Northside northside, I wish I knew the northside better.

To be honest id more inclined to drop some prawns and pillies in Scarborough harbour than fish the bridge. That bridge seems very hit and miss and harbours (especially ones with many trawlers) will always hold bream, jacks, cod and some trevs.

My two cents anyway.

Myself: Im taking one of my best mates fishing who has only caught one fish ever (a tiny whiting at straddy) for a long session on Saturday. He has finally ended his crappy time consuming job and joined the police force! Anyway apparantly he has more hours a week off and wants to (after 10000000 stories from me) see what "this whole fishing thing" is all about.

Ill try and get him and fish on plastic and hardbody and hope the addication will grow from there.

Then I have an early morning session monday which will hopefully be good as well. Stay tuned.

You might be to young to know this one Booty, but it explains it all! One of my favourite songs!

THE NEWCASTLE SONG

Bob Hudson

Chorus:

Dont' you ever let a chance go by,

O Lord,

Don't you ever let a chance go by.

Yes, up in Newcastle they have very strange mating habits.

All the young women of Newcastle

walk down the main street

which is called Hunter Street

for reasons that will become obvious

later on in the song.

All the young men of Newcastle

drive down Hunter Street

in their hot FJ Holdens

with chrome plated grease nipples

and double reverse

overhead twin cam door handles,

sitting eight abreast in the front seat,

and they lean out of the window

and say real cool things to the sheilas

on the footpath, like 'Aah g'day'.

And every now and then, of course,

one of the young ladies thinks to herself

Ummmm

she thinks

Ummmmm.

Don't you ever let a chance go by, oh Lord

Don't you ever let a chance go by

Chorus

Anyway there was this mob of blokes

driving down Hunter Street

in the front seat of the hot FJ

with chrome plated grease nipples

and twin overhead foxtails,

and the coolest of them all,

who got to sit near the window,

was young Norm.

And they pulled up outside

the Parthenon milk bar

and standing outside

the Parthenon was this beautiful looking sheila.

Oooh! Oooh! said young Normie

who'd come top of his class in English,

Ooooh! he said.

So he leaned out of the window,

and he said real, real suave like,

he said G'day.

This nine foot tall Hell's Angel

came out of the Parthenon milk bar,

looked at Norm and said

Arr, what are ya?

Norm said What are you?

Bloke on the footpath said

D'ya want a go, do ya mate, eh?

Norm said Yeah, d'you want a go, mate?

Bloke on the footpath said

Yeah I'll have a go

Norm said

D'you know who you're picking?

The bloke on the footpath said

Nah, who am I picking?

Norm said

You find out

And all of a sudden there was a break in the traffic,

and as any young Newcastle lad knows-

when you're getting monstered

by a nine foot tall Hells Angel

and there's a break in the traffic....

Chorus

Don't you ever let a chance go by, oh Lord

Don't you ever let a chance go by

Gee Feral, I dunno how young you think Booty is, but that song gets a good old bash on my wireless, and I'm only 23... :ohmy: Great song, only problem I can't get the chorus out of my head now.

As for this weekend, work tomorrow, work Saturday and work Sunday. Hopefully get to squeeze in a fish there somewhere after work, still ticked off that I can't make it down to Clarrie Hall. :(

If you want to try for sand crabs on the northside, the Woody Point jetty could be worth a try.

When it blows from the SE the sandies get pushed in close to the point on the outgoing tide.

I was flicking hardieheads in saltwater creek on Wed, and the bloody sand crabs wouldn't leave me alone.

I crabbed there about 2 weeks ago. Good numbers, but 95% were a whisker undersized.

If you try the jetty, suggest the first couple of hours of the night time run out.
