  1. Plenty of roads closed up here. A lot of people have lost a lot. My house was boarder on flooding but was averted. The SES dug a trench to avoid anymore houses in our street from being flooded (2 already) But my family is safe although we are pretty much house bound! cheers scratchie!!!
  2. At least you’ve got another excuse not to go fishing Baz! 🤣🤣🤣 I dare say, the fishing will be shut down up here for the next few weeks. We’ve had two house completely flooded in our street. My house averted disaster by about an hour! Not looking forward to the next couple of days, with the forecast peaking on Saturday. Let’s hope their wrong as usual 🤔
  3. Massive deluge up here and worse to come tomorrow! Fair to say the fishing is on hold for a while!
  4. The fish have definitely shut down this week. The water up here 19.2 has turned over and very cold compared to last week. (24.4) I find when that happens suddenly they get lock jaw. But you still managed something for the table champ! With all this rain it might be a while before it fires up again! cheers scratchie!!!
  5. That’s cracking fish Bob. I’m sure there’s a few envious people especially on that set up, that’s a fair effort! Well done 👍 cheers scratchie!!!
  6. Cheers mate! Hell of a session. I’ll take that any day. Spanish Mack make the best fish burgers ever!
  7. People will do anything for drugs! He’s got a nice boat though! Might have had better luck chasing marlin! 🤣 cheers scratchie!!!
  8. Awesome work! Thanks for the report. The smiles on everyone’s face says it all. cheers scratchie!!!
  9. Great stuff Pete! Gotta love a trip that keeps you on your toes. Way better than drifting for no touch. Port Stephens is on fire lately. Glad you got amongst it! cheers scratchie!!!
  10. We were pretty stoked when it surfaced Thanks champ! Just Port Stephens turning it on!
  11. Thanks for the post @mrsswordfisherman This will give you a little background on me and also some information on safe boating from my perspective. And yes @Yowie I have used a handline and did for a number of years as a kid because that’s all I could afford. As the passion grew, so did the expenses and I wouldn’t change a single thing! cheers scratchie!!!
  12. Haha! Thanks Sam. Spanish mack burgers tonight my favourite. Thanks Gordo. I do put a lot of time and effort into catching them. Thanks Bob. Love choppy conditions for snapper. Then obviously the other fish are competing too! Makes for a good session 🤙
  13. Thanks champ! I’ve lost so many fish in the last 3 trips too. One of them was bound to be a cobia! 😩 One day 💪 Thanks Toby. 23.8 degrees on the day. Hoping this N/E doesn’t roll the water over!
  14. Awesome report Sam! Persistence is the key! Just keep researching and getting out on the water. You’ll get one tagged real soon! cheers scratchie!!!
  15. Awesome work lads! I see Shroom got the biggest fish but Stewy constantly hooking up, as always! Great vid 🤙 cheers scratchie!!!
  16. Cheers. Such a cool fish and eat so well. No worries 🤙
  17. Shady camp is an epic spot and that’s a cracking fish! I was blown away how the tide works there. On low tide the sea side looks like a baron wasteland. Thanks for the report and keep them coming. I love the NT! cheers scratchie!!!
  18. Thanks Paddy. Yes pretty unbelievable he never got bitten off but it was hooked perfectly on the corner of the jaw and he maintained constant pressure. Guess you win some sometimes. Cause over the last 3 trips gees we’ve lost some good fish! Cheers Yowie! It was the perfect crap weather for catching fish. My ideal conditions for the island and the fish turned it on! 🤙
  19. A morning to remember 🤙 Thanks mate Cracking morning! Sometimes you’ve just gotta persevere Both KC. Catching a Spanish on a plastic at Broughton Island would be a very rare club! Haha! You’d have to fight my whole family first 🤣 It was supposed to blow that this morning. I just made the decision that I’m going no matter what! The island is on fire Baz, get up there! Thanks BN
