Hi Rockyjack and welcome to the forum. I have heard that big Jewies are often found on the northern wall. Yep, the Snapper like it after a good stir up. Reckon I will have to get myself up to Port and give them a try. Jill

Hi Dan I live 70kms away from Port, I shop there but have not yet fished there. Have a 12' tinny and not yet put it in the river either. Wow, I'm a shocker eh! I must get my act together. Which breakwall are you on, northside or southside? I spent a fortnight at Camden Head recently and lots of time fishing on Washouse Beach. While there I noticed a fella fishing from the rocks near the point, maybe it was KINGvirgin. Might catch up with you sometime up that way. Jill

Pete, that's the Coastal Rescue building on the breakwall at Forster. Great time you had Roberta, wish they had been on the bite during the Blackfish Social, never mind, always next year! Which spot was the fella fishing for the Bream? Jill

Sure makes you want to hop a plane to Tas eh! Jill

Who's a happy chappy, I am very envious, makes my 12' tinny look rather tiny. Have fun Bob. Jill

Well done Donna!! Thanks for all the hard work you do for all of the Raiders, giving us this great site to meet new friends, share our stories etc. Then there are the workshops, socials etc. We know its a HUGE committment, both time and money and we thank you for that. 2000 posts, unbelievable! Jill

Welcome Seazar. Great catch. That's one big lot of sashimi....YUM! Jill

Bream have been off the bite of late...well done! Jill

Hi Col Good choice, we have two Stihl chainsaws. They tell me old Telstra workers make good fisher folk...lol Good to see you got the "faces" working. Jill

Hi Col The clickable faces appear on the left of the screen when you are typing your messages/reports. Put your cursor where you want the face then click on the face on the left that you wish to use. Hope this works for you. I hope you bought Pat an easy start chainsaw otherwise she may need to do weights at the gym to get the strength to overide the compression Bye now Jill

Colbra, that is some catch! I have not had this happen to me...yet...lol Jokes aside, that is one serious flattie, well done. Jill

Hi Col I guess those of us newbies to Blackfish will see weed everywhere now...lol Got to ask, why the chainsaw? Its me that lives on acreage Jill

Hi Colbra What a top shot! Could sell this pic for artwork master for a postcard. Digital or SLR, I have both, the SLR (Minolta SRT303) takes great shots because it allows me to get the shot I want. For those interested, my digital is a Nikon Coolpix. Cheers Jill7779

Hi everyone OK, the fish were not on the bite ,but, hey, that is fishing!! There are other matters to consider, location, relaxation, the new friends you make and just having a great time with like minded people! Peta and I had a ball!!! We would like to thank everyone for making us feel very welcome and very much a part of the "fishraiders group". Stewy and Donna, your forum rocks, thanks for giving us all a place to meet, swap stories, make new friends and have these fantastic socials. To Roberta, what can we say? Your blood is worth bottlin', you are a treasure! Your gesture at the presentation came as a complete surprise, we were quite speechless and very moved. Thank you for the time you spent with us teaching us the finer points of fishing for Blackies. This covered rod and line set up, knots, you name it, gosh, so much knowledge and given so freely to "the girls" you met on the forum The Sunday worm catching class was good fun and the backside had a break from the hard seats in the tinny. Outdoor Dan, Roberta, Colbra (Col), Jill7779 and Sails (Cameron) learning the art. I finished the day joining Coolamon, LadsLad, Sails and Peta on the wharf, not a lot happening but did catch a couple of sand whiting on worms caught earlier in the day. Great time had by all, will be back next year! Jill and Peta
