Go the Qld teams! 4 out of 4! I was expecting Magic Round to be Tragic Round for my tipping, but if I hadn’t changed my tip from Souths to Storm at the last minute, it truly would have been magic for me. It won’t last, so I want to enjoy it while it does.

Glad you’re my fishing mate, not my accountant lol.

Sure was a nice day on the water. Catching fish was a bonus in those conditions, although we were due after a couple of really quiet sessions. So glad that we only had the one shark and that it took the bait (whole grinner) rather than a hooked fish. Let’s hope that session is a taste of the upcoming snapper season. Thanks for the day out, Brian. Lots of laughs and a few fish to boot!

Trophy fish

I think I read somewhere at the time that he did get it treated by a taxidermist and mounted for his wall? Maybe that was a different fish? Interesting to scroll through the comments on the Facebook page. Reminds me why I avoid posting or reacting to anything on FB.

Sensational @Another Wazza. Persistence pays off.

Can I borrow that paravane @lachrdr?

I need a new grinder.

My makita just pooped itself.

What lure do you recommend for 5 inch 24v brushless Milwaukee?

Good job on the tuna BTW.

Those longies go hard.

Damn predictive text got me again!

Great report @lachrdr. If you are catching grinders on the paravane, try running it a bit deeper or closer to the boat. Those longtail would have been a nice surprise.

Definitely a rough call against the Dolphins. They definitely had the momentum at that stage.

There's only one game this round that I'm pretty certain about.

Which game is that @ellicat? Well played Tigers!

AUS-BNE-FISHO · April 26, 2023

My mother had 12 kids so had to stretch the food where possible. We used to get 6 pints of milk delivered ( there used to be “milkmen” back then). Mum would cut it with powdered milk to make 12 pints. Milk is the only food I don’t like, but it is not because of that - it was the third of a pint school milk bottles that were always left in the sun before we were forced to drink it at little lunch. The rich kids had flavoured straws to hide the rancid taste, but the rest of us had to drink it straight. Yuk! Sorry @Angry51, I don’t know the brand you are trying to think of.

It was tried on Paul Gallen, but his head killed the rock.

The way I heard it was that Gallen couldn’t hit the rock hard enough to do any damage and then the ARL changed the trap design so that the rock couldn’t get revenge at the next Trap of Origin? Maybe I heard wrong?

Agree. Seems a little unfair doesn't it...

Do you reckon the Warriors might get a fair share of the decisions if the game was in NZ. They certainly copped a few poor decisions yesterday. I tipped Storm but thought the Warriors deserved the win. When was the last time we saw the kicker penalised for crabbing an extra step or two on the goal line drop out? Rubbish.

Angry51 · April 25, 2023

Nice report, Hamish. Good to see some tailor around already and good size as well. A mate has been getting some gooduns off the northern NSW beaches for a few weeks now, so we might be in for a good season.

Brodie_S · April 24, 2023

Have to admire your dedication @TheCharliefisho. I reckon those big bream that hang around pilons at marinas are way too cagey to fool for most of the tricks fishos try to capture them. Probably not a lot of salt water fishing going to happen on the east coast this week. Grrrr!

Another Reg Gasiner or maybe Joey Johns.

Get the popcorn out, but I wouldn’t even put Johns in my top 5 halfbacks of all time. Top 10 yes, but a little overrated in my humble opinion.

Good to see you back on deck, Ray.

Isn't it called a barge when you have the car on board?

You can get a passenger ferry as well, @Kat. Much, much cheaper if you are going for a day trip and don’t need to take heaps of stuff.

I must add that all my ancestors are Qlders. They were just out of state when I decided to come out. lol

I didn’t know that you had come out. Good for you, Brian. Was it a surprise to Mrs Ellicat?

Angry51 · April 18, 2023

Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Mulloway is definitely a trophy fish for most fishers, so I am sure this will be eagerly read by many. Welcome to the forum! Making a contribution with your second post - impressive.

ellicat · April 16, 2023

Penrith certainly got the best of the referee’s calls. That hair pull penalty was just a joke. Getting tired of so many soft penalties and sin bins. We are in danger of NRL becoming whistle-bound like rugby union.

Angry51 · April 15, 2023

Sensational day out, Kelvin. I bet the boys can’t wait to get back to school so they can brag about it to their mates. Definitely bragworthy! Happy filleting.

kmcrosby78 · April 14, 2023

Good to see Kelvin. The boys are right about paravane fishing. It is a bit dull compared to some other techniques but it does get results. Congrats on the spotties.

Angry51 · April 14, 2023

Love your work, Hamish. That crab is a beast and like others have said, cod is great on the table.
