Re: Yesterday's solo trip to Forbes.
Thanks Yaj. What I'd really like to do is fish for these blighters after dark. I tried a few minutes of this and it really sharpens your senses. The baitcaster is feathered by sound as you cannot see the lure and I was pretty pleased with how I have adjusted to this type of reel. Roll on the 15th.

Sorry Vikram, missed your post above.
There is a sizeable pig and small deer population at Forbes and I have heard of crocs pulling in pigs but I have yet to see this happen.

Asif,
If you are now settled in, let's hear your accounts of life in Oz. Guns, shooting and fishing, that is.

Once in a while but nothing that cannot be resolved quickly. It happens when I forget to adjust the brake setting when casting a light lue (3/8 oz. Mepps Agila No. 4) into the wind.
People make a big deal out of it. Come to think of it, most people I fish with have more 'birdsnests' with their spinning reel than I do with the baitcaster. Try one.
