The Mad Hughesy

Great day out, thanks again Ray.
after many trips out to the dam, I finally popped my yellow belly cherry!

First spot we tried Rick pulled in 3 fish whilst we watched and that was that we hung around for a while trying to locate them but all in vein.
  Couple of other likely spots were also bare .
We found some at Andrews drop off but they were scarce taking a hour to boat 20 bass so next spot was out in front of the fig tree where we had a hot bite before leaving them biting. Tally for the day was 85 bass and I once again the tandan king
Some of the redclaw pots were good and others left us with a warm and fuzzy feeling because the poor starving sharefarmers needed a feed.

thats te second time in as many days that ive heard good things about this lure. Might have to grab a pack

gday Ray,
 
id love to come on out again with you if the spot is still available?

fantastic. Might even bake up a fresh batch of brownies for the boat to bring with me

still avail

Working on a plan. 
 

Went for a quick session after work in the passage. Managed two small tiger squid in 1.5hrs. Very picturesque spot to fish on sunset too, love a QLD winter
spotted a monster arrow squid but couldn’t tempt it to bite. Just out of curiosity, when spotlighting them, is it best to keep the torch light not directly on them? I’ve found that when I keep the light on them,  that they tend to shy away quickly

haha you cheeky bugger
valid point though. otherwise 20 northsiders could catch a 24cm bream each which would beat one 40cm southside bream. So im thinking the best fish from each side is counted, that way its not about the number of fish caught and still about the best fish caught.

Sounds like an elaborate ploy to turn all the northside fish that normally finish 2nd, 3rd etc into valuable commodities ......... Just joking ..... very open to ideas 🙂 

that rings a bell in my head too, ill try that next time i go down there

the thought crossed my mind as i watching Game 1. Given ive missed the first game, i might adapt it to a single round, but as you suggested for a longer period.
Also toying with the idea of a different scoring system. So rather than the "biggest" of any category, have some sort of scoring system for every species caught. that way, everyone can contribute to their "teams" total. Still trying to figure out the best way to run that.

i had that same issue last year, still yet to crack the secret. Ive heard of blokes throwing spears at them in the shallows!

waiting for the barrage of abuse now...
neither, it was an exploring mission to see if they had showed up yet. might try and grab a couple tomorrow for dinner this weekend
