Hi All, Hope everyone has had a great weekend. Too short! Understand everyone's time is precious so I will TRY to keep this as short as possible. I have had my fair share of Land Fishing here in Sydney, and have always wanted to get my own boat. My real life circumstances seemed to never align, with studies, work, taking care of parents etc. Anyway, with my final professional exams coming to a close in April 2024, I would like to finally get a boat and start my learning process. I say LEARNING because as with everything new, it deserves respect, to ensure everyone is safe and things are done correctly. I have never owned a boat, only driven a side console twice and that is about it. I also had a boating license 6 years ago which I will definitely need to retake. In saying that, I wish to start LEARNING from someone if possible sooner rather than later. I am not saying I need to drive someone's boat, but to observe and listen an experienced person operate would be very beneficial. Basics such as, how to correctly load/unload a boat of the trailer, understanding wind/speed, current, drifting when fishing safely would all be things I would be interested to know. Also, how to maintain the boat, cleaning, what to watch out for, etc. I am a pretty obsessive learner so do expect QUESTIONS! PS - I live out near Schofields/Riverstone, closest boat ramp would be Windsor, but I am happy to travel in Sydney to learn. I believe all of these things will help me chose the RIGHT boat for my circumstances. Appreciate your time to read. Thanks All.

Hi All, Hope everyone has been well. I have not really had much time to post in ages but have kept up to date with some exciting posts from other members. :) I have in 10 years not once taken time of in Christmas and always worked through the shut down. In my current role, I have decided to take 4 days off in the Christmas week. In saying that, I have never been camping, and would like to experience a "friendly/beginner" camping experience with the ability to be able to fish! All night...all day...who knows... I live in Sydney, NSW. Any locations anyone can recommend where throwing in a line while camping might not completely be a waste of time? Thanks Regards, Jay

Hi Steve, nice pictures and glad you and your father had fun! Mate, I was wanting to get into beach fishing, and I was wanting to try out Manly or Coogee. However, still working on my cast and the ability to identify gutters. Would you be able to share some tips in these areas mentioned above? I usually fish estuaries. And I have been inactive for couple of years, so this is my first post after 2 years. Cheers mate.

Hey All! Hope everyone is well and catching some fish! Unfortunately, I have not been on the forums or cast a line in over 7 months due to new work responsibilities. However, I have finally stabilized my work a "bit" (don't want to jinx it) and would love to get back to the waters! To prove my committment all over again, I have decided to go some place I have never fished before, but have only heard stories! I would like to go to the Central Coast, preferably near the entrance. I have NEVER fished these waters and will be interested in land fishing! Is there any places to try? I will be using bait and lures...preferably chasing flathead, bream and the lucky jew if it has missed me as much as I have missed it! I will be most likely driving down the coming Friday, 13/04/2017 and more than happy to have company! Hopefully, I am back for good this time! Thanks All!
