There is another buy back of Danish sieners and trawlers from the South East trawl sector. It is rapidly becoming cheaper to farm seafood than harvest...

Re: Differing Weather forecast

Re: What should I spool a Saragosa 8k with to target land-based snapper and gummies?
Grab a roll of whipper snipper cord from Bunnings and spool it up with that.

Then you’ll be all set.
