This is sounding like millionaires row!! I am sure most of the readers are not in your position. I presume you bought your house many years ago Noel. It would now be worth a lot more of course. As we age we do not know what is around the corner. There are lots of compelling reasons for the move. Moving could be because you don’t need a large house anymore. Kids grow up and move out and even not live locally. Consider your health. That can change overnight and the amount of money or property you have becomes irrelevant. You may sadly lose a partner, wife or husband. I have lost many friends too early. I always thought I would stay working until I was 65 and then have tons of super. A wise person said to me “how long do you think you will live”? How much money will you need? I had a major health scare and my thoughts changed dramatically. Another couple we know sold their beautiful palace with everything that opened and shut. They are very keen fishos and they bought into an over 50’s community. They absolutely love it. They get in their caravan and travel around all winter fishing. We constantly see pics of captures at Cahill’s Crossing, King Ash Bay etc etc. They are enjoying what is left of their life. The time is approaching where they will be unable to manage caravanning soon. Enjoy life while you are able. Give kids money now and watch them enjoy it. No need to watch them struggle. Comments above are general and not directed at you Noel. Hope it works out for you. Spend all those extra dollars and pay for the removalists. Go away on a big holiday of your dreams. Hire an interior designer who will get painters and make any changes/improvements needed while you are away!! Not much to be nervous about. Move forward

Thanks for the discussion on this widely broadcasted event. I am closing it now as it has been resolved. The person has been identified and fined. mrsswordie

Sorry to hear that health news @Paikea. Hope you are able to keep any pain under control and I am sure you have a great medical team to support you. You are doing what you need to do and your grandkids take priority. They will remember the billy cart. Lets hope they win on that special cart. Donna

Oh boy it MUST be bad!!!

Thanks waza ! Thanks to all the members for input and creation of wonderful and informative reports. Without you we have no fishraider. A big thank you to all our moderators who assist me to keep this a happy and special place. 2024 is here and may you all get PB’s 🎣🐠🐟

Shocking story @Yowie This is why swordie and I banned spear fishing posts here in fishraider many years ago. It isn’t catch and release is it!! The poor fish have no chance at all.

Thank you so much Mike for all you do to help moderate here on fishraider. You have been my right hand man and always willing to discuss any issues. The content and quality of your reports are terrific. Happy New Year 2024 to you and the family Mike.

A very big thanks to our moderators @Little_Flatty Mike who has put in a massive effort this year, @Scratchie Jeff, @dirvin21 Dave, @RahTara and who give their time to help me with keeping our space a happy and safe community. Special shout-out to @Blackfish who does a great job on ID of fish for members. Every one of these mods have very busy lives but still pop in to help when needed. Hope everyone catches lots of fish and enjoys the holiday break. We look forward to some exciting fishraider things in the coming year. Cheers from mrsswordie your Community Manager

Definitely no rock fishing for you. Members have given you some very good information and tips. FISHRAIDER DOES NOT ENCOURAGE ANYONE TO GO TO ANY OF THE SPOTS MENTIONED IN THIS FORUM AND YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK Have a look at this link with safety tips https://www.nsw.gov.au/environment-land-and-water/coasts-waterways-and-marine/rock-fishing-safety-tips

Thanks for taking the time to visit us. You have a very busy life now indeed. Great pics 👏

This is fantastic @Little_Flatty Thanks for your effort

Good to see you back @Hill373737 That is a great report and it’s even better to see a smiling raider! Look forward to more posts

@kantong kantongjnr is becoming a very good angler (like his Dad) I really like your formatting of report. Spacing and dot point makes it easy for me to scan 😄
