Bloody Nora freedom thats great that you can still walk ,my bro had a bad accident 5 years ago in brazil,hes now a parraplegic,a mad keen surfer and fisho,recons the one thing he misses most is to feel the sand between his toes.
Thats great news about the wall i read the story in the local.Not real keen on the rockhoppin anymore since my cornea transplant 2 months back,i dont have as good a depth of field anymore ,makes it dodgy to judge boulders.
well done mate top effort for the week ,there are some honkers amoungst that lot.
Cheers Rob

Great report and pics as usual John.

Good to hear about the wall. It'll be a pleasure to walk out there and not stumble in the dark over rocks and whatever! Or even in daylight for that matter.

Do you know how far out they went?

I'd love to get out to the very end Stonecold - the water looks soooo good. There'd have to be some big stuff hanging around there on a regular basis. But with two artificial knees I can't risk the mountain goat stuff I used to do in search of the big guys. I'm limited to not much past the steel post these days, but that tends to produce for me most times, and I'm happy to be able to walk and fish again after a few years where I was almost a cripple.

The biggest Jewies I have seen caught down there have all come from inside the wall near the steel pole - plenty of nice fish there and now you won't have to break ankle to have a go. Nice work Freeedom - sounds like the weather did not help you. I am predicting that the Tailor will be thick by the next moon

I hope you're right MM. I'm overseas from today for about a month so I'll miss some good action I'm sure, but I'm hoping to get down there for a week around the end of June although I've a few family functions around then that will make it rather tight. If not July for sure - the luderick should be going really strong by then as well

Yeah MM, full moon in June used to be the peak here for tailor too.
Nowadays it isn't so stable; last two years our best tailor were in Feb.....
You blokes getting salmon up there yet?
Thick as down here, worst I've ever seen for this early in winter.
I hate the smelly bu$$ers!
Did manage a couple of reasonable greenbacks and a small schoolie (3kg) last night though and there was quite a good tailor bite for a little while so thankfull for some relief from the vermin, previous to this my last 6-7 fish have all been salmon to 3.5kg.
Cheers!
