Welcome to my site devoted to fishing and boating on my local waterway, the Manning River of northern New South Wales, Australia. I will use this site to show everyone how nice an area it is that i live in, and hopefully teach you something that you didnt know. So if you have got this far you must be interested in the content so don't be afraid to look around. Also, if you live in the same area as me and have something you would like to contribute to this site, please don't be afraid to email me. See you on the Manning River.

NEWS REPORTS:
25.12.01
I took the boat out on Christmas day for
a bit of fun, didnt do any fishing. We just
cruised around for most of the day and had
a BBQ lunch. Saw some dolphins at Manning
Point which was nice.
02.11.01
Ive been mucking around with ISP's for the
last few months so i was not bothering puting
the site up. My boat has been fixed for a
few months, and is now running better than
it ever has, but i have not got out for much
fishing. Ive mostly just been cruising the
river, and checking out some new places.
18.04.01
Fished the Lansdowne River from the bank
2 Black Bream (28cm 500g, 32cm 750g)
both caught with bread bait and heavy burlying
on the run out tide.
Started fishing at around 8:30am and fished
all morning, the water was back to its normal
colour after all the rain we have had lately.
Got the first fish at around 10am after some
heavy burlying with bread, got the next fish
at around 10:30am. We had another fish take
a bait but was lost in a snag.
22.02.01
Had a quick fish from the Lansdowne boat
ramp. I used a lime green Mister Twister
rubber lure and didnt get a bite, the water
was very muddy so i didnt stick around for
very long.
16.02.01
Finaly an update. I have found out what has
been causing me so much mechanical problems,
the engine was running lean and has blown
a piston. The boat is currently out of action
and i havent been fishing for a few months,
the reason for no updates. Im hoping to have
it going again by the end of this month at
the earliest and the end of next month at
the latest.
20.09.00
Fished the Lansdowne River from my boat
4 Flathead (3 35, 1 45cm) All kept
2 Bream (Undersize) Both thrown back
1 Toadfish, thrown back
Very warm day, still no rain so the water
was very clean, unfortunately, due to more
mechanical trouble we only had a morning
of fishing, around the same area as last
week, which was mostly very slow with the
exception of 5 min when we got 3 flathead
in a row.
13.09.00
Fished the Lansdowne River from my boat
2 Flathead (35, 45cm) Both kept
4 Bream (2 27cm, 2 undersize) Undersize fish
thrown back others kept
1 Tailor (undersize) Thrown back
Very nice weather for fishing, very clean
water due to no rain for a few weeks. We
fished the area of about 2-4km's downstream
of Lansdowne Reserve. The action was pretty
fast and we kept moving around all day trying
to find the best spots.
05.08.00
Fished from my boat around the Harrington
inlet, the water was very clear and we could
see lots of good size bream and flathead
and hundreds of mullet around the Manning
Point baths, but unfortunately we could not
get them to bite. Mechanical problems with
my boat also caused us a few hassles (which
ended up with me swimming to shore with a
rope so that i could pull the boat back in,
LOL!!) so we were unable to move around much.
30.07.00
Went fishing from shore around the humpy
bridge on Harrington Rd, spent all morning
getting a few bites but was way too snagy.
After lunch we moved to south side of Crowdy
Head and fished off the rocks, caught a few
small rock species. We then moved to the
Crowdy Head harbor and fished the outside
wall, caught one small rock species and an
unidentified species of wrass. My friend
caught a few small bream inside the harbor.
