Hi guys, My name is billy and i live on the gold coast. I used to live in hamilton on the brisbane river and have been lure fishing for threadies and jew for the past 25yrs. I now mainly fish on the gold coast for bonefish and the odd permit as well as a heap of giant herring and jacks. I used to work as a guide in broome WA but now i have a family and call the coast home.Please fell free to chat at anytime. Cheers Billy.

welcome to the site billy! there's plenty of blokes on here that will probably be making use of 25 years experience fishing the river!

quick question.....what the hell is a permit?

[jigman72]

A permit is also known as a snub nose dart... But belive me, these things pull like a freight train and are as rare as rocking horse shit here is brisbane and the gold coast
