  1. So i am currently sitting in a motel in bundaberg waiting for the high tide ebb. Sorry i havent been around for a while i have been so busy after buying my own business that i have barely had time to scratch myself let alone fish much. Right now though i have a day off in a cracker part of the country so i an taking advantage of it.

    I went out for a fish this morning for a couple of fish. I fished Burnett heads for a pidgeon pair of fingermark bream on a mullet flavored squidgee. They both came in at 36cm but unfortunately i didn't have my phone with me for photos... I went back to the bridge after an earlier unsuccessful effort for no luck on the squidgees so i threw on old faithful (mullet flavoured waxwing) and managed a 45cm estuary cod (another fish to add to its collection). It was a cracker of a fight, it was coming in ok and then it found perhaps the only snag in the river. I got myself into the water and navigated myself around the pylon and after finding a small patch of quick mud and being stuck for a mo i managed to get myself around the other side for a change of angle. Thankfully after letting my line slack and changing the angle i managed to pull it out of the snag and land it up onto the bank. So i am pretty happy to add 2 more species to my list.

    I will be going back out very soon to try to add a barra and mangrove jack also.

    Here is a pic of the cod.

  2. Happy birthday to the best forum in the world be it about fishing or anything else. I love it here and will for years to come I am sure. I haven't been on much due to work but you will never get rid of me until someone feeds me too the fishies. Keep up the great work admin, you all do an awesome job that most of us active participants appreciate more than words can express. Here's to another 10 eh?

  3. Thanks to Donna, Stewy, Stevo, and Fiona for putting on such a great event, it truly was a great experience to be a part of. I will definitely be backing up again for next year. Thanks also to Scratchie for dragging his boat out and getting me into some fish after Diesel couldn't make it. It was great to meet everyone and have a blast among some great company. Good on the young folk for taking out the weekend, you all did a great job. See everyone next year. :)

  4. First of all I would like to thank Gerry for the opportunity to go out on his boat and have a crack at my first fin. I would also like to thank Scratchie for the invite. All of you guys were a pleasure to fish with and I look forward to having another go again sometime to have a crack at one on the end of my line. It was a gray day out and I loved every minute. You all made me a very happy stalker.

    Here is another photo of the fin with yours truly. Twas a cracker of a fish.

  5. What a great event that was

    BIG thanks to all how organised the event and those who made it possible

    I was able to get my first hair tail (the winning fish) and thefisherman6784 getting two and we lost it least ten because of our inexperience but swordie gave us some great tips and we ended up with 3 and trout stalker gave us his fish thanks mate

    I will definitely be back next year to win again

    Cheers sydneyfisher12

    You're welcome buddy, congrats to you boys, you both put up a great effort and it was a pleasure to meet you both. Enjoy the fish.

  6. Royce is right, I have heard of this before also. There are a bunch of dull minded individuals who think it is a good idea to release Barramundi into the harbour thinking they are setting them free however all they manage to do is put them to death in the most inhumane way possible... By slowly killing them with colder water than they can tolerate. At least if they were eaten their deaths would have been quick and for a purpose.

  7. Score!!! I still don't have my first boat and I am 36. I would have loved to have come across this. Well done mate on a thorough recycle job and I hope you have lots of fun in it.

  8. Really close. ;)

    It is a Suzuki tank, it is a 500, but not a Yami engine.

    I looks pretty awesome though huh? There are a few custom features which add some subtle kickassness.

    It is a Suzuki GS 500 base. Just stripped down and a few nice features added for texture.

  9. As you may have guessed by the title... I have a new toy. It isn't really fishing related but I am pretty stoked to have it. After growing up on dirt bikes I thought it was time for a change. I bought myself a road bike. I didn't really want a cruiser, I wanted something a bit more sporty but that said I didn't really want something you see every day. I have a bit of a penchant for the mods and their work they did with scooters and things that stand out so I went and bought myself a nice old cafe racer.

    I present to you all.... Short black.

  10. Mate with that gear you would have a good go at a marlin, it will be no hassle for tuna and kings... Granted you will always get bricked occasionally on all gear by a monster king/tuna. Personally id make it a bit smaller reel like a 10000 or 14000 just for good fun on a metre plus sized king instead of just nose dragging it. Also when you are onto smaller specimens it will be more fun.

    Each to their own though, others will disagree and say bigger is best but I like it that way.
