Have fun you lucky bugger. bn

Hope the car comes back with renewed life for your purposes Frank. I have a mate at bowls who has a mobility scooter and he loves the freedom it affords him to do all the local things without having to use his car. He too still drives the car when he has to travel a fair bit. Cheers mate, bn

I love reading posts from anglers who are adventurous, to me at least. You probably take it all in your stride heading out in forecast horrid conditions. You certainly know what you're doing in every aspect of the hunt...gathering the bait using your own brand of berley and then setting off in pursuit of the quarry. You have my respect. bn

Good to hear that you're back racing round the streets of downtown Berala Frank. Wonderful that you are now seeing life with a bit more purpose...you have a lot to offer your family and friends, not to mention the Fishraider community. I assume that you are still able to drive the car around provided you don't have to walk for miles at your destination. Headed off for a week's vacation tomorrow so let me know about the car situation please. Cheers and vroom, vroom, beeeeeeep...get out of the way. Great news Frank. bn

Great report and a day you will never forget. Always worth trying something a bit different, hungry fish are everywhere, just gotta have a bait in the water to be in with a chance. Well done. That Bream is probably about 30 years old. Top job Eaglesilk5. Cheers, bn

Great that you had a very successful day learning how to assess and take better photographs Derek. Happy Birthday and Many Happy Returns. I really like the first 2 photos which I assume are the same photo in B/W and colour. Colour wins the day for me. Keep shooting! bn

Good job she didn't tell you to go down and buy a couple of them Jon...LOL. bn

My wife and I loved cruises. We would do our own thing most of the day and catch up several times a day for coffee and meals, then seek out the entertainment in the evening. Enjoy yourselves Noel. bn

Good that you are on the road to recovery mate. Cheers, bn

Yep all good again and heading off to Perth next week. Cheers mate, bn

You certainly were a bit lucky but creativity and determination are the winners again. Top idea to make, test and use your own crafted lures Mike. Well done, keep up the good work. bn

Beautiful fins on that fish Koalaboi. Thanks for the pic. bn

Interesting info Andrew...didn't know it finished up in the Murray River. I've had some nice Cod and Carp from there (about a km upstream), and it was always a good place for a family get together so the grandkids could have a fish. Wouldn't want any of them near that new area though with its steep 4m drop into the water. Hope you're managing to get some fish for the freezer mate. bn

Lovely, eh? Probably more than one. Hope you're keeping well mate, bn

Sure would, although the banks are about 4 meters above the water and quite steep in that section. Hope you're feeling a bit better mate. bn
