Hi All, The evening started off well. At 5pm we met at the designated spot. Soon it was to be a cast of 1000's. Roll call included Outnumbered and MrsOutnumbered and rus_cb, Jay and mate, Sammy0884 and fishin4fun, choteo and wife Sylvia and 21mth old son Lucas, TonOfFun and Sharky and mate Ben, stevefish, yours truly and swordfisherman (forgive me if I have forgotten anyone, pm me plz) On the water we met up with wakd and kikila and buster1. We made plans as we stood on the beach like soldiers ready for the assault on the Jewfish population . Sharky decided that he would need some sort of lure, he had no bait at all and took off to the tackle shop. Others keenly checked out each others boats and rods etc. After the obligatory bs session about what was to be caught and where (SECRET SPOTS) we headed off in all directions. Contact was to be made via 27 meg or mobile phone. We went out to the CC bridge and flogged the water for about and hour and a half with no result. Judging by the phone calls no one else was having any luck either. The storms looked like they were about to wreck a good night so we pulled the pin and came home. As we left we said bye to all the boats in our vacinity. When we arrived back at the Oatley boat ramp we met up with quinfish and his brother John who were just on their way out after dealing with some boat probs. A BIG WELCOME to another female. Choteo's wife Sylvia and their 21 month old son Lucas joined in last night and showed they are worthy fishraiders. Fishraider's youngest member was seen wielding his rod like an old pro A couple of shots of members follow (apologies for the poor quality). Brian and Teri took some pics also and I am sure they will post soon (after sleep) to let us know about the night's events. These Trojans stayed out all night and here's hoping it was fruitful for them. Thank you to Brian and Teri for organising the evening from us all, excellent job. rus_cb, MrsOutnumbered and Outnumbered fishin4fun and Sammy0884 buster1 and kikila

Thanks Sharky and harold for your comments. I agree the ambience of this forum is now pleasant and informative for all that view it. Cheers mrsswordfisherman

back after holidays Martin. Yes there are some new moderators (hi I am Donna ). Fishraider is still going strong judging by the amount of posts and rapidly increasing membership (20 - 30 each week steadily). I am continually amazed at the knowledge and expertise our members share, a committed bunch of genuine and friendly fishos. I am sure after the holiday break you will see some of those familiar faces and continue to enjoy the forum activities. Looking forward to reading your posts too Cheers mrsswordfisherman

Geez thanks for THAT suggestion Hooky but PVC pipe might be a bit hard for me to use . Being a Registered Nurse I could get a urinal from the hospital that might suit swordfisherman and perhaps catheterise myself and wear a leg bag ....... the possibilities are endless Cheers "woman" aka mrsswordfisherman aka Donna PS What length do I get the PVC pipe cut to

Yes, I think I may take your advice

Hahahahhahah I never let a photo opportunity go by......... hope he never catches me using the bucket
