G'day Zenman,
I've got a thing for LR too.
Got my one and only jew there last year.
Lots of good sharks too as you say. Then if you want to lighten up, Bream Salmon Tailor etc as you want them. But I'm happy to stick out a livey or big slab and wait and wait.
I'll get rewarded again one night. I joke that my first was a thousand hour fish. But in thinking about it, it was probably not far off. Number 2 is already a hundred hours easily. Mind you I think i've had 2 crackers lost in that time.
As far as LR carpark goes. Last night was the first time I've parked in there. I live across the street so usually just walk over. I can understand your concern though. Always younguns hanging around, and sometimes by the busload. Drove over as I was returning from catching yakkas.
Have observed some crazy stuff over the time. Clashes with police, police helicopters and lots more.
If ur worried park up on Pittwater Road. Street lights provide pretty good security and all us residents are quite on to any action.
Mind you only last week the surf club got busted into with extensive damage to premises and property including an IRB and other equipment. IRB was launched in the middle of the night and found in the water next morning.
Might see you down there one day.
