Two top fish there! Good to see you making the most of your time! Well done 👍 cheers scratchie!!!

Glad you put up a report! That’s a good fish for the young fella and his smile says it all. Well done 👍 cheers scratchie!!!

No but we seen Edith up there! 😝

I guess the trawlers need to make living too but he could’ve waited until you got your bag yowie! Cheers scratchie!!!

91cm for gummy in NSW

Sure was yowie! Can’t wait for dinner tonight!

Nah Baz, we were about 13nm north of Broughton!

Haha, experience and local knowledge baz! A day like yesterday, every man, women and tourist in the area with a vessel would have been at Broughton 😝

Awesome experience Frank! Those size Barra would go hard. And that 112 is a trophy fish! Well done 👍 cheers scratchie!!!

Good report Craig! Always good to get a mate onto some fish especially if they’ve been getting donuts! You would have looked like a pro with a bent rod when he turned up! Cheers scratchie!!!

Duck well and truly broken! YFT is one of the best eating fish and give a real good account of themselves. Well done Jon! Cheers scratchie!!!

Thanks Sam. It was great to see Woodsy score a cracking PB and someone willing to listen to my dribble when we go fishing! 😝

Mate, if you had yesterday off, did you look at the forecast? It was a cracking day out there. Water temp was 20.4 at best! We listened to the gamefish boys all day and only one landed. Glad we didn’t opt for that.

Thanks Craig!

Couldn’t agree more rick! Either way, we all get a feed!

Haha, ya bastard! I tried to get over it but trust me, that was a really really good fish!!!

Cheers mate!!! It was a sensational day out there!

Never a worry here BN. If I watch someone catch a PB and it out does me, then I’ve done my job! Awesome day on the water!

Thanks mate! It sure was a cracking fish and gave a good account of itself! I was stoked for Woodsy! That’s two PB’s for him in two outings! Can’t ask more that!

G’day raiders, Headed out this morning with @Woodsy1. With the predicted forecast we had so many options. Now that’s the difficult part! Hmmm, try for dollies, marlin or snapper! Well we chose to pick up a feed of snapper instead! Headed north of Broughton and got there in no time at all. Set the drift and found the bait. Things were looking good and you could feel something was about to happen! Next minute bang, I’m on to a thumper! Peeling line at will but I could feel a grind every time this beast went for a run. Got him close to the boat and pop! Noooooooo, the leader let go! A few expletives, re-rig and back in the game! By this time, Woodsy has stepped his game up and landed a nice 50cm+ snaps. Then another and another! Man he was on fire! We drifted a few different areas but the same result, Woodsy was killing it! I dropped another good fish, and Woodsy picked up another quality snaps! Then he was playing with the sounder and I see his rod go off, quick or the dead I thought and picked it up and onboard comes another snaps! Then we move again and I hear him go yes yes yes, this thing was stripping line. I give him a bit of encouragement and said just play it out! He did it to perfection and up comes he’s new PB of 76cm of bulk snapper! Hi 5’s all round and back to casting! We caught a few more for the table but today belonged to Woodsy with a quality quality snapper, PB and scored nearly every fish in the box! Well done champ! You’ve come along way, listened and improve every time you go out! Im heaps proud of you and look forward to you beating that PB on our next outing!!! Cheers scratchie!!!

Nice work Rick! Some fair lumps there. Any bycatch??? cheers scratchie!!!

Post moved to “fishing chat” section!

That’s barracouta not barracouda!!!

Haha, bro you kill me! Sending me snapper pic whilst I’m working! Kudos to you! I’m glad you got a few but disappointed not on the sps!! Although you need to adapt to the conditions and that’s what you did! so you listened and you struck gold! Well done mate and now to get your arms stretched on some marlin!!!! Cheers scratchie!!!?
