I can just imagine " oh golly gosh how annoying"! My last decent sized Gummy "release" was accompanied by just one word LOL!

Thanks Tackleberry -shoulder issues are quite painful sad to say.

Two KGW trips during the last fortnight. Trip 1 ended up with a few small school whiting across from Nungurner. Trip 2 was saved by a 52 cm Flathead on a piece of prawn on a KGW rig. Also 2 Salmon and one very small KGW. One day!!!!! Sat evening I somehow slipped getting into my car on a gravel driv...

Deceptively too sloppy for my 4.2 m tinny early this morning so turned around and headed back to the entrance.

At present, depending on the tide, the water close to Lakes Entrance is either very or a bit dirty or fairly clean - and a lot more dirty water to come. Not that there are a lot of KGW around so far this season but is this likely to...
