It depends where you are. In NSW it's not prohibited from returning them from where you caught them from. There does seem to be a push again to release KHV again in Victoria. That being said, I'm not sure how much traction that will get after COVID.

One thing that really irks me, is that they have just legalised Bowfishing, albeit with some rules; but we all know that rules are made to be broken.

I use an RV4. It's pretty spacious. I can easily fit 2 bedchairs in. Sounds obvious, but your head will need to face the door, as it has a slight slope towards the back. Good bit of kit. I use it on wild windswept inland oceans in Oz. It's worth getting the fly for it. Not only does that prevent condensation, but also keeps it cooler in summer. The fly also adds space to store stuff at the side. Given that I'm using it in Oz, I do use the awning quite a bit. I use 2 sets of poles and spreader blocks for the awning, and have guy ropes attached to tent peg springs. The only downside the oztent is the pack down size and weight. But for what/where I fish, it's a great bit of kit.

Big Al's bait and tackle in Pennant hills (Sydney) have pyramid leads up to about 6oz. He also does trolling leads. I believe they also make their own leads.

I'm in Oz, and they can be a real pain. I wrap boilies if turtles are bad, but don't use the mesh. Found the Korda super wrap the best. They tend to slow down as the water colder too. They don't seem to be too fussed with particle, so that's another option for you to try. The other thing I've tried in the past whilst bring mullered by turtles and eels is to empty a can or 2 of dog food into the water, away from where you are fishing.

I use the Darent Valley 2.25 tc as a floater rod. It's very good, both at fishing close in and up to 60m out. Had fish to mid 30 on it, and it bends to the butt, so soft enough to use with 10lb double strength hook links.

I've have a set of Super plus for about 2 years now. I've found them good and reliable. Easy to use - the settings are easy to change. The mute function is good when setting the bobbins. A solid alarm. I've not had to change the batteries in the heads, but have once had to change the battery in the receiver once. It helps if you use good quality batteries. As to range in the receiver, I don't wander that far from my rods but it seems ok. I did find that when the receiver battery ran down the range reduced, as you would expect.

Matrix aero clips. The plastic ones allow you to do both. Just slide down the rubber o ring for free running.

Just over 63k cases identified in NSW in the last 24 hours. It's pretty rampant here in NSW.

Have a look at the TB Darent Valley 11.9ft 2.25tc rod. It's a great floater rod. I've been using it for floater fishing for a few years now, soft at the top, but power when needed down in the butt.

How old is the fishmeal in there? The fishmeal may have turned, and makes the boilies take on air. I had the same issue, and went through the ingredients, and by process of elimination put it down to older fishmeal.
