It could almost be described as ridiculous. There are fish about. I know this because I keep reading about the rock & surf guys and the boaters picking up fish. As far as the spearos go, it has been slim pickings. Heard via the grapevine that the local shrimp trawlers are not even going out because their nets pick up so much muck that it becomes too expensive to drag the nets. The sea still has that ugly black appearance that in my limited experience equals lots of effort with little reward. Not too bad working hard while the conditions are poor.
I have been training really hard with the U/W hockey though. Spend 4 days a week practicing in the local pool. The State Champs are to be held in Coffs the weekend after next. Should be good fun. Our team is very rough around the edges. The guys have superb breath-holding ability but the rules rarely apply and full contact often ensues. The city softies are in for a rude awakening. Thought I would include some pictures of the beach at Korora. I am told when conditions are good, there are Jewfish, crays and abalone to be found against the headland from which the picture was taken. On the edge of the reef, one could encounter kingfish and mackerel move through the channel between the deep blinder and the small rocky island.
