What’s Your Fishing Resume? By that question I’m referring to your fishing background. What got you into fishing? Did you come from a fishing family or have mates who fished, or did you come to it by yourself and picked things up as you went along? I was lucky. My father fished and from a very early...

I needed to split some of my firewood stockpile today to top up the firewood supplies. I was splitting some well seasoned mahogany and had some nice bonus gifts with it in the shape of some good sized witchetty grubs. Nice big ones about the size of my thumb. Looks like a trip to find some king size...

About ten months or so ago I had the offer of a free tinny and motor from an old mate down in Melbourne, all I had to do was go and get it, about a 700km round trip for me.

Just a heads up to anyone venturing down this way. As of yesterday the Snowy River Entrance @ Marlo has sanded over and the entrance is closed. The last time this happened was at Easter this year and with the estuary levels rising to the point of inundating low lying farmland the entrance was artifi...

Thanks for peoples concern. It has been a bit hairy here for a while now. Monday was a bad day here in Orbost, blood red smoke filled skies all day and by 6pm it was already dark. At 6.30 Orbost lost power and it only came back on a little while ago. The town was surrounded by fire and those of us w...
