Cats  f ing cats.. planting stuff , crap.. stink , kills all insentive to grow , maintain and even more so pick veggies.

This new place, section 1/2 size (840sq m) of last one.. neighbours closer lots cats..
So got a small solar panel electric fence... put around the gardens about 100/ 120 mm high ... works a treat.
 Also , no cats , more birds, l far ess caterpillars , slugs snails bugs etc

Down side, cant rem the number times accidentally checking if working... and I spend lot of time in bare feet
One gets et used to it.. its not like grabbing a E fence, and current goes right thru the body.. is usually shin to foot.

Also got to keep an eye (more ear) open for the edge plants growing onto the fence wire... its a definite "tick...tick.." heard even from the other side of the garden.

I borrowed the unit to try couple yrs back, got to return it after lockdown.. its worth buying my own unit ...About $250/ 300 last time looked.

Josh Rudd is just working on this page to provide plenty of links to surfcasting and other landbased articles for anyone interested.

Managed to time full tide, sunset and calm seas together at the same time hitting the beach about 5pm tonight. New rigs with sharp hooks and breakout sinkers remembered today. This time I set up two rods and my little buddy was first hooked up but once again first fish threw the hook.

I was 0/3 from the two trips this week and wondering what i was doing wrong but sun was going down so figured there was still some good fishing to come.

Changed bait from mullet to skip jack and did the damage on this little guy. A few more baits taken but went dead about 630 so packed up. A lovely evening with some nice company. And will be back out soon now I've had success...

frighten great result. Awesome to be able to catch a few meals! Thanks for the pics too

Try going to the right about 50mtrs back from that point...it fishes well down there in a high tide...or just to the left of the stream where that large rock is.

Good work LONGROD420!

thanks fish feeder. Yep that spot was to the left of stream and rocks. I went again on Sunday without a rod and there was a fishy looking hole another 150m to the left of stream. Apparently snapper and trevs too coming from it. Will try again soon. Can't see the boat being used for a while 😕

I do like trevally. Good looking, hard fighting fish. Must be one of the easiest to fillet and the skinning trick is magic. One of the best when eaten raw, acceptable when cooked. Best not to freeze though.
