Thanks very much for the offer Pickles! PM inbound!

Thanks for the warm welcome Rebel. Looking forward to meeting more members of this great forum!

Many thanks for the advice Dave. I'm located in the Hills district in Northwest Sydney. Happy to travel anywhere in the greater Sydney region.

G'day everyone, My name is Luke (34). I'm a long time reader of the forum and first time poster. I've been fishing Sydney since I was old enough to hold a rod and am always keen to make new friends and go on new fishing adventures. I've been primarily land based, but have hired a boat in Pittwater a number of times. My favourite fish to target are the ones the fight hard (Kingfish and other pelagic species), but also enjoy chasing bread and butter species, as well as catching live bait like squid, yellowtail and cuttlefish. I'm a sustainable fisherman and only keep the bare minimum and sometimes none at all - 90% of what I catch goes back into the drink. I'd like to get more experience in boating and boat fishing but I don't currently know anyone who has their own boat. if there any experienced boat fishos here who need crew for the day, I'd jump at the opportunity to learn the ropes (Launching, reloading, general boatmanship and of course - fishing from a boat!). Of course going on someone's boat is a privilege so I'd like to help in any area I can. I'm a quick learner and a hard worker and am happy to jump into the deep end to learn the ropes. I can contribute petrol, lunch for the day (Wife is a great cook) ,and of course help clean the boat and equipment after the trip. I have all of my own fishing gear and am happy to share equipment and tackle. I do plan to get my first boat within the next year or two, so i'm also looking to make new friends who would be keen to go out with me once I'm more experienced in boating as well. Happy to finally be a member of this great forum which has already given so much knowledge to me! Cheers! Luke
