  1. Funkster,

    Great work on the plastics. I've tried the Squidgey's and some of the lesser known brands and you are 100% correct, THEY DO WORK.

    I said it last week, the big Flatties are on and coming out to play. last week and now yours.

    Better get the beer batter going.

  2. What a beauty. I've had a fair crack at the Bay Kings and have been impressed with some smaller models, but that one would have stretched me. :1yikes:

    Looks like its time to hit the gym and work on the arms and back if I am going to stand a chance of hanging on to hoodlum's like that.

  3. Dusky,

    Great Flattie.

    By the looks of the last few days reports,2 fish at 90cm, it might be time to get out there and try for a big lizard.

    They make quite impressive pictures for the album. :1yikes:

  4. Raiders,

    Karabouz and I took my new used boat out for the first time last night in the Georges. Wanted to see how it went and how fishable it is. Its a 1989 Savage Lancer 530 with a 90 Yammie 2 stroke.

    Thought we might as well have a bit of a fish at the same time in the hope of christening the boat with its first fish.

    Landed this schoolie on a blade

    Karabouz also got a schoolie on one O' them there new style Octo jigs. Not through his technique though, it came on when he sat down to have a cuppa. :074: No pics of that unfortunately ,the rubbish work mobile went flat.

    Pretty happy with the purchase, and hope to increase the size of jewies soon.

    Can't wait to give the boat a crack at the squid. After all, the only real way to christen a boat is to get someone covered in ink.

    Here's a pic of the boat as well

  5. Changa,

    I've sought some guidance from a wise old Greek fisherman, commonly known hereabouts as RED. He tells me the name OPAH is derived from the Greek meaning "you little ripper" :yahoo: , which can commonly be heard yelled out loudly by persons of Greek ancestry when they are on to a good thing. :thumbup:

    I'm pretty sure you and the boys may have yelled out your own version when you saw what you had on.

  6. Changa,

    It is a strange but beautifully coloured fish. Looks like there is enough there to keep the whole tribe fed.

    Gotta put it in fish of the month, I doubt that there will be another one of them in it and its a bit of a change from all the YFT and Blue Eye that have been posted of late.

  7. That's an awesome fishing tale. It had everything, action, drama and loss. That is truly a story to tell the kids and grand kids. Bet the Kingy went down a treat for you and the family.

    The unfortunate loss of your gear must surely be a bit easier each time you remember what happened.

    Memories for a lifetime.
