I'm not sure. Just that this was the first time I had used these hooks, but could have been small fish or saw tail as when i would strike i would have maybe a 1-2 second fight then gone. I just thought I might have been using them wrong. Cheers Loomesy

Hi All Went for a fish from my favourite black fish spot this morning with fresh cabbage to see what was around. Fished for approx 2.5 hours with over a dozen downs but no hook up. The question i have is that I'm using new hooks. Mustard hooks that have a square profile and are made for luderick. Do these hooks perform better used like a circle hook with a longer take period and slow lift of the rod to hook the fish as i missed every single down today. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Loomesy

40 pound Murry Cod caught between Pooncaire and Menindee way back when set lines were legal. The biggest of the trip went 98cm and 75 pound. Am still looking for pics of the big fella. All fish released successfully. Cheers Loomesy

Good work Rick Ya gotta love it when a plan comes together. Cheers Loomesy

Please count me in. Sounds like a brilliant plan. I will also have room for 1 extra raider on my boat if anyone needs a ride. Pm me if interested. Cheers Loomesy

No need to get upset bessell1955, but when you push the point several times about crab measurements being too small when you are doing it wrong, then you are going to get harsh replys. The correct way to measure crabs is available online and also in all tackle stores. Cheers Loomesy

How do you measure crabs bessell1955????? Cheers Loomesy

How are you measuring the crab? Cheers Loomesy

Using the round pots Cheers Loomesy

Hi Garfield 28 Found a good patch of Flattys bout 500m west of the reef. Could not mark any bait or fish over the reef so didn't bother as to many rock cod. Cheers Loomesy

Can't comment on the Hawkesbury but myself and a mate got 11 on the weekend at Port Stephens returning two undersized and one large female. Season looks good. Used chicken legs and mullet for bait. Cheers Loomesy.

That's what my hive is Neil a flo hive. Still needs the same maintenance as a standard hive and not as productive as a regular but much easier to harvest. Cheers Loomesy

Hi Raiders Pinched a bit of honey from my bee hive today. Got almost 3.5 kg from two frames. Nothing beats fresh honey. Cheers Loomesy

I'm heading there in the morning if you want to tag along. Cheers Loomesy

It's about 5 kilometres from the mouth. Lots of undersized snapper and red rock cod Cheers Loomesy
