Some bloody irresponsible posting going on here.

A PFD is a good start but in case you haven’t noticed sand is abrasive and anyone taking a tumble in the surf is liable to receive a nasty graze which can then get infected. You really should be wrapping yourself head to toe in bubble wrap to prevent this, not only will it protect ageing cuts and grazes you’ll also be more buoyant in the event you get washed out to sea.

Think about it, our health system is already under stress and you don’t want to be needlessly taking up the time of health professionals because you didn’t take a simple precaution.

Seriously though, if you’re looking for a land based option it’s a good night to grab a kayak and paddle some big baits out at gunnamatta, there’s some good bronzies getting around at the moment

Believe it or not, I'm not the irresponsible dare devil, living on the very edge of the world type that rb85 makes me out to be... paddling baits out scares the **** out of me lol even during the day.

Which is why I’m suggesting something nice and easy like paddling baits out?
