Doesn't phase me, the most action my net has seen in a while is the swimming pool, i still struggle to throw it in the day, how am i going to throw it at night..... it might be slower, but i'll just stick to my flick stick for live bait for now

Agreed , you wont believe how many times iv'e caught the kreepy crawley in my pool but its a good way to practise, just remember to rinse the net off and dry... dont think chlorine is to good for the net.. as for throwing at nite i think the missus will be calling those dude's in the white coats .. ... .

I was hoping to go to Ultimate's first bash at vidal, but things to hectic at the moment, will have to wait till December, last time i fished was end Jan in bluewater bay, i found a little lost blue ray, a sandshark and then the barbel started coming out, had a pull on a whole yellow tail i slid out, but hooks wouldn't set, was a big yellowtail just short of a kilo, think it was a flat fish just mouthing the bait

How come you have not been along the mountain yet, platbank?
