Evening, Groovers, I took my 2 boys down to Lang Lang for a Saturday night gummy session, last night. High tide was at 10.07 pm and we had a very gentle breeze - clear skies and no visible moon. The 3 of us had our lines in the water an hour before the high tide. We were running pulley rigs with 7/0...

Hi Groovers, I took my boys down to Lang Lang early this morning for a gummy shark session. We got up at 3.00 am with a view to getting lines in the water by 5.00 am. According to the car, it was 24 degrees at 3.30 am in Melbourne's eastern suburbs - quite surprising for an early spring morning but ...

Hi everyone, We're going to Merimbula in January for a land-based fishing holiday. While we're there, I'd like to take my boys (11 and 15 years old) out on a reef fishing charter. I've tried researching a few of the operators up there but haven't been able to settle on one. At the risk of sounding e...

I took my two boys down there a few weeks ago and had a great day, even though we only came away with one very nice flathead (caught on a soft plastic shad). Normally, I get my boys to return the bulk of what we catch but this particular day the bite was very slow. My eldest boy spotted a few kingfi...

Hi everyone, My wife and I are taking our boys on a holiday to Merimbula next April. The pair of them are fishing mad we'll be LB fishing every day - beach and estuary. II'd like to take them out on a charter, one day, from either Merimbula or Eden (or anywhere else that's recommended). Question is,...

To be honest, I'm not a fan of the 'sponsorship' world that we now live in. My 10 year old son was very happy (and so was I) when my wife and I bought him a Richmond Football Club jumper without the sponsorship branding on it. It saved us almost $40 on the 'branded' equivalent and, as a bonus, it ha...

Got photos to prove it but haven't worked out how to post them, yet....

Hi everyone, My two boys were keen to catch some fish over the school holidays so I took them down to Lakes Entrance for a few days. We targeted Bream and fished the Tambo river and a few spots around Metung. I'm trying to teach them to fish 'light' and so we fished from the bank using 6Ib line and ...

Hi everyone, I'm giving Armadale Angling a big plug! Obviously they don't have the buying power of 'the big two' but they more than make up for it with a terrific range of stock and reasonably good prices. I have found their service and fishing knowledge to be exceptional, plus, they have a shop wit...

Hi Everyone, Because Melbourne's weather forecast for Tuesday afternoon and evening was so mild and good I thought I'd check the tide times out for the eastern side of Western Port Bay. The high tide coincided with dusk and so I took my two boys down to Lang Lang for a land-based session off the bea...
