Nice report! You will get a lot more scenarios where you drop a bloody big fish and spend years wondering what the hell it was, I guess it's just part of the fun and sport
Would not even place a toe in manly lagoon with all the bacteria in that junk yard. Its full of trolleys, bags of rubbish and whatever people feel like throwing in there.
I use chicken pellets, big splashes of tuna oil, left over bait e.g. Prawns, Pilchards, Mullet, water, carcass of fish. Mix em all together, place in a berley bucket or onion bag and your sure to get some nice fish!
Mate it sounded like an epic adventure with a lot of determination involved. I just hope you didn't get a little bit hungry because i would have been dying for Maccas as soon as i hit the water!!!
Mate, head down to Clontarf beach around the pool and east end of the beach and the squid are plentiful. Around dusk the squid are in large quantities and with the use of a torch or fluorescent squid jig your sure to catch a bag full.
Close to everything in the Oxford Dictionary seems to be racist or sexist these days and people are taking offence to the stupidest things and hitting the media up with stories like the one attached below! http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/newslocal/central-coast/women-hit-out-at-austrian-schnitzelhaus-sexist-menu-advertising/news-story/5e7758b3858bbcbb0e34023796160553
