Definately a non smoker, all said in a single breath
Anyone enjoy surf / rock fishing here? I got my first Jewfish 2 weeks ago and also a bloody big shovel nose shark. Fishing in Australia is amazing.
BTW, Jewfish is real nice eating.

I fish in Port Phillip Bay, Vic it's ok normally nothing big, small snapper, Whiting and calamari. If I can I head down to Gippslands, Salmon, Gummy Shark and a much wider range of fish.
The best surf fishing I have had was at a friends place near terrigal NSW, awesome

Re: BE's not what it used to be...
I don't think it's any different than it ever has been - it definitely goes in cycles. People are nice and helpful, they then get narky and ratty, then they get the major strops and they want arguments, then someone else gets offended, others get offended on the other persons behalf, still others get offended on behalf of the first stroppy person getting moaned at, then people start reporting that they don't like the arguments, so unfortunately mods have to pop in and ask people to tone it down. The stroppy ones then get arsey about being told to tone it down, the non stroppy people feel hurt and abused and also slightly smug because they've got the others into trouble, everyone gets a cob on and decides to take their ball and go elsewhere, or decide to briefly have a life, then decide they actually like it here come back and it starts all over again. Then someone starts a thread about how it's not like it used to be and then there's lots of discussion about yes it is and no it's not. I guess it depends on where you are physically and emotionally. I honestly don't think it's any more PC than in previous years, the same stuff goes on and trolls come and go. It's all one paragraph for a reason. Really I should have omitted the commas and fullstops to get the full effect

Re: BE's not what it used to be...
I just looked on the map, you are located on a large inlet so I would imagine that the waters are pretty warm ?
Salmon round here are pests and not very good eating at all, waters too warm, mind you, they are good to catch for the fight ! I caught an electric ray a fdew months back and tghe bugger shocked my foot. They can give up to 220v ! Flatheads, bream, trevally & tailor are caught around here, caught a few red rock cod which the wife fried up & they stank and tasted awful. Apparently the spines are poison, I had no idea. If done right they are a bit like lobster so Ive been told but next time I catch em theyll go back !
Never tried live bait, unsure if its much better than fresh deads ?

Losing the commas and full-stops could have been good though!I can't actually comment on whether it is worse or better or even at all different to before as I wander round the boards like dolly daydream most of the time, dipping in here or there! I might get controversial one day .... but probably not

Re: BE's not what it used to be...
I've come on to here for the first time in over a year and no...it's still the same topics, just played out by new people. There's only so much you can trawl through the same debates and questions about 'will my sony mp3 player work in Aus' 'which suburb's best' 'can I survive on $60k a year'.
I'm going through just to see which of the 'old' people are still regular posters and to see if one person in particular is still on here, thinking they're the centre of the universe...

I also loved Puppets Who Kill, which is really stupid, sick humour.
