Another year rolls around, still were kicking on strong and loving this sport, right?
Reflecting on another year enjoying the sport seems a little difficult this new year's message. What it really boils down to is some commitment issues revolving work and life (And all that jazz). Right from the start of 2012 I knew my attendance at fishing tournaments would be slim to nil this year, after rolling the dice for many years it was time for a break. Looking back I can see why I loved entering in as many as I could, and funnily enough it wasn’t always about winning either. The thing is, even though they cost you good coin to enter they forced me to fish, and think about fishing on a whole new level.
The marine safety rules in NSW were fine tuned recently to make it simpler for people to understand when the law requires them to wear a lifejacket.
One of the changes was to remove the exemption for “surf skis” as used by SLSNSW clubs which made it difficult for compliance officers to determine what was and was not a “surf ski”. All craft of this type now fall within the “canoe/kayak” requirement which means that a lifejacket is required to be worn as follows:
- When more than 100 metres from shore on enclosed waters; and
- At all times on ocean waters.
Seems like its been forever since I posted a good old trip report with a nice fish. Dont get me wrong I have had a ball over the last few months fishing from the kayak and the bank but the species results have been a little so so. After witnessing a few super implosions off the surface I decided enough was enough, its past December 1st and there is Cod about. A night session was in order and with no takers I headed out after dark in search of a Goodoo off the surface.
