I knew you'd figure it out Fabian ... clearly I'm laying lines way too close to the TOP of the tide ... you reckon I'd do better when it drops eh? ...

Good to see you’re still slaying them Chris. Well done. cheers Zoran

Hmmm not so far 🤔… but I have used them to sooth the joints used to keep the lines straight 😆

Clearly amateurs ... no rod racks, no esky ... seriously 🤣

Yup. They have strange trolling setup here for sure. Still haven’t figured if it’s Yam or Merc powered tho 🫣. I’ll report back if I find out. Hiding in plain sight - if you know where to look! Not everything is frozen… quite a bit of SP here !!! Which might make somebody irate for sure 😂 SP- soft powder ! Thanks BN. I hop to be posting soon too. I wish there was a way to download and catch up on all the reports offline - I’ve got 20+hours of travel on the way back. Take care. Thanks @Burger … snow?!?! All I see is stiff water… still trying to understand all the local species and their habits… seems after hours of dashing around stiff water they all converge on local watering holes - I don’t remember much after that 🤔 But yes BC, Canada. Thanks Donna… I fear everyone would be bored 🥱… unless they are stiff water addicted? Cheers everyone! Z

Hey Raiders, Been a while since I have posted in the fishing forums. Basically I've been trying to figure out how to land something worth reporting on in all this stiff water ... any advice? Anyway ... so far I've managed to keep all my lines tight and to avoid major snags ... still hoping to land a big one tho! Be back soon ... please leave some Mahi Mahi for me ! Cheers Zoran

Nice stack of reds there. Well done. Any weights added to your rigs or just free floating? cheers Zoran

Well don’t be guys. Fresh water fish do look more odd than their salty cousins for sure. cheers Z

Excellent report and adventure Dave and Amy. Thanks for sharing. I first came to know of SHs when I lived in Singapore. Extremely aggressive fish. The locals we’re targeting them in an abandoned quarry that had filled with water and become a huge lake - some we’re even using juvenile turtles as bait 😱 as apparently the larger SHs were quite fond of them. Not sure I could ever go to that but lure fishing for them sounds great. Nevertheless I hope nobody introduces them here. cheers Zoran

3 onboard. Whole day of fresh air and entertainment on the salty water. 60l fuel. 2.7kg of flattie fillets. I’m going fishing again and again and again…. Yes I ignored the investment in the boat …. But that will give years of enjoyment and at the end if I look after it will have a residual value. Fishing is a lifestyle choice. Enjoy. cheers Zoran

I’m n addition to above also check the simple stuff- ie that you have not accidentally left the unit manually set at a depth or zoomed into a depth range. If it’s in Auto depth and you’ve lost bottom then lower frequency will give you better depth reading for sure. cheers Zoran

Well done buddy. Shows you still got it .... (must have been the other two the other day that let the team down !!!) Cheers Zoran

Forensics……evidence collector ! 🤣

PM sent

Dear Dave, you’re either worried about me or you miss me. Either way I’ll pencil you down as crew for the next outing. BUT I’m not sure you should be throwing stones mate, if you recall your last outing with me, the video evidence showed “someone was using lots of colourful language coz the fish wouldn’t stay on someone’s hooks ” … just saying ! Cheers Z

Sensational fish Chris - a Ballistic Bull to kick off the summer dollie season- way to go 🤙👍. Enjoy the feast(s). cheers Zoran

Not sure I’d rate that as disappointing for two outings… well done chaps. cheers Zoran

For those interested and to give a sense of perspective where the hot water is - I have put a purple splat where Browns Mt roughly is - ie 40km SE off Sydney. cheers Zoran

2021 lockdown(s) not much fishing for me 🫣😳😔 cheers Zoran

Nice new photo … all shiny that one … like the fish. …oh also …Nice feed mate. 👍 cheers Zoran

Looks like the test didn’t go well 🤷🏻‍♂️

I guess that ought to explain it 🤣

I think ‘aught … is Naught as in 0 … you may not be hearing the N … but it’s a phonetic “4 oh” in my vocabulary cheers Zoran

Yup… Albert fished Albert Park for an APEP ! 🤣

Fishing fun can be had anywhere anytime ... I cut my fishing teeth on mullet in Chipping Norton lakes ... memories ! Cheers Zoran
