I have only been able to visit my daughter and grandkids twice in the last 18 months. The last time was in January, just before she was diagnosed with a rare cancer of the appendix. I have not been over to give her or the grandkids a hug and assure them no matter what they will be ok. Two of them ar...

I didn't watch the press conference but apparently 75% of the days covid cases were linked to the construction industry so clearly something needs to be done. I guess if people don't want the mandates some sort of No Vax, No Ventilator policy might ease peoples' fears about hospitals getting overwh...

Hi everyone, Good to be on the water today with my 2 sons. Yesterday the squid out of clifton springs was going off on high tide in 2.5m of water on white jigs 3.0/3.5.... 7 in total in under a hour. We got out of barwon heads today at first light and had some major bites and runs off fresh squid ri...

Conditions we awesome, clear skies full sun at 21C, with a water temp of 13.9C, and a solid sediment 2ft visibility with the classic stron...

I have had a small leak from my hyd steering actuator. I had purchased a seal kit a while ago which comes with the spanner to undo the end. I had to use a large knuckle bar to get leverage but once cracked it was easy. I had to remove the bracket attached to the engine mount removed the nut but I co...

Headed out to Clifton Springs for the first time in the kayak today. I should point out that I’m a big fan (member) of Alan from Fishing Mad. I like his style of fishing and have enjoyed watching a fair bit of his channel which has so far been worthwhile for me. Aimed my turtlebacks at sandy patches...

It helps form a picture of a catchment and any sub-branch creeks, what species each particul...

Thanks for a cracking day on the water Nick. How good is it, that a friendly chat in a tackle shop can lead to a new fishing mate. As fishermen many of us share a common bond, and willingness to learn and share. It’s an incredible pastime, be it catching, or just time spent on the water. Sharing loc...
