    Not wanting to be a snob or anything, but you will have so much more fun if you learn how to fly fish for trout. There's a reason why fly fishing for trout is so successful. You can't imitate a caddis or a mayfly with a lure or a soft plastic...at least I haven't seen one yet Sorry to not answer your question...

    Not me!!!! I was referring to the non-gimp suit poddymullets determination to keep using plastics. Same goes on my boat. If you take a spin rod you might use it. I don't take spin rods.

    Spare a thought for us fly fishos. A mate and I donuted totally Sunday. I've also noted some pretty iridescent green algae on the edges. Water quality might be going down

    From a few reports it seemed Sunday was a very quite day. A mate only got an undersize snap off Mud. I donuted on NPD. First time in ages.Barometer up, go figure!! Go the plastics

    I've always had Minn Kotas and the only problem was a sticky foot pedal after 6 years of use. Now have the ducks nuts version with spot lock etc.etc. Great bits of kit. Spot lock is like the wheel being reinvented. Bowmount mate, don't go stern unless you just want to troll.

    Bonefish seem to be an incidental capture around these parts. They are in numbers up at Hervey Bay but only deep and not on the flats like other Bonefish destinations. If you could find a consistent shallow water Bonefish fishery you'd have alot of international sport fishos tearing down your door to get at them. Awesome fish on fly, go like stink....and slippery

    And I spent $5K on going to Kiritimati for fricking Bonefishing. Well done indeed

    That's why I love anchor on my leccie. I still have much to learn and only 20-30 years hopefully to crack the code

    About ten or so at Harries @Old Scaley. Tonnes on the banks (whiting?) I left the ramp at 4:30am and tried for livies around the channel markers for zip. Got a bit spooked of driving to Mud and beyond in the dark so hung around until first light. Not the hardcore Snapper fisho I hope to be aye:)

    Mental health day on Friday Tried a few spots around Mud early morning but only to be plagued by Pike so went to Harries/Tiwi Pearl for a look as I'd never never been before. Used the pike as strip bait but only got pickers. This bait game is still a bit new to me. Picked up a mackerel on the slow troll, some sandies and a few squids on way back home. Magic day to be out on the water alone Mothers day was beer battered Mackerel

    That's why i chase pelagics on fly 90% of the time in the briny. No chance of getting the vomitrons

    That's why only doctors, lawyers and idiots fly fish. I'm neither a doctor or a lawyer.

    Great stuff. A saw the crabbers around Mud in the morning. As I'm mainly a fly fisho I suck at bait fishing. Biggest was a 25cm Tusky my son caught

    Thought of that the instant I heard the crack @Drop Bear

    I'll tow one with the yak I just won't tell anyone where I drop it

    Zone 2?

    Those cheap 30mm Bunnings foam sheets are not suitable unless you cover it first as the resin will melt it. You need polyurethane foam

    Second fly rod break in as many outings Caught lots of these In amongst all of these But then I high-sticked an excited one and ended up with these
  23. Nog
    The Black Queen. The best finicky Bream rod ever. You could feel the slightest nibble and they didn't Give to your kids or Grandkids, they'll be worth heaps in 20 years or so. Or I'll take them off your hand for $20 each Norm the Shark

    Mate, I had a 4.55m Polycraft centre console before upgrading. Very stable, very seaworthy, indestructible, but wet. You have to do some easy mods to the front chines. Second-hand ones are pretty cheap, no rot, no cracked stringers. But I'm biased because I had one remember, like most other opinions you'll get. Go and have a look at a bunch of boats yourself as well of course

    I don't really care for exact locations, echoing Angus's comment on exploring our own. BUT, I do like reports that cover techniques that worked or and sometimes more importantly didn't work. Oh and unfortunate accidents happening to your fishing buddies is a must (with pics obviously)
