  1. Great report & good on you for working hard to pass on the kingy addiction to your mates 😎
  2. Well done on beating those pesky divers to the honey hole & almost filling up the built in esky / fish well before they arrived. Sounds like the yakkas were almost jumping into the boat 😎 Nice work on removing the leg jewellery (ouch) hopefully it heals well & doesn’t leave to much of a scare for future stories As always great report & photos 👍
  3. Coming together nicely 😎, painting it was a top idea from your wife 👍 A suggestion that might help with overhanging branches etc is if you used the top mount of the rod holder & mounted it to the base of the crate & angled it back slightly towards the rack supports with bracing. The two squares in the rod holder look like 50mm pvc could fit through & could be mounted to the cross bar for added bracing & extra rod/net storage, thin foam inserts could protect rods etc from bumps/damage & from sliding out
  4. If I’m fishing land based which is quite frequent these days running the hook once or twice across sandstone, rock or even concrete is usually enough to sharpen them up enough to pass the finger nail test unless of course if the tip has broken off
  5. Still looks like a great time away & some good fish as well. The tusk fish aren’t bad on the chew & don’t the golden trevally go hard as well as the permit I believe, beautiful colours on the diamond trev. 👍😎 Did you stay onboard the house boat
  6. Great to see that you’ve taken the plunge into bike fishing as you’ve great access to both sides of the river with the old rail bridge at your doorstep & endless kilometres of paths to explore As @XD351 did I used my bike to access Lanecove & parts of parra river using a shoulder bag or pack pack, rod tied or occy strapped to the top cross bar & either held or tied the landing net to the seat pole Looking at your bike you could possibly fix one or two pvc pipes around 40 to 50mm diameter for the rods on a slight angle from the forks back along the cross bar to your seat pole not to high of course, no need to put your block & tackle in danger if a sudden safety stop is needed 😆
  7. You’ve definitely confirmed it for me I do not want to be related to you, I can only imagine how you test your anchor prongs out 😂
  8. Great report Albert & congrats on knocking off a new species as well as working out the area & cracking the code, even getting cold feet to salvage the tassie. Hope you get to upgrade your PB while your still there 😎👍👍
  9. Saw my neighbour taking a photo on her veranda one afternoon thought I’d have a look a few down by the water some local wild life on different days & locations FullSizeRender.mov Above is a video of a lookout only a few locals know of with some dolphins Below is a video of a seal feeding on a school of salmon IMG_0564.MOV This morning with the large surf
  10. I’ve changed my mind I don’t want to be part of your family, I’d hate to know what you’d do to your son Inlaw if that’s how you treat your son 😂
  11. 61 crusher

    Where to sell?

    Can I be your son in law, I’ll even show you how to get a fish on your hook😄🤣
  12. Great report & boat, love the parking spot for the boat, looks like you could get livies there at night or early morning
  13. Great photos & report, congrats on the firsts, the mixed bag & those pearlies are next level, one of my favourites to eat
  14. Well done on another great session Bob, I’m curious have you fished without bananas lately & do you do as well without them onboard 😄
  15. Another nice quick flick session you’re definitely making the most of small windows of opportunity & getting rewarded for your efforts Makes one wonder if the line twist is a combination of spiralling during a cast & the manufacturing process When I used to get line twist in mono from casting, memory in the line or someone had incorrectly spooled we’d feed most of the line with nothing on the end out the back of a moving boat & give it a few minutes before winding back in. In your case LF a quick ferry ride 😁
  16. Nice weekend, photos & weather for the family getaway. Even though it can get pretty chaotic tending to all the issues fishing with little newbys the rewards & memories are so worth it 👍
  17. From the mid 70’s through to mid 2000 I used to eat & share most of my legal captures east of the Gladesville bridge & Lanecove river & occasionally from as far up as wharf road. In those days the trawlers dragged the bottom & stripped it of weed & structure & stirred up the bottom, the prawns & fish were sold & eaten from Sydney fish markets, the trawler operator probably ate the prawns & their bycatch maybe 4 to 7 days a week & ended up suffering from dioxin issues. Back in the 70’s to late 90’s when no one was aware of the pollution & what the industry’s on the rivers were dumping in the system it wasn’t uncommon at low tide to have a stench wafting around & if you were in a car full of people crossing one of the bridges the standard comment was who farted 💩 I stopped keeping bream unless they were silver & had just come in from the ocean & always sniffed them as quite often they’d have a turps or metho smell to them. A friend of mine still to this day occasionally eats flatties & the odd jewfish caught just east of the punt. When I’ve told people I used to eat the fish, I’d twitch my head & say “but I’m still alright & have been known to glow in the dark “ 😆🤪 Please take this as only my observations & be cautious & safe for you & your loved ones 🙏
  18. Great idea & thanks for posting, looking at it I was thinking to simplify & keeping it more streamlined one could glue or stitch the two ends together &/or punch an eyelet through the join
  19. According to the legend it’s possible he might walk bow legged because of the size of his coconuts 😆
  20. Some canals around the parramatta river putney, fivedock, haberfield, burns bay the one at meadow bank park has a golf course up stream If you can travel there is still weed & cabbage growing in rock pools & on the ocean rocks
  21. Well done on the flatties & grabbing the opportunity for a quick flick fix When I used to live in West Ryde I had to get rid of the rod in my vehicle because it got me in trouble with work & my wife
  22. Well done on a great bag of reds Bob & co 👍 I might have to add some of your secret bait to my next lot of burley or have it on standby if things get a bit slow 😄
  23. Nice mixed bag again 👍 & the jewies sure give up a great fight at that size on the lighter gear, of a couple I’ve caught around that size on silly string one managed a half hearted tail lift & the others were well & truly spent, out of curiosity Dave are you using floater rigs or sinker & trace
  24. Nice mixed bag you & the guy’s got Bob & lots of bent rods from the kingies. Peter & Zoran look like they had a great day, plenty of meals in that lot 👍
  25. Still have them Zoran. They were just hiding away. You could try one of those kangaroo pouches that hold coins if you know what I mean & tuck one of those hand warmers in for good measure 😌
