Thanks Waza, another good yarn!

This is what we did too, I still remember wrapping the leather belt around the fly wheel to start em up. One year, we had a month a Brooklyn staying in a flat above the boatshed and going out in the wooden clinker hull hire boat most days. Great memories . . . . . . cheers, stu.

Goodonya BN! 👏

@kingie chaser We used to also get out to places like the Dee Why pub, The Antler, various pubs in Balmain, pub at Crows Nest and others I’m not sure I fully remember! Like you we saw lots of great Aussie bands, close up and sweaty. I’ll add Divinyls and Aussie Crawl to your list as a couple more of my faves.

Bloody hell . . . you guys keep bringing back the memories! Dad used to take Vincents APC's, I seem to remember them being pink. Wasn't the ad for Bex as the remedy for all that ails you 'a cup of tea, a bex and a good lie down' ?

That's the one I remember too! Selina's @ Coogee Bay Hotel in the 80's . . . . ahhh the memories . . Found a live version on Spotify and of course it's in my play list now . . . . When youngest son heard it for the first time in the car, he looked at me and asked 'are they saying what I think they're saying?' "yep, that was how it was done at their live shows!" I responded. 🤣 😇

Some bloody good advice right there. If your planning on some Luderick fishing, you’ll learn quickly about the ocean as you often need to fish low ledges. On the question of taking off your life jacket . .. why would you remove something that will keep you afloat when exhausted? Hope you get to travel in December.

As always, a bloody good read waza! Thank you.

Some of my thoughts . . . The most important thing is safety! The correct footwear for the type of rocks is important. Cleats are ideal Sydney sandstone, however are NOT the best choice for harder rocks like granite or volcanics. Wear lightweight clothing like t shirt and boardies, a windproof jacket can help keep you warm in cooler months. Tell someone where you are going and what time you'll be back. Check the forecast for weather, swell and tide. Then think about how that will impact what you are looking at for your 20mins observation of the rocks pre fishing! Google up Port Kembla rockfishing, I think it was Jan this year . . There was a good example of a guy who went fishing with a mate who said they'd be fine . . . . As others have said lifejackets are important but not the be all and end all. Though they are now mandatory in many LGA's. Stay safe and good luck in your fishing!

I believe Richard is correct, it's within your LGA or max of 5km from your front door and to not go into a LGA of concern.

Bootle, bloody classic! 😂

Maybe its like Catnip for cats! Shame you can't bottle it!!! 🤣

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA dave's feet HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Good onya waza!
