Ditto.

Simply to not let life get in the way of fishing....

[GeoffP04]

Get my first trip to 1770 in. And kill it while there.

I'm hearing you... I think your goals are more realistic than mine

[Coconutdog]

Mine is to discover some good fishing spots around Yeppoon and catch my first saltwater fish in many years. 13 days to go until we're there.

....and 14 days until you're fishing ? haha

[Coconutdog]

Prolly leave it a week or two until we settle in. We leave Wodonga for ever on Australia Day. Should be there by the 27th. Hamish has given me some good ideas about where to fish and what to use.

[Angry51]

WHAT!!! A Mexican coming to QLD, probabaly need a vote on this one.

Shouldn't be too bad if you stay down the bottom bit.

[Coconutdog]

We're going to the middle bit. Actually born & bred in Sydney so don't really qualify as a Mexican.

[ellicat]

We're just about all Mexicans to @Angry51, him being a FNQer.

[Angry51]

Anyone south of Rocky qualifies.

But don't worry mate, if you last 12 months we'll

probably forget about that sidnie melburn stuff.

Then you won't be Mexican proper.

Going by Google Maps we're 24.89km north of Rockhampton. I go for the Maroons and have a 12 month membership with the Capras, does that help?

Hang on, man's gotta have a think about this.

You've probably just snuck in, you lucky bugger!!!

You're just lucky you mentioned the right colour jumper.

Welcome to QLD when you get here, MATE!!!

[Coconutdog]

Thanks Angry. Any one else here from around Yeppoon? 

[Old Scaley]

2023 goals are probably the same as 2022 (too lazy to find the 2022 topic). Couple of things come to mind:

1.  Get amongst the prawns when they school up in the southern bay

2. Get @benno573 on the water at least 5 times this year

3. More crazy adventures with @ellicat

4. Nail an SEQ longtail

We did have a fella from there but he's no longer with us. I know there are a couple of ex-Rocky members that are active as well as @AUS-BNE-FISHO who normally gets up there on holidays.

[Bretto77]

I like the country available around Yepoon.

Plenty of good buys here if you keep an eye on the market. We bought our house for $450k last January. Now worth $480k plus.

The fishing county is potentially better than that

[Coconutdog]

What do you mean by the fishing county?

The area available for for fishing in that locality that requires a modest investment in time and travel vs rewards.

[Coconutdog]

Got time (retired), got travel (AE93), rewards we'll see. I'm a patient bastard. Keep doing the same thing over and over with input from those that know with modification that will hopefully achieve results. Slowly but surely.
