The Key to Fishing Mosman, New South Wales, Australia
By pigeoncam and Googlehihihi on 28-Nov-21. Waypoint GC9KNBB

Good find! A bit easier than the last ones

No key or string but we did find it !!!!

We couldnt find the fishing rod in the groves of the sign but found the cache very quickly and used our own key. Very fun and good if you dont have much time.TFTC Tilly rose and dad

TFTC! Couldnt find the key but found the cache nice and quick

TFTC. Wasnt able to find the keys, so we used our own!

Happy Mothers Day did this one with mum! We used a stick as our key after looking everywhere for it. Great spot. TFTC!!!

Visited it during 28-days geotrip to Australia, N.Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji, Am.Samoa, Fr.Polynesia with Marci, Ch. Sometimes we logged as "MT" or "Jonea" or "MTCh". Thanks for showing nice caches and places. MT-Jonea from Brno city in Czechia EU. Sf

Easy cache to find and retrieve!! TFTC

Found it pretty easy with a couple minutes to find and fish altogether

I was needing one more 2.5/1 cache for a challenge I'm working on and this one popped up in my search. I was in the area today for some other caches so this became my last one before taking the bus down to the Taronga wharf, a ferry to the Quay and the train back home. I quickly spotted the cache and was able to extract it quite easily with the tweezers in my caching kit. With the log signed and everything put back as found, it was mission accomplished for the day. Many thanks for the fun hide.

Found with gak

After a few disappointments, it was good to find this one. Im not sure how the key helped but it was an easy find! TFTC!

A quick find, loved it, FP on the way, thanks.

Sehr nette Idee. Thank you.

Some arvo caching with batapus again. We started with this one then did a GHHH mystery straight after. This probably should be a mystery cache since its kind of a bit more than a single find. None the less me managed to get the container eat which we logged then replaced as found. Cool little cache, TFTC, #193

idk why it says needs maintenance its fine

Found It!Spotted the cache first and then soon found the key as well. That did the job and I soon had the cache in hand!TFTC

Une cache rapidement trouve en attendant le mariage auquel nous assistons dans la jolie glise voisine.Merci !

Had time between jobs for some fishing, didnt understand it at first. Grabbed the container using a tool from the van, thanks pigeoncam and GHHH

TFTC! Great idea for a cache!

Nice easy find smart use of key to get out the cacheTFTC

TFTC

Well we overthought this one but got there pretty quickly.
Neat idea!

First find for the day here, all good and a quick straight forward find without hint.
OCW cherryfromtheblock today and getting some steps and walking in to train for overland track in Tassie at the end of the year. Even though rain was predicted early afternoon we actually had perfect weather and couldn’t complain.

TFTC!

re glued

re gluing the magnet it fell off sorry if you couldn’t magnet it

#22591. I found the cache, and the key, but my fishing technique did not budge the cache. So I used the key to help lever the cache out (it wasn't easy, but it came out in the end). TFTC.

We were mainly concentrating on solved puzzles, but this cache was not much of a detour. The container was retrieved in not quite the manner that was intended, but end justifies the means . Thanks for something a little different and TFTC.

Thankful for a quick find after two DNFs earlier this arvo. Enjoying exploring this prestigious suburb - along way from my own humble locality! Stunningly picturesque houses set in grand gardens!!

Driving into Mosman, we noticed this one en route. Bit of a faff extracting the container, but all good. Thanks.

We stopped here for this cache as well.
The magnet is down, yet I managed to take the cache out of hiding.
Logbook is full and wet.
Thanks for the cache.

I’m back visiting from Brisbane and spent the day on the North Shore finding 16 caches plus 2 DNFs. I used one of my ToTTs to retrieve the cache as the inside magnet has become unstuck and was in the bottom of the container. Logbook is damp and fairly full. Tftc

Has seen better days. Tftc

Found with slentil,spot on hint.
Logbook is very wet and full - needs maintenance.
TFTC

Quick found.

Thanks for hiding

Out for a big day of caching on this fine Saturday with Dart16

Found with Djant and Jedi_Anakin This is my 706 Thank you pigeoncam

Having read previous logs I came armed with several TOTTs to retrieve the cache.
I parked the geomobile beside GZ and went to where I thought the cache might be hidden. I could see it. Using one of my TOTTs I was easily able to extract the cache from its hiding spot. Signed the log and replaced as found.

The magnet has become detached so is always at the bottom of the container which will not work. The hiding spot is too tight for even the scrawniest of fingers so I suggest bringing a piece of wire to help.

TFTC # 5138

Needs maintenance. Message sent to CO outlining problem.

Easy find but has to use TOTT to extract the cache as the key did not work. Cache and logbook are dry and there is no room for SWAPS or drops. SL TFTC TFTH. Replaced cache and key as found ready for the next cacher. Would have awarded a fav point if yhe key worked. Sent message to CO so hopefully they can fix it.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Quick find while waiting to for partner to visit at nearby hospital.

Let not always needed!

Gotcha! TFTC ️
Found with the Geohusband @Nosmada

Found with the geowife SamanthaRogers.TFTC

Tysm for the cache.

