Of COURSE it counts! Well done LF!

Hope you heal up quickly and well Pickles! Well done to Rosie, your training must be spot on for her to perform with someone else.

Last time I went for a haircut (and it was MANY years ago) he didnt charge for a cut, he charged a finders fee . . . . . .🤔🙄 😂

If you're up the Northern Beaches way, grab a bit of cabbage off just about any of the rock ledges, that can work in the estuary too. It won't last as well as string does though and I believe some headlands (Long Reef?) may be no-take so check that too. Cheers, stu.

Congrats on the PB!

Oh . . it's addictive alright . . . I was introduced as a young teenager . . . and it lay dormant for many years, only to come back again as a 50yo... 😂 and yes being secretive about bait locations is DEFINITELY a thing . . . I fish semi regularly with some mates and they always bring the bait . . . I ask where they get it, so I can make the trip and save them the bother sometimes . . I ALWAYS get told .. . nah it's alright it's close to home . . . . its been about 8 years I been fishing with these guys . . . maybe in a few more years I'll be worthy. 😅 😂

I've seen a few posts on various FB sites about growing your own greenweed, both string and cabbage, most seem to be in an old fish tank in part morning sun. Fed with aquarium plant food, I think . . . Some use aerators, some don't. I'll check for a post this arvo and provide an update, as I have no access to FB at work. Oh and apparently top up with rain water, or aged tap water, when water level drops due to evaporation, otherwise it becomes to salty.

Well done Whisky!

Not even a well done Whisky??

Maaaate, wait till you get past 60 . . . . . . 🤔😒😅

It depends on the type of rock . . . Sometimes the best thing are simple Dunlop volleys or similar, there is no single ideal solution for every ledge.

If you're fishing Sydney, definitely get some cleats. Any low lying ledges are going to be slippery and cleats (of any type) will give you the grip to stop you going arse over. Cleats are NOT the best option on rock harder than Sydney sandstone.

The Rock Fishing Information/training sessions and Life Jacket give away was initiated by Randwick City Council in 2017. They were also the first to mandate the wearing of life jackets. This was done in response to the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney having the highest number rock fisher fatalities and they carried out surveys of rockfishers in 2013 and 2017 prior to mandating lifejackets. Here is link to the survey results Rock fishing - Randwick City Council (nsw.gov.au) I attended the first session helped and assisted in following session. stu.

One school of thought is that post spawning Luds look for more protein and thus take worms, nippers, etc. They are primarily weed eaters, however mates have told me cabbage and string with ‘bugs’ will go better than no ‘bugs’. stu.

Well done LF! You don’t need the ‘traditional gear’ to get a feed of luds. 👍👏 A snag looks different to a down as the float kinda slowly leans to side and continues to sink on that arc. A ‘proper’ bite the float will go straighter down . cheers, Stu.

Fish and crab sanga’s for dinner? Go you good thing! 👍 Get amongst it while the missus is away!!

Fixed it for you Frank. 😉 🙂

A couple of questions . .. . What sort of area are you looking at and why are you wanting to take the paint off? Do you know if an undercoat/primer was used?

Sounds like a great way to spend an arvo! I'm a ginger beer fan too. 👍 My staple is Brookvale Union . . . its on tap at our local RSL.

Well done LF! Good that both you and your mate enjoyed a Luderick tussle. 👍 👏

Some good advice from wazza and Duffy! Remember to balance your float if using one. Good luck LF!

Pretty sure I read this also, they are ‘needing’ the protein pre/post spawning.

Plenty of time the ice bricks I take with me come home melted and lonely, so sadly I can relate . . . .

OMG, I’m having such great pub concert flashbacks! Thanks everyone!

WOW, I have no words! You’re a great bloke to still take him out!!!
