Hey Southsiders, you thinking what I'm thinking ................ (Chris has been stalling until he bought his new boat ......... ).

Oh and Chris - just in case it comes to it, might pay to change the wording of 'For a team to win the round, they must hold at least the biggest 5 out of the 9 species' to just having to win more categories than the opposition (in case a few categories get no entries ).

Hmmmmmm - going to have to sneak a fish in this weekend, yippee!!

[Old Scaley]

Looks like a tough weekend weather wise after a run of ideal days.

[kmcrosby78]

Perhaps given the cr@ppy weekend forecast we should run the decider for 2 weeks? Might increase the chances of all of the categories being entered and build the suspense, trash talk, etc .......?

I reckon you'll still find a way to catch a flathead or two ........

[Drop Bear]

Yew southerly Friday and Saturday and light on Sunday.

Smacks of Rocks for Taylor Jew Trevs Fri Sat then Boat rock in the yak on sunday. 

I hope I have something real to post. We tried Green island this week for a donut. 

[kmcrosby78]

Caught anything yet @Drop Bear?   Anyone heading out tomorrow?  I'm taking one for the team and getting up at stupid o'clock and hitting the river - hoping for my first jewie in a bl00dy long time. Also hoping to anchor in an area I haven't before - as long as there's not a ship there it should be vacant at the time I'll be there.

I'm heading out now. Low tide at 8:30am. Try and get me a three fingered flatty!!

[Old Scaley]

Might head out and come check on you @kmcrosby78 and try for a flattie while I am out.

[Drop Bear]

Pretty quiet. I couldnt use the yak... and thats another story. Here is a flathead. 3 jig heads and 3 written. Does that count?

Cracker mate. Nice fish

[Old Scaley]

Well done @Fishaman. I gave it a crack for a few hours today. Bites were scarce and best I could do was a 52cm model. Still, can't complain about fresh flathead for dinner. Go the Southies.

How right I was ......... it was number two that did the trick, trumping my 59cm.  On the plus side I'm joining the 'flathead for dinner crew'

 

@Old Scaley - didn't see you, what time did you go out through the mouth? If you'd told me there was no point getting up at 2:15pm because the wharves area would be quiet (apart from useless fish that just mouth and scale 25cm mullet ....) and that the flathead wouldn't fire until 8am, I could have had more sleep ........

You've got to enter fish by 7pm Rob. A bream would be handy .....   Good luck.

Nice Flattie @kmcrosby78. I left the port ramp at about 8.45 and checked out a few boats along the wharves but didn't see you Kelvin.  On the way back in at about 1pm there were a few big schools of Tailor working in the shipping channel east of the Poo Shute.  Threw a few different slices and plastics at them for no result. Actually didn't get a touch inside the river today.  Pretty good day on the water though.

[Luvit]

Well done again to the southerners.

@Luke Landrunner and I did some boat testing today but also did some not so serious fishing. Luke picked up a nice legal tusk fish and I a 70cm kingfish which gave us a feed each. Pity the Kingfish was by classed as a pelagic.

Yeah mate, just the wharves. I'm too much of a goodie goodie and stick to the rules - often wonder how many fish the people who don't follow the 30m clearance rules catch.
