I have fished that ledge many many times but all I have ever caught was catfish, stingrays, squire and bream. :pinch:

Congrats nice fish.

[Gazza]

Thats a nice fish well done :woohoo:

[faulked]

holy sugar bags thats bloody awsome mate im stunned well done

[Angus]

Jeff you a legend. Well done mate thats an awesome catch. So much for my logic of \"not targeting the threaddies over the colder months\". Looks to me like i just missed out on great opporunities

[rayke1938]

Looking on ausfish yesterday whilst the site was down and there is a post on a fishkill up near the moggil and large dead threadies reported so definatly looks like a all year proposition.

They also target them during winter in the Hervey Bay area according ti Fishtales.

not a bad fight but the 8kg gear was way heavier than needed.

these things fight clean, it just ran like buggery for deeper water. i cranked it back pretty easy,then it exploded when it saw the boat and took off toward the pipeline so i thumbed the spool and turned it back toward open water and pumped it back to the boat.

thats when i discovered that my landing net was missing and had to land it with my little hand gaff.

one shot

straight in the gills;)

i still got it:P

[novrain]

that's a massive thready Jeff!!!.. well done!! must have been a hell of a fight - merv

[Do$tylz]

Jeff that is AWESOME. Congrats mate. Fish steaks for dinner?

sure its not a cobia?
