[cheeky]

Hey there!!
Some friends and I are thinking about going camping over easter/anzac weekend...up the coast around foster,
Does anyone have any suggestions..on a good place to camp??
Somewhere near the beach and has a good place to fish...
I would if possible like to go marlin fishing....mayb...
I dunno if i am strong enough :)

bugger foster cheeky port macquarie is much nicer ;)
there is a caravan park right next to the beach over the bridge but it may already be booked out
my best bet would be to let your fingers do the walking and ring up as foster gets very busy and often booked out ;D

[cheeky]

Well, we went to foster last camping trip and it was pretty good. We are actualy considering seal rock this time.
Basically we are a bunch of party peoples in our early 20's and wanna go camping....
to party party party ;)

backing up to fish as well! :o ;D

[cheeky]

Gee, I am almost conviniced!! :)
Port Macquarie sounds great....
Can you go Marlin Fishing up there?

[basserman]

sure can go marlin fishing but does the marlin want to play the game is another question!
we get a fairly good run of all the billiys here but only seen them in boats never seen a Landbased marlin yet

we have a very good charter boat up here 'Ocean Star' only does the bottom fishing and cost $90
we also have river cruses on the Port Ventura or could go on the Fun Boat which is vertrale a night club that floats

[cheeky]

Does the ocean Star just go out for Playin or do they garanteed you lots of fish??? ::)

[basserman]

never seen them come home with out tubs of fish! ;)
if ya have no luck with john you would always be welcome on my boat ;D

[cheeky]

What type of boat do you have? A dingy?? ;)
Where abouts do you go fishing?
What type of fish to you catch?? ???
any favorites?

[basserman]

first boat is my bass boat a 385 exploere trophy set up for bass and bream on lures and my other boat is a sf18 southwind 18 foot cuddly cab with a 115hp yamaha set up for game and outside fishing has all safty gear and outriggers so i can safly get out the the shelf and fish (troll) there all day

been mainly concentrating on my bass fishing at the moment but i also chase kingfish snapper all other reef fish as well as troll up any pelagics but i am yet to score a marlin
i hardly ever use bait but ;D
lures all the way on my boats ;D

[cheeky]

I have only tried lures a couple times, have to admit i wasn't very sucessful :-/
I like using live bait....

[basserman]

i used to bait fish and live bait untill i was shown how to use the lures the right way ;D

[cheeky]

hahah
i guess that is with anything if you are shown how to use it the correct way you can master anything

[mackmauler]

might even end up dressing a mullet in a skirt if you play your cards right ;D

[basserman]

sure is i always thought the bloke that caught fish on lure were full of it
the same are every other way to fish it looks hard untill you learn how to
blackfishing has to be the worst but once you know how to do the rig and what weed to use they are a really easy fish to catch ;D

[basserman]

plenty of mullet around here rob with all this freash!
only just getting clear water in the river at the top of the tide :)

[cheeky]

BLACK FISH ARE EASY JUST USE BREAD WITH A FLOAT

[basserman]

nah weed up here for them!
i would love to catch one on lures but the only ones i have heard of were all fluks!

[cheeky]

I c...
wrapp the hook with weed them have brad on the hook...
its the easiest way to catch em
