Ahoy Cap'n, I'd love to, but unfortunately I'm based around 10 hours south, on the Central Coast of NSW. What sort of canoe have you got? Any pictures to post here?

I'm landbased at the moment, but with a little luck, am purchasing a one-man kayak within a couple of weeks. Looking forward to getting some more water access, and giving the local oyster racks a workin'!

All the best mate, and welcome aboard.

wow there would be a nice place to fish... my canoe is over 4 m long flat back transom... seats 3, but two is best loaded with electric and deep cycle power. i dont have picks yet but there on there way. its only maybe two months old. i think its the best pruchase ive ever made!!! must be tough lure fishing from the bank. i remember the good old days...

Would you prefer fresh or salt ? and how far would you like to travel. Fresh water has Hinze dam down south, lake macdonald or nossa river in the north. Saltwater has Gold coast canals etc/ Nnerang river or many of the smaller creeks in pumistone passage to the north.

Cheers

HI Capn

Will give a hoy later in the year when I head north to see Nr 2 son (non-fisherman). I may need a day or two R&R

Capt'n i am only new to this game myself having moved from PNG late last year.

I have just bought myself a new rod & reel on the weekend & am currently looking out for a canoe.

If you ever need crew .......
