G'day Troy,
To add images, go, Create Content -> Image and where it says browse, then add the file from your home computer directory. I will place it in your thread for you. You also need to rename your file so it doesn't have the _ in it.
Thanks for sharing your report by the way, I know how you feel with having to wind up such a long way!!
Cheers,
Adam

blue juice charters
i also fished a charter out off hillarys recentley and we also travelled for 2 hours directley out to sea before our first drop. gotta say i didnt enjoy the use of such large snapper leads, im guessing around 2kg??? couldnt feel any bites and ended up with only 1 fish for the day. (as a precurser, i have owned several boats in the past and am a mad keen fisherman with all my own gear, in other words i know what im doin haha) will try again soon, maybe someone can reccomend another boat?

Regardless of boats i always
Regardless of boats i always take my own gear and rigs! Sometimes they do it cheaper if you ask too. As for good boats nebraska and apache are the best around IMO. every time ive been out with these guys lots of good fish have been caught, ill post a pic of nebreaska about 2 months ago.
Keep it tight, reeeeeeel tight!