Found with my fav geocaching buddies more swiftly than expected. High juggle area. Unusual hide. TFTC

The magnet was on the bottom of the container and we put it back the same way. needs some maintenance. TFTC

Found:))
Took a little bit of finagling to get it since the magnetic wasn’t stuck to the cap but eventually got it out, signed the log and put back

Very much my old stamping grounds. Found easily enough but extraction was a bit troublesome as part B is no longer attached to part A, as vk2df noted. I had a stronger part B in the car and that helped enough to get a fingernail grip. Thanks pigeoncam.

We needed a couple of finds for today, to populate a single find day on our “finds by found date” matrix to total at least 3 finds. So I stopped off on my way home from work in the Mosman area for what I thought would be some quick & easy finds, which I was relying on so as to be able to get home in time to celebrate geoson#1's birthday, but it proved harder than expected with two frustrating DNFs to upset the plan. This was the 1st of 2 finds, and 2 DNFs, for the afternoon.

After a frustrating DNF at the first cache stop this one was next, and thankfully it was a nice quick find on arrival at GZ. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. Unfortunately the magnet is no longer attached to the lid of the container, so the intended method of retrieval did not work, but it was not too difficult to extract with other methods. I carefully positioned the magnet on top of the log roll when replacing, so it should work OK for the next cacher, but CO should re-glue the magnet for a proper fix. TFTC pigeoncam and Googlehihihi.

Find #5407

Dead Bird on box next to sign

Please make sure the top (silver and no sticker) side is up because thats the only side the magnet is on

Catch of the day TFTC!

Out caching with oldmorty and had to resort to an improvised TOTT to extract the cache.
TFTC pigeoncam and Googlehihihi

OCW frazeydaze, who with the use of her keys, frazeydaze soon had the cache out of its hidey hole.

TFTC from the Kayakviking!
Nice idea and just that little bit different. Lovely day to enjoy the sun while assessing the GZ. Cheers

Great name for a cache and cool idea. Lucky not to busy on the streets as rainy today.

Very cool Kanye

#8764 (1 of 3 today - including 2 Adventure Labs)

I am terribly behind in my logging. It's getting close to two months since I regularly reported on the caches I've found. YIKES!

In this time only the Adventure Labs found and my First2Finds have been written up - don't want people racing out when it's already been snaffled.
But I've been busy finally getting ready to move into our new house - now in and I'm still coming to terms with the extra room/rooms!

But I did still try to find time to cache on the days that my 2022 goal of 16 finds per caching day demanded I find something. In fact, for the most part my modus operandi has been to actually aim for 20. So far I've only failed on that a few times, and only by 1 find. Amazingly I'm on track for 19 finds per day, but somehow I expect that will eventually prove too hard as I have to travel a good distance if I want more than a cache a day.

Anyway. thanks to all the CO's who are getting short shrift from my generic logs. I hope to eventually get back to them and flesh them out, but no promises.
I've found some fun Traditionals and solved some interesting, but not impossible puzzles. And Multis and other cache types have been grabbed where possible.

After finding this one I grabbed the first two locations of an AL. I snaffled:
#8765 Clifton Gardens Jetty
#8766 Picnic Area

Good idea, found pretty quickly TFTC

Quick little fine and clever idea. Tftc

Never fished like that before. Very creative. TFTC

After an appointment at Middle Head Road I decided to do some caches in the area, including a few solved GHHH puzzles.
This was an easy find although I expected it to be a bit more fishing.
TFTC boys!

Top little hide. Good location for it and well thought out. Heading home from Clifton Gardens and we had just enough time to stop here on the way to pick up our Indian takeaway. SL TFTC Cheers… Gaztek

Fun cache that at first had us thinking in another direction.

Made a quick find of the clever contraption and fished it out.
SL TFTC

Very fun and cool hide. Had a lot of fun

TFTC pigeoncam

Nice little hide with clever extraction method. TFTC!

Nice one thank you!

Ha that was fun. Over for a quick swim at Clifton this arvo and made a find on this newbie. Little embarrassed to say it took a few minutes to work out the game with the goods provided. Got there in the end. Thanks for placing this cache P&G #1323

Some fishing finished our great day out. TFTC

Went fishing at the end of a long day out to Wiseman's Ferry. OCW Brewmaker. TFTC pigeoncam

Today is a perfect day to head for the beach with assorted small people... and waves were splished in, sandcastles built, seaweed examined, balls thrown, hats - blown off by the breeze- retrieved, and much merriment had by all. Some of the group are still cavorting.

This one, though, wanted it all.
A swim in the sea, a play with the little ones..... AND a geocache.

And so, I snuck off early, and went fishing !!!

If I'd actually read the cache description before heading off this morning, I might have saved myself the need for ingenuity.. haha.... but I'm a geocacher after all, and like all of us, can rise nobly to a challenge.

Sort of in the words of Julius Caesar: I came to GZ. I saw the hide and the problem. I sorted that and conquered.

Thank you, pigeoncam and Googlehihihi !!

Gonna give you a favourite point!!

OCW the Bebes. A quick find at Gz and soon retrieved using the supplied tools. Tftc

OCW PelDroedGwin

A fun find and something a little different.
