No worries Geoff I will certainly keep your address and give you a call. Will probably move the boat up there sometime in march!! Thanks for the reply. Maurice

Hi Fellow Raiders I would like to go out on Friday. It seems as if the sea will drop. Would anyone like to go out on my 31 feet Noosa Cat? Share fuel the only expense. The boat is moored at Cabarita. That is Concord Sydney. Maurice

Hello fello Raiders I am moving to Newcastle in a few weeks and will be moving my boat up as well. It is a 31 ft Noosa Cat and a great platform for fishing. I am looking for a regular crew to assist on fishing days. Contribution to fuel is the only cost. If you are nterested please let me know. I will probably moor the boat in Newcastle Harbour somewhere. Thanks Winnings

Thanks to Roscoe and several marlin trips including one memorable stripy at 110kg I decided to make my new purchase, (boat number 14) a 31ft Noosa Cat. Figured that I wouldn't mind getting out there this summer and try for some game fish. Several boats ago I did give it a crack out of a Bertrum 26' but unfortunately the boat was right but the guy driving it wasn't. When you are out on Broadbill the cruise is so good that the deckie does all the work. Now that means that I mostly slept between turns in the chair and didn't learn much. So now I am seeking an expert marlin, tuna, etc etc experienced game fisherman to show me the ropes. Boat and fuel provided or alternatively I can get a few ohter novices to assist in othe rpayment methods. So if you are an expert in game fishing please let me know as I really do want to maximise the use of this boat. Happy fishing!! Winnings

we are going out tomorrowm if you want to come. Yellowfin fishing.!! Yeah

Well done mate what a good story. Great to see you get your first fin. It is really addictive fishing. All the best. Great photos Winnings

Hi Grimo I am heading out about 5.30am. Out to Browns and around the Canyons I suppose. They have been catching them all up and down the coast from 15kg - 70 kgs. Mostly on cubing. I keep my radio on channel 91 so if you get a chance feel free to call me. My boat is JEMMS 4. Good luck. We can keep in touch in case one of us strikes it up!!

Well done what a couple of beauties. Everyone is tipping a bumper season so lets cross ourfingers. Good luck Winnings

Good to see an honest fisherman,. Don't worry we have all had days like that. Hopefully not too many. Don;t give up though the one good day you will have soon will blow this into the memory banks. Winnings

Hi Mate A great story. I am going out tomorrow for a day. How far out were you when you struck gold? W@hat was the temperature on your way back? Sounds like it could be a bumper season. Hope they come in a birt closer though. Winnings

Thanks Rabs, I will do that. Good suggestion. Winnings

Hi Raiders Does anyone know fi the Yellowfin have arrived off Sydney yet?? Thinking of going out on the weekend. Thanks Winnings

Good catch. Have you heard if there are any tune being caught yet?? Thanks

Hi Geoff Thanks for the reply. Actually I am just sitting here with someone that knows you. His name is Paint Stripper AKA John? We met out on a charter boat fishing trip on Tuesday. We caught a couple of big Spaniards one of which was over 35 lbs. John will put a photo up as I did not get one. But boy it was very tasty indeed. Merry Christmas and thank you for the tips on Cronulla!! Cheers Maurice Winnings 1

Thanks Mr Magoo for the advice which I will certainly heed. I ended up getting the GPS marks as they tell me that there is a much greater variation in temperature out there so we shall see. Thank you for making the effort to answer my request.
