james7 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Is there a better place? I've been visiting South West Rocks for a few years now. I just love it! There's no better place to be than on the beach at sunrise. Of course, chasing some kingies at Fish Rock is fun too! Cheers Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fabulous country up there Peter and Kempsey Council certainly helped South West Rocks along nicely. Ever walked along the path that leads to the river mouth, coming in from the end of the little dirt road and had a night session there? jewgaffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaky181 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 WOW Why would you want to be any where else Here on Fishraider there is a phenominal (cant spell is there a spell checker) amount of talented people Is the photographer a pro or just a person with a camera like so many of us. With some of the photos on here they could do a coffee table book no words just photos absolutley awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only ever fished the beaches and been outside twice in a boat. I'd like to give the river a go some time. Cheers Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, I think I'm better at taking photos than catching fish! One bit of advice is ALWAYS take a camera with you! You never know what you will see. Here's another one from SWR Cheers Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bart Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 HI Peter, Magnificent photo,s taken of some of South West Rocks scenery. I too visit the Rocks to fish in July each year. It is essential to take the cameras especially when sunrise or sunset is happening. I took a photo one sunrise at the boat ramp of a herd of the local kangaroos standing on the hill sillouetted against the rising sun. Unreal shot. Also closeup shots of the dolphins on the Macleay. My only concern is that progress is changing SWR but that's life. CHEERS BART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Peter Hi PETER, The fishing is good ,relaxing and the ideal cure for stressed out City Folks. I love the place. The only thing that pisses me off are the young testerones who fly past and leave about a metre of wash. I wont worry their turn will come one day. Re the photos Peter, I somehow have to download from my SONY movie camera with those shots mentioned. I am still a novice at that,being a 1940's love child.( hate the term BABY BOOMER) However I am working at it. CHEERS BART. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only been visiting there for a few years, so I can't tell if it's different now. I hope it doesn't change too much in the future. I like it just the way it is.
