" Now this is exactly what i mean when i say its a magical place even if the fish are hard going.. its not about catching them big fish, its about enjoying the experience that the place has to offer, and everything else that comes with it.. you just cannot get this stuff locally in Melbourne " Well ...

Big Bull Mullet (Sea Mullet) can sometimes be the most frustrating fish to catch. At one spot I go to they often hang out in shoals of 30 or 40 fish at a time but they steadfastly refuse a bait of any kind. Early this evening one finally broke ranks and took a tiny piece of bread on a number 16 hook...

Nicely Done mate. How did you cope with the fires? We had some anxious moments but all was well. Had to spend one night hosing down the house as we were under ember attack but a wind change about 4 a.m. turned a really big fire away from us.

China should pay and pay dearly.

Here in Orbost, about 50 or so k's further east from Lakes Entrance, it's a ghost town. Many shops were closed after the bushfires and now, even more are closed. I doubt many of them will ever re-open. The caravan park is deserted, the motels are empty, the pubs are shut. A large part of the populat...
