zmk1962 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Hey @mrsswordfisherman Donna… I was having another read of all the great plans and it occurred to me that the title was “After the Pandemic - where will you fish first” ….. I really hope you meant to say “After the lockdown -…..“ The pandemic will be around for some time sadly …. I’m confident to make it to end of lockdown without a 🎣 but not so much to end of pandemic. ☹️ cheers Zoran 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volitan Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I have two offshore charter trips booked for November, chasing kingfish. These are both replacements for trips I had booked in August and early September - both cancelled of course. I’m hoping November will be on - maybe only for the vaccinated or with reduced numbers or mask restrictions applying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonD Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Was meant to be heading to Vanderlin island on the 20th of this month. Haven't managed a trip away for a few years due to fires and border restrictions but hope to get a Wooli or Lady Musgrave trip in when things open back up. Im a bit hesitant on the run offshore to Musgrave with the little boat given the appalling conditions Ive returned in each trip in the past but still willing to give it a crack!!!

Maybe title “ In between lockdowns. - where will you fish first?” Noooooooooo Zoran noooooooooo 🤣🤣 Reading everyone’s plans has shown us just how much a part of life fishing really is. I am really looking forward to the fishing reports. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo_jono Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 At the start of lockdown I gave my boat a big birthday.. New F70 Tiller steer, Custom underfloor tanks and rearrange the floor space to suit my swag better. First trip will be the Hawkes, go through the run in procedure. Then fishing the Hawkesbury, Anywhere from Dads corner out to pittwater and the reefs.. November hoping to scoot upto Ballina and fish our way back down the coast at various stops! Can't wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsswordfisherman Posted October 6, 2021 Author Share Posted October 6, 2021 Raiders the time is almost here when restrictions are lifted and we can fish again! Every day next week (out to Wed) is bad weather in Sydney, rainy and crappy and then the water will be dirty 🤬 Patience is needed What are your plans now raiders? Thanks for being model citizens of our community and we will soon have plenty of fishing reports to read 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHorse Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) Sadly @mrsswordfisherman i think us in the hunter might have another week if our numbers continue to go up. Sydney's coming down with its numbers while we are going up. But who are we to complain, the people who lived in sydney have been in lockdown of over 2 months now (i think) but for now let's stay hopeful!🤞 Can't wait for more reports to come out of sydney Edited October 6, 2021 by BigHorse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Ranger Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I’m hoping to get my boat wet in the Hacking to start with then catch up with Derek for some Kingies. My youngest son in Uni wants to catch kingies this year so that will be our focus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burger Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Have I missed where they are saying the LGA restrictions will be lifted??? I can see a bunch of freedoms around number of ppl in your home, number of ppl exercising etc . . . But nothing mentioned about lifting LGA restrictions. Hoping that will actually get announced, as at the moment I'm 'assuming' it will be the case . . . and I hate assuming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Central Coast still in lockdown till when ever. Waiting, waiting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Hornet Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I'm planning a trip up to Culburra (still within my LGA) to have a fish with a mate that I used to chase jewfish with and we haven't fished together for about 30 years. If there's one positive with social media, its that it can help put you in touch with old friends. I don't care what species we go for, as long as I don't have to wear bloody mask!! Hate those things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay at home orders will look a little different from Monday. It’s close, dare to dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big Neil Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 All quiet on the S/W front, fishing wise, at least. The car will be serviced, Dr's appointments completed for a while and I'll be raring to resume some projects which I have started. HOWEVER, I'm confused by information provided. I want to arrange a trip to MNC but can't manage the trip in one go, I will have to overnight somewhere. Not sure I want to stay somewhere where there are high numbers of cases. Am I even allowed to go to MNC for several consecutive days? I am fully vaccinated. What about Sydney, am I able to travel to Sydney and are there restrictions on which suburbs I can visit/stay at? If anyone can clarify these questions for me, it would be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to getting back into fishing again, prior to December, when I can be found on the Murrumbidgee River...parts unknown. bn Projects underway, to be resumed... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsswordfisherman Posted October 7, 2021 Author Share Posted October 7, 2021 I am locking this thread because it has turned into interpretations of the rules and restrictions. The NSW health website is the single source of truth. https://www.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/easing-covid-19-restrictions/70-percent Check this website and you will find a number to call. When anything changes that involves recreational/exercise a link will be posted in the main thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
