7 fish from yesteryear Dressed 75lb. Caught between Dubbo and Naromine (Macquarie River) just before a big thunder storm, the storm pushed us into open country away from trees to sit it out in the vehicles until it was over. all caught on lures Shakespeare's Big S". Black or grey colors, and they still catch fish to this day Silverfish

Hi PeterS' Moon Island is the entrance to the Swansea channel and Lake Macquarie. South of Newcastle

Here is a second attempt at posting the pictures. It shows the good and the ugly conditions at moon island.

Sorry Everyone, There where three photos to this group, Fishraiders got one. A undertaker in Pakistan got one(very impresssed he was, he said I wish I was there)The other...... well we will see.

The good and the not so good

Haven't watched a footy game for quite some time, is Grahame Eddy still playing full back. I hope Bob Fulton is not still flapping his legs about like a demented duck trying to milk a penalty. Go Melbourne

And if you wear glasses You can get slip-overs in Polaroids, if you wear prescriptions glasses, I have used a pair for the last three years top stuff. But go to a optometrist, will cost about $50.00, cheap is not always the best. Silverfish

Count me in, Away over my head, never caught a jew in my life. Caught most other things they give needles for.

Out side the North Bourke pub, caught on a boiled egg.

Hi, Dan A, I have a small solar panel I put on my boat while it is parked at home and keeps the battery charged up all the time. I brought mine at Jay Car Electronics for about $130.00 threes years ago. There would be other Raiders who would know more about solar panels it than I. Marine battery is the way to go(ask someone in the know as there are pitfalls if you buy the wrong one. Silverfish

Hi All, A big thanks for the info on Crowdy Head it will certainly make things a lot easier than just arriving there and standing around scratching ones head wondering what to do next. I think the key is plan ahead and avoid the hassles. Rgds Silverfish.

Welcome Water rat, Looking forward to your input, any thing that makes boating and fishing safe has to be a good thing. And should be a befit to all. Flat foot or flipper foot? Rgds Silverfish
