Now that's short n sweet - nice work .

Nice work on the newbie @Thorbjorn Hale(caught one before?) and thanks for the report Hamish .

Great session Ray and well done for returning the FAD and all those cans.

I hope you've recovered OK from that harrowing ordeal @Dinodadog all the best with the recovery you poor bu99er ...... .

Yum!!

Nice luderick Hamish, good effort after snagging the net. 

Great looking rod, tell him to send us some pics of the kingies he hauls in .

Very clever. Are they glued into the shaft of the club?

Go the Qld teams! 4 out of 4! I was expecting Magic Round to be Tragic Round for my tipping, but if I hadn’t changed my tip from Souths to Storm at the last minute, it truly would have been magic for me. It won’t last, so I want to enjoy it while it does.

Haha, I was hoping 3 of them would lose for you ......... .

Nice stag, enjoy (for a fair while ).

I had a problem with my Navara that saw me stranded on the highway on Easter Sunday. Th oil cooler that was replaced in December packed it in and consequently the engine got cooked. New head under warranty claim on the oil cooler manufacturer. Won't see her again until June.

I wanted to take Hamish and Charlie out on the Wednesday afternoon, so had to buy a car quickly and have the auto sparky wire in an Anderson plug for the electric winch Wednesday morning. I could have cancelled fishing but....hang on a sec...no I couldn't cancel fishing. haha

So you bought a different car, but are also getting the Navara back in June. What is the new/different car and which one (or both) are you keeping in June?  (Sorry, not trying to sound like your wife ..... ).

Someone has to do it, just like someone has to keep the economy turning over. Well done. haha

We drove past your place of work on the way home and discussed what you may have been up to.

I saw you so yelled at the kids louder (than normal) to ease my internal anger ....... .

Cracking fish and session Wazza, particularly after the disappointing start. Shame the sharks got two of them but glad you got the big one in through some clever thinking/strategy. Nice work!!

Some great advice here. 4.7m is a good versatile length - like @mangajack I'd be interested to know what hull it is. Also, what size motor are you putting on it?

Be careful around the Brisbane River mouth, particularly on an outgoing tide if it is against the wind, as it can get real hairy. I'm not sure what boating experience you have but if you're a new boatie or relatively inexperienced I'd be conservative at first. Also, in the bay, factor in the wind direction versus tide direction as this will have a big impact on your ride experience (which impacts both safety and how wet you get in an open boat).

Put some pics up once you have it .

I think it was a mould he is holding. We got the head after it had been with the  mould dude for more than 12 months!

Yep, looks like a mould and not the actual fish. Plus he looks far too comfortable holding it ..... a 22kg fish would take a lot of holding (I would imagine ........ ). Cracking fish - I would get it taxidermied too. 

Great haul there fellas and magic conditions to cap it off, not envious at all ........ >

Great perseverance there Bob, got the rewards .

Congrats on the longie mate, they're great fun to catch and sounds like you've worked out a trick to hook them . Beautiful time of the year to be camping and fishing over there. Do you mind if I ask where you camped and what mooring the boat was like - does the tide go out far?

I was reading about these the other day, probably on FB, that there appears to be two different batches of them. Talk was that the ones available at Mr Bait and also Watertower Bait & Tackle swim well, whereas others are rubbish. Not sure it it's true or not.

Nice yella Bob, that's how to maximise a small weather window .

Very nice yella,

your luck with the rain was better than mine, it stopped raining, so I went fishing but as soon as I got set up it poured down. lol

Packed up and went home...........then the rain stopped.

You should go fishing out west where they need the rain ...... 

Nice work Ray, glad the forecast held true for you and you got onto a heap of fish, success
