The view from my "workshop"
Nice view. The weathers a bit warmer up here - never get anything done too many distractions in a location like that and can never guarantee something will go back together properly .
Yeah it is distracting at times, there is a roof and I sit in the shade, plus the sea breeze keeps things nice and cool, it's distracting when the surfs good and there's a lot of surfers out, it's not always flat like that of course, I get a few Crays straight across the road which is good
Oops I forgot, that's a day when it's not so flat
......and for those losing springs etc,take the part off in a plastic bag.
Yeah, I guess it's like lots of things, if you have to do it is a lot different to want to do it, I only do it because it's something I like, I don't charge and only do reels for friends, it's certainly not a business or time consuming, it just kind of happened decades ago, I started mucking around modifying reels that had a few bugs in their day and it just continued on.
Yes, sure is, I have lived there all my life, my grandparents moved there sometime in the 1930s, and I have lived in Headland Parade since I was born.
Bit closer n you could cast a bait ..
Nice view
I do fish just over the road, get some nice Bream.
Yes, Whiting are very slow this year, but I get beach worms on the beach pictured, not that I am very good at catching them, but it's good fun, then fish for Whiting, usually get a decent feed, no idea what's happened to them this year, but right down the coast it's the same, Lake Illawarra usually has plenty, but Whiting and Crabs are hard work this year, too hot, too cold? Too much rain, not enough rain? who knows?
