Scratchie

Hi mark, the local tackle shop will be able to provide the bait. Will pm! Bait- easiest place is the n/w corner of cabbage tree island on the way to Broughton. You'll find schools of bait up there though! Just burley up! Cheers scratchie!!!

Ouch Rick! At least you picked up a few reds! Yeah the sharks have been a problem of late especially live baiting! Small hammers, bronzies etc. can't wait to get out there! Cheers scratchie!!!

That's a pretty poor statement. There are lots of raiders willing to help on various issues! But yes, it is a fishing website first and foremost. As you can see, if you give people time they will respond. Imo, not that you've mentioned your type of vechile if, it is an SUV or 4wd I'd suggest "cooper tyres". Should be available at any good retailer! Cheers scratchie!!!

Period!

Nice feed of dollies there! Still waiting for them to grow up here! Cheers scratchie!!!

That's gold yani. So if your coldest is -31c and our hottest place yesterday was 51c that's the difference of 82c. Talk about extreme! Your fishfinder looks great dude!

Awesome jani. We all have days where we don't catch fish! Im confused where I would like to be right now, at your place or mine??? Bloody hot here and bloody cold there cheers scratchie!!!

I'd start at the lighthouse in 40f and look st the water from there! Any reports I get ill put on this thread. I might be out Tuesday if I get the chance! Haven't done much fishing of late so all the texts I get are killing me!

I was out yesterday and all zeros. Was only a short 3hr session just pulling lures. There was a lot of boats at the vee but didn't see any action. We started at the lighthouse and worked north but the good water was south. A lot more current lines and better water south. A mate went today and did same as we did yesterday! Managed to raise two but no convert. He also lost a big dolly at the fish traps east of big island! I seen a lot of game boats coming from the south this arvo! A mate landed one at the "tank" mark 3 days ago! Hope that helps!

An unlucky first post mate but welcome to fishraider! All I can say is, safety first, fish second! Cheers scratchie!!!

Jon, your photography is outstanding! You truly incapatulate the moment that needs to be photographed!!! Cheers scratchie!!!

Yes, we have the billfish shoot out followed by the inter club over the next 3 weeks! A lot of nice boating real estate on show this month!

That's a good fish! Always nice to see a good slab of silver come up. Well done cheers scratchie!!!

Yes Jon, our site sponsor reef magic! Damo and mike know the area well and are up here for a while! Cheers scratchie!!!

Great report mate and glad you got a feed. A bonus for all your hard work! Cheers scratchie!!!

Agree completely! Well done on landing your first bass. Although it may be on the small side, you caught one! Now just wait until you hook a decent one! They can go like clappers! Good on you wellzy for taking the time to help a fellow raider! Cheers scratchie!!!

Nice Krispy! You certainly have a productive spot on the kings. You have obviously done your research on what it takes to get them! Well done Cheers scratchie!!!

Wise move! And I disagree with your post! I do not think they we are part of the problem if we choose to say nothing. We are not the law! Your comparison to a fire is also a false analogy. Someone keeping an undersized or illegal fish is not a life threatening situation as fire! Just saying! cheers scratchie!!!

Happy birthday BigNeil!!!

Place a call to fisheries. There a number on this site somewhere! Cheers scratchie!!!

Firstly, welcome to fishraider and a great first up report. I agree totally with kiwicraig. I don't rate trevally as a table fish, but after hearing a lot of raiders eating it sashimi. I tried it and beautiful! Add some pickles ginger with it too! cheers scratchie!!!

It's called a sweep!

That's a shame Steve. Lots of blacks caught up here today! I was sick of receiving texts so I turned my phone off!
