    @R93. Tick tock.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    I'm only just over a km up river from the mouth and got a kg yesty. Half of it was gutty.
    As the river drops they must pour out of the lower side creeks after a few days in the river.
    If I wasn't so desperate for a fresh feed I would have tipped it back in the river.
    You must be getting decent run bait for it to be clean that far up I would have thought.

    We do get some good runs R93 but haven't really go going yet,lot of wet weather.Often its the end of sept; before they start.
    A lift of 4kg in the trap is nice to see but not often get that, 4 or 5kg is my average per day when they're running.
    The new stand is a unknown yet but time will tell .

    It is slow here on the Hoki at the moment. Bit around before opening so that bodes for a good season.
    Bit around down south now, so I will head down soon.
    5kg lifts eh? I would be happy with 5th of that at the moment.
    Have had lifts in the 20-40 range in my time tho

    How many pints to a kg? Or how many liters?

    I watched a guy fill his 20L bucket once then a bit more in the next bucket in one go. My dad helped take the bucket to the water so it didn't rip his net pulling it out. I was in front of him with a scoop net and I got 10L and my dad shared the same net got 10L too. My best ever day with my dad I'll never forget that. When we left the guy behind us had about 42L haha

    I totally agree with that statement .

    8 pints = 1 gal ; 4 pints = 1kg

    This is the first year I've heard of people weighing it haha. Gadgetman informed me of that.

    Ahhh, those calculations lead me to believe that we dont weigh it because we don't often catch enough to make a kg!!!!

    Na. What ever blows your hair back mate. I have never heard of it measured in volume.
    Catch a pint and weigh it. Be interesting to see how close it is to 600 grams
