    Fantastic report mate. That's a cracker of a boat. Weather looks very favorable. Can i ask where are you based Brisbane or further south. Did you sashimi the yellowfin. Cheers R&B

    We are just south of Brisbane at viccy point. The. Boat is for sale at the moment if your interested. We sashimi the yellow fin and steak the rest 

  2. Been living in qld from Sydney for a year now and have been fishing and travelling across the South passage bar frequently. 

    We are learning to fish it well and having regular results. There is so much variety here and the fishing isn't as pressured. From our last couple trips we have caught multiple snapper in 12 metres of water and while trolling home picked up a juicy yellowfin. Went fishing again Saturday and kept 12 mahi mahi and let several go all on live bait and soft plastics. They are great fun on light gear on a soft plastic. Hoping for my first Wahoo soon will keep you all posted.

  3. Scratchies was 5cm bigger than mine. Was thinking today is it just a coincidence or is was the weather perfect for big snapper. I also struggled with smaller fish on the day. Only caught one 35cm Bluespot flatty all day

    Haha, wouldn’t bother me Sam! I enjoy people catching good fish just as much as I do myself! That’s why I offer up so much info! 

    But I am glad a Queenslander didn’t get one up on NSW! Lol ? (just saying) 

    great fish farvos!!! 

     

  4. Not as big as scratchies fish but close. Fished off moreton island yesterday with the wife and dog. Did a few drifts for a small pearlie. The wife started feeling crook so i manned all four rods on my own. I had 2 heavey paternoster rigs out, a floatline rig and a 2ounce jighead with a 7inch gulp in white on it.

    Was constantly feeding line out on floatline and plastic rig and while checking the bait on the paternoster rig my 7inch gulp gets smashed.

     

    My previous record for snapper was 60 so i knew this fish was a fair bit larger. I fought it on 30lb braid and 30lb leader for around 10 min (felt like 2 hours) until it appeared from the depths. For the first time ever i actually loosened the drag as it got boatside and my wife came out from the cabin and netted it. Super stoked and was smiling from ear to ear. It went 5.5 kg. My photo is now on the wall at the grandview hotel.

  5. The change has been great. We both got transfers with work so were lucky in that regard. Noosa is tight for work so south east queensland is a happy medium. We sold up in sydney and live a street back from the water here now for half the price in a bigger house amd saltwater pool. Definetly havent regretted it. Crabbing has been fantatstic to.

    Went  out friday to square patch off moreton island for some arm stretching action. Landed five big amber jack, the head of a 1m+ kingfish and several trag, snapper and a pearlie. Lost more than the kingie to sharks unfortunately. Got to pay some tax every now and then. Will post more often now as we havIMG-20180817-WA0004.thumb.jpg.44a1c1d353a8bf6156cd833b38b9b050.jpge settled in now.

  7. I liked the build quality of the bar crusher and the narrow hull in alli gives a good ride through chop. My last boat was a formosa tomahawk 550 cc. Great boat but very big and heavy. Used to pound through swell rather than cut it. The cabin in the bar crusher is very usable and the value for money is quite good.

    All personal taste and choice i guess.
