Most high country rivers will work on either. Lures work well for trout most times. If the kids are a good cast lures keep them busy. If not sinker with bait or float with bait drifting. Scrub worms(most fishing shops carry them Mansfield, Bright etc, even some milk bars) are an easy bait for kids to use, just thread a few on the hook any old how and your away. Grass hoppers are also a great bait and kids love chasing them, so you double the fun. If it stays warm there will be plenty rising at dawn and dusk. I'll be packing the lures and the fly rod :-)

If not I'll put the blow up one in just in case.
Still worth trying to catch a fish or two.Originally posted by disco View PostMy kids would like to have a fish, bait or lure what is the go because I have no idea.
Also big fat worms, throw them in a big hole & relax & get ready for your I'd to buckle over!

It's all good ####, I will purchase the appropriate items.
I see the porta pottis come in different capacities, I have no idea what is appropriate for 2 people for a week. Are the Thetford Qube range OK?
I know I'm crapping on about toilets a bit but it is a very important subject and the thread title does say "ask anything here" LOL.Last edited by fido666; 31-03-2014, 05:46 PM.

That's it, ask anything.
Personally, I went on fleabay, there's a seller in Nunawading, 20ltr is a good size. $59.
I had one picked up for $50 cash.
That's where I got my cheap awning $152.50 for 2.5x3 MT.
also my cheap pool cover roller cover $130.
My cheap led light with solar panel $30
China is cheap :-) & I'm a cheapskate lol......

Go and sit on one . Don't get it to small or you will be walking all the time to empty it anyway

One thing to look at with the toilets isnthe flushing system. There seems to be two types- bellows and piston.
Depending on use, the bellow type have been known to crack/ perish causing them to not pump and are not repairable as they come in at the cheaper end of the scale.
The piston type can be repaired and are normally found on the top end models. We have the Thetford 365 which is the same height as a normal toilet with about a 20 litre waste tank on it.[B]Tasmania 2015 GTG Committee Member[/B] 2005 Prado Pilbara, Sovereign Bar, Driver & passenger weathershields, UHF TX3220, Spare wheel spaces, Lifestyle rack, Genuine front & midrow seatcovers, Genuine front & midrow rubber floor mats, ARB 47 litre fridge/freezer, Hilux washer jets, BF Goodridge A/T, Radiator protection plate, Dual battery tray and isolator, ARB 2.5m awning, Rhino heavy duty areo bars, MSA rear wheel bin, MAXTRAX
