GregL Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 (edited) G'day Raiders. Last night I was notified that I was on post 999 from a fellow reader. Thanks Ray! I have been an active member on this forum for about 2 years and definatly is my fav out of them all. Fishraider I find the most friendly bunch and definatly where people are willing to share information freely. I came from a bream tournement background where things are all hush hush to even the point where you would set eachother up or flog other fishers areas and try sting their fish before tournements. To now be a part of a group that invite eachother out, share tackle, spots and little secrets really gives me some good faith back into humanity. I hope out off my now 1000th post I have contributed some half decent information that someone out there has found useful or atleast entertaining! The way I see it, the more good you put in the better you get out of the site! Lastly on this, I would like to thank Donna and Stewy plus the rest of the MOD team that keep Raider the way it is today. Cheers Guys! Well back to why this post is in Lure and fly, my most active post area The pressure was on for at least 1 decent fish over the side just to have a decent report to put together for post 1000 and of corse what's a fishing report without a photo? Well a very late night last night having deep and meaningfuls and way to many wines, I climbed out of bed around 11am with a nice headache.... Up the street to grab a coffee and breaky I gave Rich a call back to see if he wanted to go on a arvo run. Crappy forecast but ya never know sitting in the lounge room! Slow run up to the Longy area and out with the sea anchor to try tame the drift speed down a little. Tuff fishing when your drifting at 1.6kn! Anyways only a few rubbish fish for me and Rich on his second trip out offshore scores himself another respectable fish, wont be long till that Skeeters up for sale me thinks! LOL Rich, another pic for your mum! (Only two pic's Mrs Potter will have of her son smiling will be him holding snapper caught on NEXT!) Worth taking the SLR out me thinks.

GregL Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 Thanks guys for the kind words.... great pic Greg. hard to stay in bed when they go like they do.. Hit it on saturday only to cop a green one over the front. now if only my boat was another 10 foot long..... Dude, pretty gnarly out there this arvo, we had a nice one come threw the back door or should I just say right over the back of the boat! it was even blowing out the sea anchor inside out when we were coming over the really big ones as you hit the edges of the reef where they really stand up! Never felt dangerous, maybe a little rocky for those that don't have their sea legs yet Oh and have you ever been standing at the front of a boat fishing and as the wave rolls under the boat and suddenly your looking straight down at water and the bow sprits 1cm away from going under? Thank god for padded combings and grab rails! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
