Dave throw me a knife. I meant ..........? Get the first aid box please.

A drift across the mouth of lane Cove River. also the moorings around Luna park. Bait IMO is a personal thing but a Barra Lure Red Head white body might not go astray. Balls Head + Blues Point. PS. If you have no luck with the fishing a scoop net I am sure will land you a feed of tennis balls and foot balls etc.

I dont think I would drink the water.

I use to trade a few bream for a schooner with the barman. He had nothing better to do so brought me out a schooner. He was amazed I used no sinker. Blood worms dug further up were the prime bait. Often caught a massive eel or two around there. Actually it was a can of Coke he traded. One day nearly mistaken a snake for an eel that took a liking to my bait.

I thought those burley buckets were teasers for Marlin when trolling. Thats why we left them in the water. What did you do with the lids.

All I can say is make the time. Do what is necessary. If the weather is crap for the boat adjust. Look outside the square. As others have said .......... Clean your boat, restock your tackle box, replace old line, make up some rigs. or just go down to a local land base spot you have wanted to try for and hour. Six pack of ginger beer and a bag of hot chips. BEE HAPPY.

Good to see you found some legal size fish. Great looking whiting. YUM. Iron Cove is a interesting spot to fish. Always fish there but finding them ????. Also think about using single hooks on some of your lures.

I think it is personal taste. Not sure if there is much difference. Most major/ recognised brands all perform well. ( IMO ) Probably might depend on what style of fishing you are doing and the makeup of your rod and real. Maybe your fishing skills as well. As one poster said he do`s not like fireline. Alot of people don`t but I love it for bream + whiting sessions...... But I do agree it takes getting use to. Knots are a problem. Also wears easily and you need to replace the knot at times. Technology is changing so fast that it is hard to keep upto date on what is new and works. Not sure if you can go bye what tournament fisho`s use. Are we as fisho`s getting too technical.

If Liverpool Council is responsible They should be heavily find. But seeing they are part of the investigating team I doubt that will happen. As they have failed in the past to correct this issue nothing but a hefty find will change their attitude to the problem. I doubt the EPA will take that action as they will as always accept the reason given and move on. This was the case when it recently happened . Just talk to many of the locals in the area who did take the kids down there to play. They have been complaining for quite sometime. I hope I am wrong.

Easter not too far away. Great to see you young guys out there fishing. Your parents must be very proud of you. Hope your catches get bigger every outing.

Why not give the suburb where this dealer is. Also their work was faulty so there is a guarantee that go`s with it. I would contact the Distributor and complain to them about the work. Many distributors take a dim view on poor workmanship. It adds up to loss sales as buyers will look at other motors where service is excellent.

Great feed of Fish there. What a great brekky you will have. It is good to see MSB on the water. They are not harrasing you. If you see the idiots that are on the water at night . One of them could easily spoil your outing big time. I am always happy for them to pay me a visit. Again a great catch there and hope your lovely daughter enjoyed her self. She is a little gem.

A good ending to a bad day.. I am surprised you did not get any bites while swimming.

Great Report. good to see you are taking advantage of the weather. Also being entertained with plenty of action. Highlight of your report was the fact you named where you fished. It is always good to know you are not at just your favourite spot. As stated in previous post With good info.

Try the long work pants at the big variety stores. Around $15 made of cotton . Cheap with a couple of pockets. They are not good to work in but more suitable for fishing. Buy a bigger size to give you more room. They slip on and off easily. Bit like track pants. Same go`s with the shirts. Poor quality but great for fishing. Nothing beats a great straw hat. Look after it or buy a couple.
