Actually, well done KM. Getting a good round score is nigh on impossible in my view, let alone picking a perfect round.

kmcrosby78 reacted to Ed. in Big Tiger spotted at Urangan Jetty
Haven't heard of any large Tigers here before, but no reason they shouldn't be here, quite a few bronzies here, I saw one when I was on the jetty that morning, much smaller version, I didn't get a good look at it but from what I saw it wasn't all that big, still it would have been doable on smaller gear.

Hahaha.
My kids were out there at Easter and asking why noone was jetty jumping.
They thought it was because there were no stairs to get back up onto the jetty.
I explained that there is no stairs because the authorities do not want people swimming there due to the shark population.
My PB sighting of a tiger was on the other side of Fraser, out on the Gardiner banks.
He's a local out there I'm told, and he would be up around, possibly over the 5m mark.
I'll never forget the size of that huge blacked out eye as he glided effortlessly under the boat about 10m down.
It was a 5.5m boat and this thing was just as long.
They're like mobile reef systems with the amount of fish that hang off them.

Yeah, no chance. @Terry H used to target the ones at Moreton on his 80W and epic battles ensued with a few landings on the beach. Wouldn't happen at the jetty, like you said, Ed.
I would have thought they would be more commonly seen there ??

Yesterday I had to wait for my car to be fixed at Urangan Hervey bay, and had some time to kill so went for a walk to the jetty as I haven't been there for a while. Talking to the locals near the end, and apparently there has been a very large Tiger shark hanging around there for a couple of days. One of the locals saw it relatively close up and said it was about 4m long and about 1m wide across. It was going for a mackerel he had in the water and had to yank it up quickly.
My first thought was I should get my 50W out and have a go later that night but then reality set in, what would I do if I was even managed to hook it? The Urangan jetty isn't really set up to release big fish, there is a lot of height under the jetty and trying to maneuver such a large shark to the start of the jetty and onto the sand would be next to impossible as it is over 1km away. So gave up on that idea as it would be too futile.
No doubt plenty of guys will try to target it but don't think anybody will succeed, they will need a very large reel and the biggest I saw there was a TLD25 so not even in the running, even a 50W is probably way too small especially from the a jetty, will keep my ears open if it hits the news 😁.

Well, thanks KM. I didn’t want to blow my own trumpet but it is nice of you to recognise my achievements. 🤪

Just realised I forgot to say well done to those very, very clever people (or is that 'person' ...... 🤔🤪😃) that managed to pick three upsets last week to nail a perfect round. Well done - you know who you are ........... 😜

I was suppose to go mackerel /reefy yesterday morning ,but my mate who was taking me in his boat cancelled with a sore shoulder at the last moment . Since I had that all important leave pass organised ,I went and dug a few worms and had a whiting fish last night . Could not find any decent ones , but scratched up a nice feed of whiting. Got a beautiful little juvenile mulloway and a little lizard as by catch , which were tagged and released .Managed to upgrade team south’s whiting slightly.
whiting 350 ,345,350mm
mulloway 405mm
flathead 385mm

kmcrosby78 reacted to ellicat in BOM smoking grassy reefer
Got a good feed of one of the best fish on the plate, so worth the trip.
We too were tricked by the forecasters. I headed out to Harry's with son Mitch. He got seasick after getting smoked twice by very good fish. Launched about 4.30, returned to ramp at 7.15 wet, shaken, and cold. Met @Another Wazza out there too. He battled on in the conditions.
How far out did you go to get a Pearly ?

kmcrosby78 reacted to Andrew_P in BOM smoking grassy reefer
Had today booked for a rare fishing trip with my brother in Yewgary after seeing the forecast earlier in the week. We kept a close eye on the forecast sites particularly BOM MetEye which showed very fishable conditions. Woke early and checked the observations. Wind, swell and a few showers but with the forecast promising we decided to go.
well we punched out 1/4 the way there and it was gross. BOM totally smoking the reefer! We changed plans and stayed in close drifting some broken ground, waiting for the weather to improve.
things were slow for me but my brother managed a fish on each of the first 3 drifts. I picked up a small grassy on drift 4 and then we decided to inch out a bit deeper. Well it was windier and rougher as expected and I wasn’t feeling great. Been crook a couple of times at work on boats but this was next level! Still managed to fish and got smoked out here before picking up another 2 grassies. Next drift my bro changed lures and got an instant hookup on a freight train - straight into the reef! Bruised battered and busted up we called it a day. Limped home with our tails banged up to our ears and a few fish in the box. Got back on dry land and the sea sickness remained. Battled the nausea home and into bed with a bucket, woke up 4 hours later with a cracking headache, aches and pains and still feeling like praying to the porcelain pisser!

Thanks for the report Hamish, I was down there late Sunday arvo for a few snapps and a flathead plus the damn tailor that are everywhere lately.
Time to give the Bris River a spell and sus out some other grounds I used to fish in the 70's and 80's.....one spot threw up a 88cm snapp last Friday night I heard....land based as well.
