Dave, Work your way up the creek at low tide and up on the rise. Head over in behind the north shore and as the tide is covering the yabbie bank about 100 metres from the creak entrance, walk the flats - sight fishing. Big tripple tail work that bank every day. They feed on the yabbies and will...

G'day Dave, Nice report and piccies mate. A couple of observations if you don't mind? Middle Creek has been flogged by the commercial net fishermen for years/decades to the point where some would argue that are no fish worth a damn left to catch in the southern reach of it. I sort of agree...

Steve and Susie, Thank you for sharing these piccies guys. You are living in a truly beautiful part of the world

No problem my friend. :D

Yep, I reckon he needs us both up there in Carolina to open his beers and help him drink them. I could even be tempted to pass him the sand paper from time to time. :lol:

Really enjoying this thread mate. I wish there had been one like it when I did my first build.

Do you guys have the Cherry Tomatoes there? Small, about the size of a large grape but sweet as all get out. I grow them in large flower pots. Easy to grow and maintain and LOTS of tomatoes all the time. brilliant. :D

G'day Greg, and welcome to the dark side mate. :D This, for many of us is the joy of canoe or kayak fishing. Not only do we catch more fish than the stink boaters, the fight is on more equal terms and every good fish landed is well and truly earned. Bloody glad you are enjoying your pirogue...

Steve, ya done good mate. My old ticker does that to me from time to time and has brought on two heart attacks. Don't mess with your distributor mate. if in doubt, get help, regardless of the cost.

Geez Ron, a 15 pounder in fresh water. Great job mate. Very few of our fresh water species even come close to that big. Sure is an ugly bugger :D Are they any good to eat?

Yeah mate 'tis. We have a LOT of ex-pat New Zealanders or "Kiwis" as we call them, living in Oz. Many are Maori and this is their traditional way of cooking a feast. Put a buch of Kiwis, a hungi and a few acoustic guitars together and you have a party like none other. Add beer and a few Aussies...

Steve wrote, Mate, you are talking about what the new Zealand Maoris call a "hungi" or the Australian Aboriginies round here call a "Cup Murri" Bloody good way of cooking pork, mutton or beef. 8)

Re: If you have time: A NEW STOVE CHALLENGE Oh, Oh, Oh, Can I play here too? haven't done a good threadjack in a while. :P Nup, I got no new ideas, we don't even have the coleman gallon cans. What do they look like?

Instant is good enough for me. Hot, strong, very sweet and white. oh yeah, and LOTS of it. :D Not at all keen on the drip filter stuff.

G'day Chuck, I have a lil gal welding experience too mate. I don't think a galvanized tripod would pose any significant health problems. The problem with gal is the fumes emitted when the galvanizing is melted or burnt as is welding or thermal cutting. A normal wood fire would not get hot...

Chuck, That was a great read mate. There was a lot of very good information in that aticle. Thank you for posting this. :D MORE TO COME.... Chuck.

I think Keith's four stick tripod is a stroke of genius. So obvious that few would even think of it. i know, I hadn't :oops: Thanks mate, great tip. Why go to the trouble of buying and then bloody carrying a tripod when all one nees is a little para cord an a good knife. We take the knife and...

I do things pretty basic, A small dome tent, communist tarp, my beloved Trangia an a few old pots n pans and a big cooler. I like to eat fresh meat or fish when I can and when I can't, I'll eat anything i can get my hands on or around. :D

Geez Matt, How did I mis this one? Ya gonna do a 14 footer - same beam??? :P :P I like this a lot.

Geez Keith and Joey, I thought I had repliedbefore but my post must have got lost somewhere. Great trip report and piccies guys. I love those swamp trees in the water. Looks kind of mystical to me.
