My brother's and I are keen to take Dad's boat up there and get amongst them. Hopefully one of the school holidays next year. My brother in Gracemere (near Rocky) picked up his brand new 5.5m (from memory) centre console last holidays so that would give us two boats up there . He has been slaying the spanish mackerel since he took the new boat home, bagging out quickly by trolling.

well get him to join the forum and sign up for the mighty team north!

No mate, Southsiders can go over but they have to have all that stuff if they want to return. 

hope the southsiders don't forget they flea dip before they come over the bridge. We don't want fleas coming over to the northside

Well, I think we will make it at Shorncliffe as that seems to be the most popular suggestion.

Proposed dates (ones that I can do) -

Sunday 28 November
Saturday 4 November
Sunday 5 December
Saturday 11 December
Sunday 12 December

Looking at Google Maps, there appears to be 4 or 5 shelters. I assume that means there will be barbecues there also ?? What time do you think someone would need to be there to secure a spot ?

Please let us know what your preferred day and date is below.

my advice would be to do it really early as that small carpark fills up very quickly

Well well well...just when you thought id missed the comp for this year. Well, i kind of did due to a hell of a lot happening during the year for myself but that's all in the past now.

Welcome to the SUBURBS OF ORIGIN 21/22 SUMMER SLAM!!

To mix things up, there are a few things changing for this years competition. First of all, its being held over the summer months/Xmas time (proposed 11/12/2021 - 16/01/2022, please vote in the poll). I know it is a very busy time on the water, but its also the only time of the year some people have the opportunity to go fishing. The idea of this is to get as many people involved as possible. Id imagine this time of year would allow most people to fish. Second of all, something that will have a greater impact on the comp (how the scoring is determined), instead of having one winner per category, there will now be a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place for each fish species. Each place will have a corresponding score. 1st (3 points) 2nd (2 points) 3rd (1 point). For either team North or South to win, they will need to have scored the most points overall. Make sense? Also, given this will be held over summer, I've now included a shark category. For this category, only "legal" sharks will be accepted (1.5m or lower). In the off chance that two identical length fish are caught, then all anglers who catch that exact same sized fish species will be awarded the same point. Eg: two people catch a bream that is 35cm which is the joint biggest fish. Both angles will score 1st/ 3 points (of course, this only applies when a Team North and team South anglers catch the same sized fish). So the same team cannot share and double up on points for any given place. Ideally, the measurement should be down to the mm, but that is not always the case as not everyone has a brag mat that goes down to the mm.  

Like last year, i will be give the winners of each category the opportunity to buy a trophy, as well as all members of the winning team. 

There will be 3 topics associated with this comp. This one which is a general thread for ideas, general chat about the event, a poll for dates of the comp as well as team lists. A topic to go over all of the rules for the event, and a topic for the updated leader board and entry submissions. Further topics will be created once the dates are confirmed.

For those who don't know, the dividing line is the Brisbane river. if you live North of the river, you're team North as well as a legend. If you live in the dregs of the world south of the River, you are a dirty dirty team south member. Let me know and i will add you to the team lists below. As always, this is a free event with the glory of the win being the prize!

Team North @christophagus@Jono4500@Tuna are fish 

Team South @ellicat @Neil Stratford@AUS-BNE-FISHO@tugger@kmcrosby78@Drop Bear

Always live IMHO.

I have seen lures out fish livies so I shouldn't be so closed minded. 

i think at least with a live bait, you know if there are fish around or not. With lures, you questions everything about them (size, colour, hooks, type, retrieve style etc) where as with live bait, the bait takes care of most of those things for you. you tend to not question your abilities as much using live bait...well i do anyway

used and own both of them. if i had to go buy either again, id be going with the shimano. nothing against the daiwa though, its a great reel

Surge wrasse and some type of morwong?

that is a cracking looking campsite. great fishing too
