyzzzz" That tag on its own would not do much.I altered it to "days away with the boyzzzz" and added the same tag to his Weipa post in Sept. See the screenshot below of the search results There are many ways you can use tags to help manage information. I am sure members will think of lots of ways

That is very, very sad

Paikea that software looks very good and it is cheap. http://goprouser.freeforums.org/index.php this seems a good forum for go pro users

Thanks Paikea A very big Merry Christmas to all fishraider members and guests and their families and friends. Hope everyone has a fabulous Christmas Day and a prosperous New Year 2014 Regards from Donna and Stewy

very, very sad indeed as a mother I shed a tear when I watched his Mum cuddling his stuffed toy Roberta, I would think there would be raiders that know this family for sure.
