  1. Lots of spots on the Tweed to land based fish. Letitia Spit at fingal. Lots of different options. Behind the hospital can be good for tailor,trevs and flatties. Boyds bay bridge. The rock wall along Chinderah all the way through to fingal boat ramp. Just a start but look and you'll find some good spots.
  2. I tried to get a couple before i left but it was the week of the flathead classic and couldn't find any anywhere local. Allready ordered a few more.
  3. HI Guys, Was hoping the photo issue was solved before posting this trip but better late than never. Left home early on the 4th October and met mate a Nudgee and did the drive to the old stomping grounds of Hampo (also known as Rockhampton). Met a mate with his 4.53 Territory Sea Jay, stocked up with ice and fuel and headed north to Stanage bay. Road in was really good after hearing all the horror stories. 70km of bitumen and only 30km of dirt which had mostly been recently graded but pretty dry and dusty in some parts. Set up camp late arvo and rigged up ready for the first time chasing barra. Excited was an understatement. Now unfortunately due to the first night piss up we were up a little bit late the next morning and definitely a bit shady. Anyway we were off. Headed out the front for a jig on some rubble ground for no luck and a sea sick mate who had never been offshore, nothing to do with still being hungover. Headed up the passage to the first creek and saw fish on the side scan straight away, second snag we fished and about half an hour in I hooked the first barra on a vibe in deep on the snag. Great hit and fight and landed my first barra at 75cm. A few casts later on the same vibe I hooked a lot bigger one and lost it not long after. A mighty swirl is all I saw. Doh! Change of spots and with lots of fish on the sounder tried the same vibe and hooked a 63cm grunter which gave me a bit of curry. PB and back she went. Back to the first snag a little bit later later and a change of lure to a fat shad and I had annother 76cm Barra. A lot better fight and eventually in the net. And then I lost the magic vibe on the snag, and as much as we tried we couldn’t get it back. I shed a tear or two I have to say. Didn’t get a bite on any other colour all trip. Day two was very slow and bloody hot. The dog was not happy and we had to constantly wet him down. Straight to the creeks and hit probably 20 creeks for a few fingermark biggest by my mate at 42cm. Missed a few bites on Texas rigged paddle tails and learnt a bit of respect after being dusted a few times. Skipper got a 65cm barra at one of the last snags for the day. Back for more beers and snooze for me. The other two went out for a late arvo session with no luck on the ledge out the front. Saturday was windy with 15 – 20kt SE blowing early but we’ll just go ‘around the corner’ my mate said. 60kms late we get back to the ramp broken, battered but with my mate getting a 76cm barra. Bugger only started fishing 6 months ago. I won’t forget that trip back in a hurry and either will my back. Good feed at the pub that night and packed up camp in the morning for the drive back home. Great trip with a couple of good mates and already planning the next one. https://imgur.com/gallery/clIm6RJ
  4. Nice spot down there. The creek is pretty shallow and protected you can cross the creek to fish the bank on the otherside. Good spot for kids. the beach would be ok if no swell.
  5. Any recommendations for a mobile mechanic in Brisbane for a mate? 15hp 2 banger Evinrude.
  6. A few safe options, Labrador/Biggera Waters foreshore. Council Chambers Cascade Gardens Tally/Currumbin Creek All good spots for kids. More adventurous try any canal bridge/rock wall etc. or Emerald Lakes and Bond Uni.
  7. It's all a bit of an act and it sells to the bogan surf/fish young crew. Bit of jackass vibe. Ex pro surfers that got famous doing stupid stunts like the shark incident so kept it going and yeah they party way too hard doing it but have a very successful business.
  8. It got dark and cold and the fire was calling. Would have only been a couple of hours in total. Better bite once it turned to run out.
  9. Hi Guys, Hit the Broadwater again on Saturday arvo on the top of the tide to chase some squid. Few boats at the first spot but nobody catching so moved after 20mions to a new spot. 2 on the first drift and hits or squid on each drift after. Ended up with 6. 3 more dropped beside the boat by my slow to react deckie and about another 6 dropped during the retrieve. Good steady session and lots of fun. My salt & pepper squid stir fry was great. Left the lips numb and the eyeballs sweating.
  10. As long as my lips are numb and sweating out my eyeballs then I'm happy.
  11. A few squid today on the high tide. Only my third time chasing them properly and finally got a few. Lost 2 other big ones. Nice day and plenty of boats chasing them. Any chilli squid recipes?
  12. AMF Magnets online. We buy the Neodymium Magnets from them and they have good service. Get 20 or so for about 15$

    A few fools

    Hi guys, The fish must have known its fools day as I managed to fool a few this morning. Launched at Diamond Head at 5.30 and fished the Aldershots. Slow to start and a few small grunter,GT and jew once the tide started out. Hooked a steam train on 6lb of course and chased it for bit before being busted off. I thought Tarpon it was that quick across the surface but no jumps so not sure. Got the heavier outfit with same lure and hooked up again to something big but pulled hooks after a long run. Mate came with me and he got his first jew,grunter and GT on lures. He was rapt. I good flatty to finish the day and back by 9.30. All round a fun little session.
