Just quietly, the people flocking to stores now is exactly the opposite of what we should be doing. All these people flooding the stores when it is clear that supermarkets will still be open during lockdown; why? The people then crowd and cause chaos, potentially spreading it even more. Just wear a face covering and go during the lockdown people, it's all good. Be efficient and plan things well and it'll be fine. I'd understand shops that will be locked down such as Bottle shops even more so, but man, this is a great way to spread a virus, by cramming into tight

Are the masses that are flocking to the shops unnecessarily in blind panic realise that now is the worst time to be in places with high densities of people in terms of coming into contact with this virus? The behaviour of many people at the moment is a disgrace.

Yeah, I've got nothing to moan about Doobie, the fishing is good, the weather is generally okay and there's no virus up here in FNQ, so why would I want to leave the place and head to South Oz? I guess the answer to that is KGW, calamari and blue crabs - definitely worth the 8,000km round trip.

Yep it’s hit hard I’m in the high risk group . This time I can’t get out and fish my volunteering for jobseeker the charity has shut down so other than going to the supermarket or chemist I’m home . Managed to see mum take her to see Dad in care stand in a massive line at woollies force my mum to shop because I can’t go collect her . Had to cancel my appointment to see my GP I’m having joint issues I have gout and arthritis not sure it’s either of those but I changed it to Thursday next week . I’m waiting for the lockdown to lift and find the bream . Think my family is happy I canceled my app

Sounds like you have a pretty good life - considering

A bit over a week ago I was sitting back in Cooktown wishing that the howling onshore winds would ease when I decided that enough is enough, time to head to Smoky Bay for a couple of months. My plan was to cut down through western NSW and cross into SA via Broken Hill - I'm glad I stuffed around and didn't get that far. Hang in there people and I hope you don't have to go through the same extended lockdown as they experienced in Vic.

Yeah fair enough, it's unfortunate that all the people stockpiling for the apocalypse make it that your average Joe needs to get involved for a carton of eggs. This whole year has shown how mass hysteria in the population just stops people thinking things through.

True but last time we waited and couldn't get the basics (milk, bread, eggs and meat) - so wasn't going to risk it this time

Yeah bang for buck on special you can get a lot of the savage stuff really cheap. If you've got the gumption to ask for a bit of the price to be knocked off the savage stuff, they often will do it just to keep stock moving in my experience

Fishing Wholesale , mid coast fishing tackle , they are a glass rod , very light , with lots of balls cheers

Maybe have a look at the OKUMA flexi tipz , I like them but you may not , around $50 .

the shimano sonics at BCF are good. 7ft 2-4 kg, there is a soft plastic model and a bait model. both have good action and are light. I think they are about 70$

Looks like no fishing for a while
