Reliable? By reliable do you mean can reliably put you onto fish OR reliable as in won't let you die and provides a great day out.

Sometimes the fish don't always play the game so fishing and reliable in the same sentence is often deceiving. If you're after the best of both worlds I'd say Bob Morris Shoal Bay.

PS: although I did hear he got stuck on a sandbar for the first time in about 25 years and spent the night in the Howard recently. Even the best can have an off day eh.
