Scratchie

Love your work yowie! It’s definitely tough fishing atm! Cute little cobia there! How do you cook your garfish? Cheers scratchie!!!

Not sure about the sharks but plenty of couda!

Thanks for the feedback! Glad I didn’t venture up that far! It was very quiet out there both boats and fish were missing!

Yes mate, they were everywhere sunning themselves as there was nothing there to eat them!

I’m sure a few of us have been there rick! As you said, at least you got out in the sun ? cheers scratchie!!!

Be patient Max. Very busy time of year. Pm charters only please! Cheers scratchie!!!

Rick is correct. Anchorage is about 500m to the right of this photo! To add, any of the beaches you can see from the western wall will hold good flatties this time of year! Cheers scratchie!!!

Great catch mate! Very productive area this time of year. Nippers are gun bait for those species! Well done cheers scratchie!!!

Good fish! Very satisfying catch from the sand! Well done cheers scratchie!!!

Haha. I’ve had my fair share! I’ve only had one day off in the last two weeks. The weather was too good to pass up! All the best for the year ahead!

Cheers. Yep, beats a headache! Thanks Sam. Sunrise and the only boat for miles! Thanks. Cheers rick! Happy NY to you too! We’ll meet up sometime this year! Haha ? thanks yowie! Cheers Baz It sure was! Thanks BN. It was a good decision. I’ve also decided to try giving up cigarettes. This was the first fishing trip ever that I didn’t smoke! Bigger and better things this year!

Good stuff Sam! Out with the dad, bagging out on New Year’s Day! Doesn’t get better! Good luck this year mate. Hope to catch up with you at some point! cheers scratchie!!!

G’day raiders, Decided to forego a hangover today and start the year off with an early morning fish! Hit the usual spots but the water was cold, dirty, big tides and full moon aren’t a good combination for snapper! Thought we’d give it a go anyway! Beautiful morning although it was so nice there was no drift at all I managed one snaps on sps before we thought we’d change tact and go find some kings. It took a while to find them too but I managed to get the nephew onto 2 legals just under 70 before we pulled the pin and headed for Home! A nice start to the year and all the best to you raiders this year! Cheers scratchie!!!

Good on you Sam for helping out but all I have to say is “WOW” cheers scratchie!!!

Well, if she knew what she was doing was wrong, then I’d report her too! Don’t feel bad, maybe if she released that 22cm bream she could catch a legal one in two or three months! Just my opinion cheers scratchie!!!

Awesome rah! Some quality time and the big smile said it all. Congrats cheers scratchie!!!

A big merry Xmas to you too! Nice gift, a very generous raider! Cheers scratchie!!!

Ahhh, the fruits of labour! Always makes me hungry seeing the after pics! Well done cheers scratchie!!!

Merry Xmas to all you good fishraider people! Tight lines, cheers scratchie!!!

I never take bananas on my boat or banana boat sunscreen even. Most game boats I go on don’t either! Although, it is bad luck to be superstitious! Cheers scratchie!!!

Good stuff baz! I’m dropping them out there tomorrow! cheers scratchie!!!

I know I’m a little bias Sam. Haha March is probably the best time to fish up here. All species available! Swr is certainly another spot worth looking at. I haven’t fished there first hand offshore only LB. But being the closest point to the shelf on the east coast, there’s a good variety of Pelagics to target! Cheers scratchie!!!

Awesome trip lads! Great pics except the one with Dave and his shirt off! Haha cheers scratchie!!!

If you can drive past Port Stephens then good luck to you! Has it all and in your boat if you head to seal rocks during that time your a chance of a Spanish too! More options than a Ferrari. I was at at wooli/Minnie in September. Definitely a great place to fish offshore but the bar looked dodgy at wooli even in moderate conditions and your boat, I wouldn’t even try a beach launch at Minnie. Good luck on deciding Sam! Cheers scratchie!!!

Nice work! I love a feed of whiting! Cheers scratchie!!!
