    I think this round will see me battling it out with Jono and Greg for the bottom of the ladder. I need more byes for the QLD teams!
  2. A bit embarrassing that your old mate’s last battle was with a grinner, but sad nonetheless. Sounds like you have plenty of fallback options.
  3. Should be a great trip, Kelvin. Taking the boys? I have seen a few YT videos of the barge they use. Great idea. When you said the island is closed for pest eradication I immediately thought they might be getting rid of grinners, in which case they could have waited for you to take care of that for them. I can’t talk, though. All my recent fishing trips have been dominated by grinners and sharks! Enjoy the planning!
  4. I was camping at Blakesleys a couple of weeks ago. We had crab pots out front of the camp in 4 or 5 metres of water. When we collected them in the morning a massive tiger followed them all up and even knocked a couple right beside the boat. It was at least 500mm across the head and we estimated at least 3 metres long. Very big animal. Needless to say we decided against the morning swim.
  5. Having access to a tinnie is going to add a whole new dimension to fishing for you guys. Nice work lads!
  6. Are you sure you just haven’t caught all the big ones, Bob? You do pretty damn well.
  7. I love a fish curry and mackerel are a great ingredient for curries. I had some school mackerel on the weekend that I made with my favourite fish curry recipe. Very simple but really tasty https://shop.rickstein.com/pages/madras-fish-curry-recipe
  8. Great report @Another Wazza That spotty is pretty handy bycatch, and a big fella to boot.
  9. Happy Easter everyone. Brian, lay off those chocolate prawns!
  10. We really do need to restore shellfish reefs to Moreton Bay. You can help. https://ozfish.org.au/projects/moreton-bay-shellfish-reef-restoration/
  11. I caught the fishing bug as a 10 year old pulling endless butter bream up from the jetty and cooking them whole over a little fire on the beach. Great days. Everything Ted says above is spot on. Depending on the experience level of your 12 year old, I would stick to sections A and C. Section B can produce good fish but be prepared to lose a lot of terminal tackle. Take plenty because as Ted said, it is dear there. Same for bait. You can get yabbies near the caravan park if you have a pump. Hope you enjoy your time there.
