Excellent Rob, you will hit hall of fame for sure. But cid is doing great? 10 correct in 55 secs wow and looks like we have people other than raiders playing for us Cheers mrsswordfisherman

Hi all, thought I would start up this thread for members to get to know each other a little. We have had so many new members in the last few months and its interesting to know where we all come from. I am mrsswordfisherman aka Donna and have the honour of being one of 2 female members on this site . I am a moderator on this site and visit daily to read about the experiences of members. I am pushing 50 ( but sometimes act like a 20 yr old ) and am the partner of swordfisherman aka Stewy. I am a mother of 2 beautiful and smart daughters. A Registered Nurse involved with Nurse Education/OH&S, I enjoy trivia, fishing, the arts, 10 pin bowling and online card tournament directing and competing (cribbage, canasta, euchre etc.) I have only been fishing for a year or two but I am learning real fast and have a great mentor in swordfisherman. My catches are not that notable but all caught on sp's. In fact I have never used live bait and have literally "grown up" on these plastic wonders. Best so far is a bass of 52 cms and a pb flattie of 56 cms. I enjoy reading the posts from members and learn something every day. We can be seen around the Sydney waterways in our teal coloured Polycraft boat, give us a wave if you see us. Don't forget to fill in your member profile and send a personal message at any time if any problems. Cheers mrsswordfisherman ADDIT: A few months after I posted the above in 2006 I became one of the 3 owners of fishraider. I am the only female owner of a fishing website in Australia I believe. Now, 12 months on, there are now many, many more then 2 female members, women who like to fish and join in with their hubbys, sons, dads etc.... are now regular contributors to this site. Our aim is to have the forum evolve into a place where women, young folk and men can share their fishing experiences from beginners to the more experienced. A website that is informative, educational and enjoyable with offline activity such as socials, workshops and lots more. Contribute to fishraider, don't be shy and enjoy it

Wow Mondo, lightening speed that mate Cheers mrsswordfisherman

Man we have some clever raiders here Cheers mrsswordfisherman 10 correct in 93 secs well done flattieman Cheers mrsswordfisherman

Ah yes that's it, we call them thongs and you call them jandals. I have just googled and found an OFFICIAL Crocs website in NZ http://www.crocs.org.nz/ All jokes aside, you should try these shoes out mate Cheers Donna

Ah clutch you are at a distinct disadvantage being over in Kiwiland . Crocs are a brand of shoes that are worn by the most discerning fishermen and women . They are an excellent boating shoe that stop you from slipping on those nasty boat ramps. They are very comfortable to wear and I own a few pairs in different colours. Check em out below
