Tweed River 12th & 13th March

[Malcolm]

Just a quick one as I'm stuffed.

Tweed weekend was fantastic 10 Blokes on the old boat

Down the Tweed

Got a few Muddies and heaps of Bream a few Whiting and Flathead and one of the Boys not me caught this Jack

I got bricked by one on amullet head and thought take a photo of this one so I can tell lies :pinch:

It was caught at Tumbulgum Bridge about Midday today on live Herring.

the water past Chinderah was blue as.

We tied up at the Ivory Hotel for dinner Sat night which was good Whiting,Flathead and Barra all on the one plate for $15.00 with chips and salad.

There is plenty more stories to tell but I'm done so any Q's just ask.

I don't reckon you could look any happier even if you'd caught it yourself

Thanks for the report. How good does the water look in that last pic?

[crazywalrus]

looks like you had a great time mal. You look rather relaxed. A few beers and a fish with mates does not get a lot better than that.

[Young_fella]

Onya Malcolm!!!!

I'd love to believe you had a few beers but from experience I believe It was probably like a few bottles of bourban.

GREAT STUFF

[mrb16a2]

stunning looking jack where abouts did you catch it?

[mick fillet]

sounds great mal.

I bet you had a ball

[Mr FeLiX]

Brings back memories of the old traditional boat builders that used to be on the Bulimba reach. Norman Wright ,Milcraft,Tripconies all come to mind plus Roy Bliss and his little self draining 13ft oceaneers that you could take anywhere.Roy was also an accomplished poet with a boating theme.

There must be quite a few more as there used to be a lot of yards along the river.

Cheers
