Don’t worry, @Drop Bear is onto it 😎

Anything to bring in more climate change BS, I can't trust the "research" done by scientists these days, every result is about getting grants and furthering the agenda.
I miss the days when scientists had to actually defend their findings.
They completely stuffed up darwin harbour with the dredging for the LNG export, but they don't dare research that, or even look into it.

Somewhat debatable some of the statements.
Weed beds are flourishing in some areas that have not seen weed beds in many decades....between Deception Bay and Scarborough plus Hayes Inlet.
We have had very large flushes in the Pine River numerous times since 2011....2011 saw every worm bed upstream of Deepwater Bend scoured to rock or gravel. Yet the weed beds are thriving in Hayes Inlet.
In the deeper parts of the bay it has been a lot of mud on the bottom from before the 50's when my uncle was operating a prawn trawler. He targeted the mud bottoms for the prawns then.
Yes there is a lot of siltation in the bay but this guy overstates the amounts.
There is more sediment appearing in front of Redcliffe these days....but that was really first noticeable when Fishermans Island was created and we lost directional tide changes north of Margate Beach...resulting in nearly all water movements there being a slow north to south current.
The flats in front of the airport through to Eventide is still the same dirty sand I always remember, no muddier.
North Pine Dam and Wivenhoe Dam catch most of the siltation upstream of their catchments. So really most of the siltation of the bay is coming from below those two dams.
The weed beds between Deception Bay and Bribie are constantly refreshing themselves....yes they do have a bit of die back after a flush but return quickly with new growth in the months afterwards.

We really do need to restore shellfish reefs to Moreton Bay. You can help. https://ozfish.org.au/projects/moreton-bay-shellfish-reef-restoration/

Everyone needs to eat a lot more oysters!

Just posting this in case some people didn’t see it.

I have it. Apparently it was penned by Robbie Farah and Benji Marshall, drawing on the old Balmain and Wests songs. Pretty rubbish tbh, but happy for occasions to sing it being more commonplace.

There are plenty of land based opportunities and their can be a wonderful variety of tasty fish there along the rocks. I generally fish with a long rod (10'6" or more) as you need to get away from the small fish that hang in close. For us it produces squire, grassies, legal spangled emperor, estuary cod, mulloway, mangrove jacks, purple spotted tuskfish, black spotted tuskfish and lots of other stuff. I generally use a 2/0 or 3/0 hook of a set of 3/0 gangs and vary my sinker based on the run. 

Nice to hear that they got a great fish. Well done on taking them out and providing them with the opportunity and knowledge to catch it.

Thanks Greg,
If it was the same fish it's shite outta luck this time because we kept this one as it was a bay pb for the person i took out with me who is terminally ill. We used to fish together a long time ago and it was great to see the smile on his face

@ellicat, as a loyal, long-suffering supporter, did you get faxed a copy of the team song so you could try to sing along .......... ? 🤔🤣.

Both graveyards for good footballlers (Tigers and Dogs) had a win. Bizarro season already. 

You only need to catch it once more to cover off the whole snapper section for the month. 

Actually... i just remembered we released the last one so perhaps it is the same one wtf???
Same spot, so go figure? 
What are the odds of that?
Holy **** i need a JD, i just gave myself a headspin 🤣

Snapper for team south, almost identical to other one but its not the same fish, but might spark some controversy for team north to whinge about lol 😁

Stitch up lol

It’s not who you know. It’s how much you pay them @Bretto77. 😂

Talk about being pipped at the post by @Kat. She hasn't even had to put up a photo 🤣

Get that up up your Cronulla.

Tough round for tippers this week. Good luck (but not too much) fellas.
