Scratchie

That’s a shame Frank. I’m sure you enjoyed the few hours on the water though! 👍 cheers scratchie!!!

Intel from today. Plenty of slimies between cabbage and the island so they heading that way. Water temp was 24deg

All I can say is “good luck”. I fished it last Friday and still couldn’t find the buggers. Found a solid patch of kings though. We caught about 20. Mostly rats but a few keepers up to 75cm. The slimies are starting to return so hopefully the fish come with it! Let me know how you go! cheers scratchie!!!

Good on ya Dave and BN. I love seeing fishraiders getting together and having a great trip! Well done lads! cheers scratchie!!!

Hey Vara, Its a beautiful place to visit but the fishing has been a bit slow of late! The bay has started to see some good flatties turn up in the lower half of the bay. And a few Jew caught around the soldiers point area. Tomorrow looks good to fish but the wind from Wednesday to Friday looks a bit challenging. Offshore, most of the fish have been caught on the deeper reefs between 30-60m. The bait is starting to show up so there should be a few fish turning up with it. Hope that helps, Cheers scratchie!!!

Happy Days alright! That’s a great haul. Always nice to be out there when the fish are biting! cheers scratchie!!!

Wow how times have changed! Or is it just the revolution of new gear and equipment? But one thing is for sure, the old methods still work! Not so much in 10m of water! 🤔

Well if your struggling Yowie, then everyone will be. I haven’t even bothered fishing of late except a session with the kids in the bay that yielded a feed of trumpeter and a few flatty! Gotta pick up soon! cheers scratchie!!!

Aww mate! It must have been a big relief to finally get up there. Looks like a fantastic trip and plenty of fish caught. A totally different fishing environment up there. Love it!!! cheers scratchie!!!

Awesome report Craig! What a week away with the family. How nice is Boambee creek to just park up and fish lures! 👍👍 cheers scratchie!!!

Haha, the title sucked me in there JonD. 🤣🤣 I didn’t read the “NOT” part and I was thinking firstly, where the bloody hell did you find the snapper up here 🤔 and secondly, why didn’t you let me know your about! 🤣🤣 Well done on finding some. They are fairly scarce at the moment. But find the bait, find the fish! Glad you finally found a feed of snapper though! cheers scratchie!!!

It was a decoy! I took swordy to all the shit spots 🤣🤣🤣

Haha! Agree! Hmmm 🤔 got you your first, then pb, then a few more to add!!!

Good post champ! The fishing has been poor but the diving spectacular! I wouldn’t dare jump in knowing what I’ve caught in that area! 🤣🤣 cheers scratchie!!!

Mr Consistency! Great haul yet again yowie 💪💪 cheers scratchie!!!

Both boat and trailer look like a smick unit! Nice Frank! 👍 cheers scratchie!!!

Rip champion! 🎣🎣🎣

Yeah mate, it’s a blind shark! Notorious in this area.

Awww, great write up Donna. It was so good to see you and Stewy as it has been way to long! Time always seems to slip away and looking at some of those photos, so does age! (Except for Stewy who’s still 16 lol 😝) You both really seem to be enjoying retirement and travelling with your awesome caravan has inspired Jody and I for our latter years. Hopefully, things will return to normal soon and we can have that “meet up” and you’ll be back up this way before you know it! cheers scratchie!!!

Good to hear your on the mend. Just make it every Monday and we’re on! 👍

Thanks Skipper! It’s a beautiful place and even better when the fish are on! See you again soon! Haha 😂 At least the gear will be cheaper! 😂

Oh Dieter, I’ve got some of the best excuses ever. Lol 😝 But not catching many fish in 8 weeks there’s definitely something wrong 🤔

Good to see your still about fishing Yern! cheers scratchie!!!

Haha! Sore finger???? I wish I had an electric casting rod! 🤣🤣🤣 Awesome to see fishraiders get together and spend the day fishing! Good on you fellas 👍 cheers scratchie!!!
