Whilst fishing some popular offshore reefs I've seen quite a few snapper floating by as a boat up from us 'upgraded'. I don't think that practice will cease with the new regs, unfortunately.

If it improves sustainability I guess it's, in the main, a positive.

So I scored well with the signed final edition of Grant's Guide. Very happy.

I have 2 older versions (from the 70's) that'll I'll continue to use so as to keep this one in pristine condition.

Some of those good snapper reports from @Cobiaaddict and @jon this July and August might disappear next season.

New regs apply from today -

My gripe is that a knock back mostly doesn't seem to exist anymore.

Nice feed.

Where did you get the bait, or did you collect yourself ?

Good luck. Hope the easy option works out.

Good idea getting the hips done while you're still relatively healthy.

Wow, nice fishing. You've certainly got your spots well and truly sussed.

Congratulations on your placing.

Welcome to the AFO Forum. 

Looks like the wind stayed away for you too. Did you keep a tally ?

Welcome back,  mate.

Good to have you onboard again.

Also, thinking about changing the tipping comp rules to the winner is the one with the best 'Margin'.

Well this week I had a 3 leg multi and needed the Raiders to win....

(I could have cashed out early to be about $10 ahead overall at half time)

I have a 4 leg multi for next week to either get my cash back or end my short $50 gambling career.

It's 30/0 at halftime in the Tigers game. I'm not so glad I changed my tip to the Knights with only seconds remaining....feeling the pressure from Kelvin.

Did you have the residual on the Eels tonight @ellicat? Never mind, you can always chase your losses on the Dapto dogs.........

No, thought the Dogs were in with a chance. Too risky.

Well I've been procrastinating for years about it, but finally dived in last week and opened a betting account. I usually get 5 tips right each week, so I thought I'd bet on 5 'certainties'.....hence why the Storm and Rabbits lost.
Oh well, I'll gamble the residual and see what happens.

The most amazing thing I found was the actual number of reef sharks.!

That'd be fun.

Haha, nice one, Steve and Kevin.

What weight is the rod ?

I used to use Tackle Warehouse at Coorparoo/Camp Hill for 20years but found on most occasions their staff were non-attentive. Now I go to BCF Greenslopes and on every occasion have found them to be friendly and very happy to help out. They also stock camping gear which suits me.

Good day and a good day for it.

At least you got a feed and a terrific day on the Bay.

Excellent.. will give you a buzz some time this arvo to see what we can arrange.

I too have returned from my quick trip, but can't do tomorrow.

Good luck. Should be a nice day.

How did you stuff it this time @ellicat .............

Thanks must go to @oldscaley who alerted me to the issue.

I contacted the boys who got it fixed. 

Done.
