Cider is pretty straight forward, especially if you've been brewing beer. Make sure you use good juice, no pasteurisation or preservatives. Not the supermarket crap. I go to the farmers markets and buy bottles. Let them know that you want it for cider and check that there's no preservatives. Add champagne yeast. There'll be a volume suggestion on the pack. In the past I've used 40% cherry or pomegranate juice, with pretty good results. Again, preservative free. Wholefoods and the like can be a good source.

Not bad smoked or grilled, like most oily fish.

The area covered by the lock-out laws already exempts the second casino site, years before it's even built!

It got chucked, apparently Hobart wanted it but i think it might have been scrapped. The developers of the exhibition and convention centre projects wanted it gone because it would have been in the way, and with light rail soon to be built through the CBD it was seen as redundant. Hrgh

Looking forward to the posts. I'll be in Darwin in a few weeks time for work, currently trying to fit some fishing into the plan. Hrgh

Echoing everyone that attended, a massive thank you to those who volunteered their time to organise, teach and feed us today. I learnt a heap, and your support for fellow fishos, beginners, novices and old hands alike, is hugely appreciated. Great to meet such a friendly bunch of fisher-folks as well. Hrgh

Lucky kid.

Count me in. Joel

Holy crap, looks like some trip. I'm hungry.

Bugger the dollar value, a kingfish off the rocks would be too much of a trophy for me to sell. Surely it tastes even better for the effort. Awesome catch. Hrgh

The northern breakwall is good for bream, either beach side of in the channel. On the south side, theres a breakwall inside the channel at Reids Reserve called Lucy's wall, produces bream and blackfish. I've found casting west calmer and easier to fish. Hrgh

I don't know the area at all, so your post led me to a search. I found this on wikipedia 'Boat Harbour had a reputation as one of the most polluted beaches in Sydney'. I don't know if that is still the case? Hrgh

I use circles when chasing drummer. I don't have a massive catch rate but I doubt it's because of the tackle I'm using, though I'd prefer to blame the tackle. Circle hooks certainly haven't stopped me catching drummer. Usually use size 1 of the rocks for drummer (also the occasional luderick as bycatch), but I'll go up to size 1/0 or 2/0 if chasing bream, flathead or pinkies. Hrgh

Nothing exists in a cloud, if you posted the photos on Fishraider then your best chance is if they are still sitting on the Fishraider server. If you can't find them under 'gallery', via your account info at the top right hand corner of the fishraider page, you could ask the moderators to have a search for you. Any info regarding dates, filenames etc would help them. Hope that helps. Hrgh
