Suburbs Of Origin 2020 - Competition Rules And Details

[Kat]

Hi @christophagus

Thanks.  BTW I wasn't being a smart#ss,  I can't find my original post?  

Somehow I doubt I will be making the leaderboard anyway

Cheers Kat

[Old Scaley]

Welcome to the mighty Southside team,   @Kat.  That is a nice whiting. Funny how they look so small in a photo but you can get two nice fillets off a whiting that size. Were they soldier crabs that you used for bait? There could be some much bigger ones around your area so you might end up on the leaderboard at some stage. Either way, you are part of the team.

Hi @Old Scaley, I don't really know what crabs they were.  I was pumping for yabbies and they were coming up.  They were small and black and white?  

Cheers Kat

In @christophagus's defence @Kat, he has been kept VERY busy lately with all the entries by the Southsider's (the team that actually go fishing ..... ) and their admirable catches ..... 

I’m biting my lip. Not sure how much longer I can keep it up though.

There is an alternative way to shut us up ......... (hint: it involves a rod and reel ........ ).

did they look like this?

I can't find a photo of the small version that are more black and white. seems the blue ones are more photogenic.

Hi @Drop Bear

Actually handling them was pretty creepy it reminded me of the little bugs in that Tom Selleck 80's movie - but squishy - eeew.

Just pressed submit a tad later than you.

[Kat]

Cool.  Thanks.  Anyway I will try using them again if I suck them up.

[ellicat]

They aren't the best bait going for your bread and butter species but they do work. Try to capture the smaller ones that will fit into a whiting's mouth. Maybe put 2 on your hook.

They are easy (and maybe a little fun) to chase and catch when they are marching around as in the photos above.

Hey @ellicat no I dont plan to chase them down - LOL - I am not insane.  I will give them a try if I end up pumping them up instead of yabbies as I did the other day

Almost instantaneously I’d say

Off to MacLeay Island for a few days.  May island hop.  Going to try and beat the leaderboard on flathead, whiting (yeah right), or Bream.  I know we are all on the same team but....

I am addicted and know the weather sucks but at least I am not in a boat

Good luck. 

Do you know Chris Cox? He lives on Lamb. 

[ellicat]

It must be half time by now. Score = 46 (11 tries and one conversion)to Nil !

Hope Norths can be a bit more competitive in the second half, or it mightn't be worth watching.

Hiya.  No.  My parents live on MacLeay.  I actually have only been to Karragarra and Russell so far.  Do you know what the land based fishing on Lamb is like?

Cheers Kat

He mostly fishes from a yak and I have not spent much time fishing there sorry. 

There would be heaps of bream to catch from the jetty if you use small hooks no sinker and bread.

Only one week to go. Its neck and neck. Who is going to take it out?

Yeah but unfortunately our neck seems to have been cut off.

Wow that is quite a talent. Taking just the neck? You must be pretty fast sewing your head to your shoulders or have I got it wrong? 

But if in doubt, you could actually go fishing?

You’ve got to admit though, I did start with a good one.

[Brodie_S]

Oh crap I just realised trevally where on the speices list . I will have to give mine a measure tomorrow it’s in the eski along with a cod . It kind of sucks I didn’t measure it when I caught it cause it would have Srunk by a cm or 2

There are nearly as many land based options and excuses not to go.

Mate, I don’t even make it out in my boat fishing. What chance is there of me wading through the mud trying to catch something?

[Kat]

Not quite big enough... but I tried

[Kat]

I thought this was a huge fish!  I was quite disappointed when it was close enough to see - BTW - anyone know what kind of ray it is?

[Drop Bear]

@Kat that's a blue spotted Ray. Well done. I remember being really upset when I was about 7 when I was told they are no good to eat. I reckon they would be pretty good.
