At least it is an outlet for you BB. Very relaxing is fishing!
With all the marine parks that are being designated here in NSW it's a wonder we are able to fish at all.............time will come I suppose.

I used to be president of a local fishing club and the thing that stopped us was public liability insurance. It got so expensive, we couldn,t afford it , so no competitions.A bit sad , really.The annual Mackerelama was good fun.Clubs have to be covered for everything , these days.

Must be plenty of fish at Edithburgh, just come from there & must be at least 20 boat trailers at the ramp. Nephew is a pro fisherman here & recons we need a good bit of rough weather as its been too calm for too long & the fish have slowed down.
