RealSurf Surfers' Forum

have probably only seen various snippets over the years, but do know it's suppossed to have awesome fishing. Sight casting to sailfish with poppers sounds like a whole lotta fun if its flat!!!! plus lots of other pelagic actionn and there's bonefish supposedly on sandflats too. Never a dud trip if y...

Got to question a "story" which still claims GNS numbers are 300 to 500. That figure is from a flawed 2003 "survey". That figure is now widely accepted as poop. The methodology poor. A very conservative estimate of GNS numbers is now 1000 to 1500 and could quite possibly be many thousands. Won't sto...

If your beach or waterway is being invaded by jetski tools don't be passive, don't just bitch to ya mates, do something. As written above, snap a pic of the errant behanviour, note the rego number, note the car rego if you know where they parked. Tell the cops, send the pics to local rag. Do somethi...

Steph Gilmore's been attacked in a home invasion of her unit at Tweed Heads. Broken wrist and head injuries according to the local cops.

You think fishos here are regulated. For a taste of the future check this out:

Yep, poor old californian fishos' pocket fishing licence is 10 feet long!!!!!!

Found him, all cool.

Anyone got an address for where Simon Anderson shapes out of in Sydney, northern beaches? Wanna go see if I can talk to the great man. Cheers.

Thanks for the tips fellow humans. Living next to a servo has its advantages: They gave me a big bucket of sawdust, which is what they use. There's currently an inch covering the entire garage floor hopefully soaking up the oil. Thn onto the fun part of sweeping up, degreazing and then the hose.

Thanks for the other suggestions fellas. Hey Lessormore, scumbag suffered some nice cuts and bruises and grazing as he was being ""held down"" by my neighbour (cops told scumbag "what a pity" as he started whining). Reckon you can guess what culprit looked like? If you said shiny baggy basketball sh...

Thanks skipper, forgot about those soaking pads, had em on my old boat. Didn't lose anything (just stuff had to throw out as covered in oil or broke as he trashed garage) as my neighbour the legend chased the scumsucker down and tackled him and held him until police came. Getting a case of beer for ...

Scumbags broke into my and neighbour's garage in our apartment block on Saturday arvo, around 4pm. My neighbour caught one of the sh*theads as he was taking out a kayak and a mal from my garage, but not before they had trashed both our garages. They broke a 2 litre bottle of motor oil as they trashe...

Why did Deep die? Was probably my fave Oz mag of past few decades. Do you think there's room for Deep 2.0 now, considering way surfing here has changed even in the time since the original went to mag heaven?

Mr Nick you've mentioned a love of the ocean as motivation for your various physical activities _ surf, paddleboard, skis etc etc. Fishing ever get in your saltwater blood? If no, any particular reason?

Used to believe in the "shark body language" advice several have mentioned. Even put my feet up on the board (luckily it was less than knee high so on the old single fin mal) and let a four foot whaler mooch on close by in three feet of crystal water because he/she wasn't doing the narky, fidgety, t...

SOme environmental groups do themselves a disservice when they try to use northern hemi problems as ammo for their campaigns here. Case in point: short finned makos. They are in pretty crook shape in the Atlantic and Med etc, so these groups used that issue to demand a ban on all fishing for em in O...

Navy divers must now use a shark shield when swimming in the harbour. Yak fishos who got nudged by a big GW off Long Reef now use em and claim they've had a few do a U-turn when they came into range. When I used to gamefish it was interesting seeing the behaviours of various species as they sniffed ...

Yep Akaboo meant teenage in attitude rather than years! hey that was a solid GW you got; was it in Oz or elsewhere?

Great Whites don't bonk or give birth at Hawks Nest. It and north end of Stockton are however aggregation areas for juvenile great whites. Juvenile GWs do attack people. On the east coast at least surfers are far more likely to be attacked by juvenile GWs than big mummas; see last summer/autumn's su...
