Congrats on the new tinnie! It opens your fishing options! I would say a fishfinder would definitely be of benefit. Mainly helping you with depth and structure. Also it can help you find bait schools. Mat least you got out and gave it a crack! Good luck next time! Cheers scratchie!!!

Thanks rick! Agree! Yeah baz, that’s the 3rd time I’ve caught them there! First time on sps though! I was deep, a whole 15m lol

Cotton mouth trevally! Never seen one before until I caught one last year! Yes, very slimy! Cute mahi. Cheers scratchie!!!

Haha, I have enough kids, trust me!

Cheers swordy! Beautiful day out there! Thanks baz! Yes mate, 5inch zman coconut ice. I love those sps! Thanks Pete! Captain fair weather would be happy out there today!

G’day raiders, Its been a while between posts. I have been out fishing but mainly just catching a few flatty etc. I did hook up to a marlin the other day but got busted off. Today, I manage to get out with the nephew and Jnr. We headed straight to Broughton Island and fish the sisters. Had the place to ourselves for the whole morning. Fished with sps only for snapper and managed a few with a couple of good ones! Plenty of bait there mainly yakkas, but underneath them were the snaps! Caught a pearlie on sps too! Then we went and picked up some flatty for lunch. Nephew started feeling sick so we decided to troll one of the islands. Landed 5 bonito in 5 mins plus a just undersized king! Headed for Home and was back at the ramp in no time due to the glass like conditions. Great day on the water with the team! Cheers scratchie!!!

Cracking fish on 8lb! Absolute welcome bycatch! I think the big smile says it all! Cheers scratchie!!!

Pms only please

Charters can certainly be hit and miss! In my experience, the smaller that the charter caters for the better! Unless of course you are going out with a large family or group. Then it’s more about the time together on the water. My advice, pick an area that is appropriate for the type of fishing you want to do, hire a boat and ask some questions of the area from the members of this site! Cheers scratchie!!!

Go get boys!

No mate! Rain all day Friday, swell Saturday and kids sport on Sunday! Everything conspired against me!

Nice work Geoff and Evi. That’s what fishing’s all about. If you don’t find them in one area move on until you do! What works one day, might not just work the next so be flexible! Enjoy!!! Cheers scratchie!!!

Nice work on the snaps! My favourite target and by far the families best eating fish. Perfect feed at that size! Cheers scratchie!!!

Nice one Dave. Still a species I’m yet to tick off the list. Just waiting for @rickmarlin62 to invite me on a boys weekend away! Haha. Doesn’t the countryside look amazing! Cheers scratchie!!!

Nice bag indeed! I love a feed of whiting. Well done cheers scratchie!!!

Done ✅

Nice work BN! What does yellowbelly taste like? And how do you cook it? The only freshwater fish I’ve ever eaten was a trout. It tasted pretty muddy too. I’ve always been curious as to what freshwater species eat best. Cheers scratchie!!!

Don’t sweat it. I’m not the best with technology either! But I do have 4 kids that teach me! Glad you had a good day and brought home a feed! Well done cheers scratchie!!!

At least the fish are piling up Baz! Will come in handy with the weather for the next week! Well done cheers scratchie!!!

Load it to YouTube and then link it! That would make for some great viewing!

That’s what we want to hear mate! A good report of an adventurous day! Now the photos and the reports complete! Cheers scratchie!!!

Where’s your report then?

You know it’s a quiet day when you resort to catching mullet! What hope have the rest of us got! But still nice to see that bag mat full. Cheers scratchie!!!
