    Nice one Mark - we've only stopped in there but never stayed but want to add it to the list sometime. The ad in the Bush n Beach for the charter with accommodation for a week is very tempting and something my family (brothers and parents) want to do sometime. Glad to hear you were up to the challenge to have a drink in each establishment mate ...... 🙂   Oh and geez you can't half tell you two are brothers - where does he live?

    Headed out from Mooloolaba last week in some nicer weather. Well it might have been a bit too nice as the fish weren’t playing the game! Fished hard all day for a couple of tuskies, Maori cod, Moses, a nice snapper and the biggest hussar I’ve ever seen!
    Between 6 of us on two boats we kept about 20 reefies for the day. 
    Conditions were so nice my spearo mate was foaming at the mouth to jump in, even after we saw a decent shark on one of the spots! 
    Brilliant day on the water nonetheless. 
    Mmmm fish tacos!

    Just got back from Evans Head with the caravan what a top spot the van park has. It has the river and surf as 2 borders of the park and on the other borders you have the Rsl, pub, surf club and bowls club. 

    As I have never been there before I took this as a challenge to visit everything. So I had a drink in all the establishments and fished both the river and surf.
    My brother also brought his van down as well as his roof topper tinnie so both he and our partners went fishing up river. The girls outfished us and got some big whiting and a nice flathead which fed us for dinner.

    We fished off the northern wall which was 300m from camp but had no luck.


    We went up to razor back lookout for beers and niblies with a spectacular back drop ,  it was good to see the position of everything. Then after we bought some ocean king prawns from the Co op to finish off our bellies. Here is the rainbow touching the lookout I was hoping it would bring me luck

    The last day to keep it simple we pumped yabbies off the beach right in front of camp and fished off the bank for more good size summer whiting. The river itself is loaded with these yabbies banks more than I have ever seen in any estuary I have been on and each 1 loaded with yabbies.
    It is a destination I will be going back to with plenty of natural beauty and of coarse plenty of fishing options.

    Use the search function on the site here and 1770 should bring up plenty of reports. The town is a great launch point to good fishing close in and the bunker group which is the southern end of the great barrier reef.

    Just got a new rod and reel set up for 1770 with my wife and daughter coming I want to see them pull some big red fish. Got a shimano tyrnos 16 I will load with 40lb braid on a Gary Howard g force extreme 30 to 40lb action.
    This feels like a perfect balance outfit can't wait to see it used in anger.

    Very, very similar to my combo Mark although I think I have 50lb braid on it. It's on a Gary Howard custom rod. You've just reminded me I need to contact my brothers - work is taking up too many of my brain cells ATM ....
