at the moment there fighting for the shooters because the shooters are loosing land to shoot on like the state forests. the shooters are also loosing there rights to own firearms. tougher laws are being put on shooters all the time. shooters are also constantly under fire from the press. illegal black market guns and shootings are put apon the law abiding firearm owners that do the right thing, and people think the law abiding firearm owners that do the right thing should have there firearms taken from them, they should loose a hobby they love doing. the thing is nearly every law abiding shooter is a fisherman as well and they fight for both the sports they love to do. fisherman, just fisherman fight for themselves, then have a sook when a little piece of water is closed to fishing or the bag and size limits are increased. try being a shooter that just had all the state forests closed down, now lets close down the same amount of area to fishing. and turn the same amount of sea into NP as there is on land. then fisherman might have something to winge about but at the moment fisherman have it easy compaired to shooters. shoorters are fisherman as well and fight for all out door related activities. fisherman fight for fishing and nothing else. why dont you ask Robert Borsak and Robert Brown why they do what they do. instead of winge about it.

i went with ray last year and had the same fun you guys had this year. we couldent do the trip this year because of prior arrangements but if Ray has organised a trip for next year and needs a crew, any one that wants a great trip should put up your deposit and book a spot. me and some mates are booked in next year for a 2 weeks on the houseboat and a week reef/game fishing in cairns. we enjoyed our time that much we wanted 2 weeks on the house boat. we want to spend some time chasing sail fish on light spin gear. we are also going to give it a go a month later when the weather is a bit warmer and with a bit of luck the spanyards are fireing. Ray were the mackerel boats around like last year?

one individual fisho may not make a difference, but if you add every fisho in nsw together and add up the fish they take in a 12 month period i think you would be supprised on the amount of fish that are removed from the water. i think the new rules are justified. you only need to keep enough fish to feed the family, fresh is best i dont see the point of putting a heap in the freezer.

looks like a brown trout to me. i have caugt a lot of browns that look like that. here are 2 browns caught out of the campbells river. totally different looking fish

sad to say but the people doing the wrong thing wont care if the dam is closed they will fish it any way.

top vid. were they all caught on the cube?

nice fin. what lure did you catch it on?

i have walked around the dam to many times to count. because you cant fish the wall any more that takes away about 1/3 of the dam to fishing. to walk the whole thing takes me about 4-5 hrs but i walk past a lot of water and dont fish it. if your young bloke is fit he would have now worries walking it but i would make a day of it pack a lunch and some drinks and go for it. i fished it a couple of weeks ago and got 6 rainbows up to 5lb all on pink tassies they dident seem interested in any thing else. but i would try celtas as well as rapala minnow in trout pattern.

any one heading out to browns over the next few days? we are going to give it a go if the weather is good. lets hope so. going to do some bottom bashing followed by a troll and then a bit of cubing. lets hope the fish want to play. Jim
