[Davo_Dinkum]

[fishinking]

haha nice

[pinkey]

Hooked a cod of about 35 - 40cm today and it jumped clean out of the water after being hooked, i had to skull it away from the structure and pulled the hooks right at the end of the fight. guessing winning fish will be around 50 - 70cm though. Unless offshore then closer to 1m.

Mate as much as I hope to see some more awesome cod entered, there was a sneaking element of sarcasm in my post

AS Feral said, way to set the bar!!

I was snorkling in the Noosa River once around the pontoons near where Barry's Wharf used to be and saw one like underneath once. At a glance in the dark of the pontoon it scared the living bejebus out of me!

Well done again.

Angus

[nadders]

me and teckee picked a couple up lastnight, teck got one 40cm and one i dropped at my feet which was a bit bigger maybe 50 both on softies

dont worry i sent teck a txt to make him fix his entry up haha

[teckee7]

Guys, the fish been gutted and cooked by the time I got back. I am sorry that I did not take a pic of it with my mugshot in it. Dont worry I will catch another one later this week and it will be bigger than Leighton's...haha

I hope so, I just picked up some 80 lbs leader. Might be able to land some of the bigger models lurking at that spot1

[nadders]

get the gold bombers ready teck, lets doit

by the way i went to portside quickyl this morning before uni and my bomber was there glinting in the sun, right on the edge of the rail =(

[teckee7]

Now everyonne is going there to retrieve it...goodbye gold bomber

Yeah, Leighton, we were chucking wrigglers on jigs and the one I caught bent the hook on it. looks like I need to get heavier artillery to deal with the monster cod that I am going to catch.

[RUSSIAN]

Brissy River has a few around rocks and mangroves.

Live prawn or herring or lures about the size of an sx60.

I caught my last on a viking crank minow on a 3kg rod spinning for bream, it went about

55cm but still was not a very big cod, they get a lot bigger.

cheers

[werewolf]

how awesome was the winning cod! what a beast, well done
