Re: Sharks in PPB

They've always been there it’s just that we are looking for them this time of year now. I saw a decent Bronzie in the shallows while spearfishing off Olivers Point one day. It took off in the blink of an eye! Beautiful looking shark with the sun lighting up its body. There have been a few deaths in ...

Anniversary Sarsfield Bushrires.

It was this day last year when dreadful fires roared through our sleepy hamlet of Sarsfield. 49% of homes there were lost and fire affected 79% of the Sarsfield landscape. We were lucky not to lose our main house, though it was badly damaged and took 9 months to repair, but we could live in it thank...

Re: Merry X-mas and a Happy New Year

Seasons greetings and best wishes to you all and may next year be a better year than this one was.

Santa came early to me, in fact I had to go in and pick my present up! It wouldn’t fit down the chimney....a new (used) car!
Am I a lucky boy or what?

Flathead Tip.

Most of you probably already know this but for those that don’t it may be useful. If you’ve ever been jagged by the spikes on the gills of a Flathead you will recall how painful it is. Simply wiping some of the slime on the fish’s back on the wound almost immediately removes all the pain. My father ...

Interesting Yak Fisher Vids

I’ve been watching EliasFishing videos for some time now and thoroughly enjoying them. He’s a Yank based in Northern Carolina I think and catching some ripper fish from his kayak both inshore and offshore! Some of his under bridge fishing clips are amazing and he seems to have a lot of success fishi...

Re: Slight Tummy Ache

I have been MIA for a few days. I thought I was acquiring a UTI. Much stomach pain. Went to the doc's and he said I was retaining. If my bladder burst I was kaput. He sent me off to the emergency department. After blood tests etc in ED they couldn't find a bladder problem at all. A CT scan revealed...

Re: Windy

It was probably stronger here than I remember experiencing before! I can see some big branches down from the house and must take a look around the boundaries later hoping there is nothing down on a fence. We have many hundreds of compromise trees here after the fire.
