The Mad Hughesy

well here we go... time to make plenty of enemies... @ellicat @Old Scaley @kmcrosby78
From July 2019, my colours have changed.  After being a lifetime member of the southern burbs, I now reside on the north side of the river.  As such, to follow the rules, I will be representing team northside this time.  i know several of you will be disgusted and will look to disown me etc... but whatevs. it is what it is. 
things i miss since moving
- quick and easy access to gold coast
- access to arterial roads (when not peak hour)
- my very cost effective local fruit shop
 
Things i don't miss
- air traffic
- hearing the trucks on the gateway all night long
- paying gateway tolls to get anywhere northside
- hearing "3 car accident on the M1 at greenslopes" on the traffic report and losing the will to live
 
and following on from the above, @ellicat @Old Scaley - any decky spots available during the comp?? 😘 

Just photo and cm. All the rules etc will be explained in detail on the comp post next week

no firm date yet, depends on the poll result. What i can say, is that it will not start until the snapper clousre ends. If the poll indicates on longer round, i will probably run it for 4 weeks. gives the weekend warriors plenty of chance to fish!
might even try to organise a get together after the comp

Also does anyone know when it’s going to start and end? Or have we not got a official start to end date yet 

bingo, thats right. Longest fish wins against a bunch of smaller fish.

just spraypaint yellow and submit as a yellowbelly

all about picking your days and watching the weather while out and about. being safe is as much about the skipper as it is the boat.

nah stuff the new members...haha ofcourse mate! Last comp link is below. But basically, its a free online fishing competition open to everyone that originally started to mimic the state of origin. Two teams (North and South) with the Brisbane river being the dividing border. Multiple species allowing anglers of all abilites (land, kayak or boat) to fish in the comp. The team with the majority winning categories wins the comp. No prizes, just bragging rights. 
 
 

Well everyone....its back
SUBURBS OF ORIGIN is back in 2020!
Firstly id like to apologise for not running it last year, was a busy one for me!
Ive got a few new ideas for this year, but firstly, id like input from the members. Should Suburbs of Origin have 3 rounds like previous years, or have it as one round running over a few weeks. Personally id rather have it as one longer round. The comp will be mostly the same as years gone by for species, just thinking a change of comp length. Let me know what you think! ill let this poll run for about a week before releasing the comp in further detail.

Good luck! Hope they are biting

yeah id be super cautious with a small motor. youd probably find that they will only let you go to certain spots with the boat anyway. still lots of fun to be had with flathead, bream etc close in. Even floating out a live bait close to the shore could land you a tuna, mackerel or cobia just on the sand flats. ive seen blokes catch cobia when shark fishing form the beach! 
 
having said that, if you want to chase some good game style fish...i know its winter but there are still sharks around which put up a great fight!

i pump mine here at low tide only. there is alot of area covered in yabby holes. doesnt mean you get them with every pump though!
sometimes is hard work. but give it 20mins or so and you will get enough for a session!
