That's ok. I'll do it.

? Didn't I make sense ? I'm saying put up a For Sale thread in the Classifieds forum. https://www.australianfishing.com.au/forum/60-classifieds/ Then post a link to it in the Stejcraft thread that has been going for a couple of years. Everytime someone Googles for a review they come on here and have a look at that thread.

Welcome to the AFO forum, Andy.

I'd call it a bullrout too.

Yeah, not much good until next Thursday/Friday. Not even The Pin looks doable.

Decided to brave the 12 knot SE wind forecast with @Old Scaley today. I thought the Rainbow would be a bit sheltered and launched from Manly and headed across a pretty lumpy bay until we got in behind Peel. Ahhh. Steve put a trolling board with a 3" spoon out and I put a 6M Laser Pro out. First line over a previously successful spot and Steve was on. A grinner. A grinner that ran across my line and gave us an almighty tangle that required a bit of cutting. After sorting that out we proceeded and Steve picked up a nice schoolie, going 56cm. I changed down to a 2.5M Laser Pro with a smaller profile. Caught weed. Changed my rig to a trolling board as well. We passed over a bait ball and we were on alert. Double hookup and they were both thumping in the opposite direction, giving a good account of themselves. Steve's got off, but I managed to land mine, going 62 with a bit of missing tail. Steve then picked up another good one. Then we got another big tangle that required more cutting. During that time the macks moved and we couldn't relocate them. We trolled on but our luck had run out, so we retired the trolling gear and headed down to SE Peel to find the 'Hole in the Wall'. We found it, but being more exposed, was a bit rough for fishing so we headed back to Green Island. Conditions were pretty lumpy still, but not too bad boating in the same direction as the waves. By the time we got to Green things were looking ordinary, so we called it and headed back to Manly for a 12.30 finish, an hour earlier than planned. Thanks for braving the conditions, mate.

You could add a link in the Stejcraft thread to a For Sale post in the Classified forum.

Tail fell off and I lost a cm or two, but 62cm claimed. Steve's 56cm Steve's 62cm

You've just noticed it. There's a few club members. 'Club Member' is a carryover from the old days, where for $15 you would get a discount on site merch/comps for the year. There was also a points system back in the old days that you could use 15,000 instead of paying.

I've changed the North V South comp to monthly (in case you missed it). So, if you've got some pics on a brag mat etc, you can post them up. South needs to answer @crazywalrus's entries for North. The secret signal is to have your hand in the pic.

Nice work, @tugger. Is that a new rig I see ?

I don't berley at all in shark season.

More like skidmark and grunting... haha

Tuna oil in chicken pallets. I guess freshly chopped hardies would be just as good.

I agree there are negatives that you identified above. However, I still have them as premiers for this year, subject to injuries and other unforeseens. Capewell's departure will be hard to remedy along with Flegler. A lot of experience lost. The replacements need to step up. They have been around/inside the club for a while. Farnworth was great last year, but Cobbo is a big body with potential once he settles into the role. Hard to stop Walsh's speed of foot and mind.

Not as tough as Roosters in Vegas.

@crazywalrus Join in.

Yeah baby !!

Every time I see your boat, I like it more. The tuskies match the colour. haha That one is huge.

Good times with the boys, Ted.

Looks like a top day for the esky. Don't forget the comp (in the Events forum). Token for March is your hand in the photo on a measure.

Ripper bass, Declan. Showing the old man up. haha Cuttlefish or Squidtrex ?

Big carp, Bob. Just so you know, the pictures are fixed, so you can just add them normally now.

I think the Roosters were just too good in defense. Broncos forwards didn't seem to have as much punch with the ball. As a Queenslander, Lindsay Collins had a great game.

I changed the times to be Qld (AEST) times.
