A fall from grace indeed, Jew wrangler one day, grinner whisperer the next, I'm glad you left the sea toad out of it to Brian, hahaha

Went out with @Another Wazza today and he was close to negative 10 with the grinners. Very quiet day that started with a 37 snap to Wazza on a plastic. After that the most exciting thing was loading up the Sabiki jig with some lollipop yakkas and a few pike.

Nice work Hamish.  That snap would have been a very tasty addition to the plate and at 60cm they put up a good account for themselves.
We went out yesterday.  Not much run = not much fun.  Hit Harries and thanks to the benefits of livescope could see there was SFA of any size around at least two of the wrecks.
Went down to Peel west and nothing on the artificial and then had a look at the wreck just near the channel marker - probably 6 or 7 fish over a metre swimming over and around the wreck but they werent tempted by anything.
The only thing biting all day were bloody grinners.   At least it was a nice day.
 

Having access to a tinnie is going to add a whole new dimension to fishing for you guys. Nice work lads!

Top story.
Super photo.
Can't beat catching Snapper.

I think his thumb is pointing up. It’s just behind the fish, so you can’t see it. And I’ve triangulated the wharf and pylons in the background against Hamish and the fish and he’s spot on. 60cms!

Hi all,
I was on a holiday down in Victoria for a week (went for one fish for trout but no luck) and got back last Thursday around midnight. Decided to have a rest on Friday but Saturday morning @Cavvy and I tried a spot on our kayak. We launched at about 5am and arrived at the spot by quarter past, just before the sun rose. We spent the next four hours flicking some shallow diving hardbodies around but unfortunately, we did not catch any threadfin. There was plenty of bait jumping but I guess the fish weren't hungry, so we will have to get them next time. 
Stats of Trip:
Tide: 9:30AM, .6M, Low. 
Moon Phase: 25%
Lures Used: Zerek Pyra and Megabass Oneten R
Air Pressure: 1015
Humidity: 83%
Overall Success Rate: 30% - first session on the river this holidays
The next session was today with @Thorbjorn Hale at The Port, on Thorbjorn's tinny. We launched at around 9am from a very crowded POB boat ramp, and after we got away first thing on the agenda was catching some livies. It wasn't long before we had a fair few mullets gathered so we went out to the wharves and started fishing. 
It was awesome weather, and it was quite flat for as far as I could see. On my first cast my live mullet remained untouched for a fair amount of time before line started screaming off of my reel. Thorbjorn picked up my rod while I wound in my soft vibe and the fish took a good run. I started the fight and the fish was taking some decent runs and had some good headshakes. It wasn't long before I had a nice 60cm or so snapper on the deck of the boat, which we were both happy with (and I was regretting not buying some ice for the esky). After a quick photo we released the snapper and got lines back out. 

Snap
Following this, we each caught a decent sized stingray, but after that the bite went very quiet, so we decided to go and chase some livies at the Poo Chute and try again. We were successful with the herring (despite my substandard cast netting), but back at the spot we couldn't lose a bait, apart from Thorbjorn catching a small shovelly. We moved again, and at this spot we each pulled in a catty, which wasn't a great sign. As we were moving though, we noticed a boat was hooked up to a decent fish. We waited until we saw it, and sure enough the gold of a thready emerged, so it was good to see someone was having some success on the soft vibes. 
We chased a bit more live bait which was fun and had a quick rest before anchoring on the edge of the main channel around the Clara Rock area. Unfortunately for us, this didn't equate to any fish, and the only action was a few nibbles and plenty of waves from the Moreton Island boats. At about five, we decided to call it quits and we drove home. Overall, it was a great day with the weather staying flat for basically the entire day, thanks again for taking me out Thorbjorn!

Bad things come in 3’s, you’ll be right now…… (he says fingers crossed to not jinx rebel)

Hope next week is better Rebel and that you can get back to the fishing soon.

Bl00dy Hell. What a week.
Next week will be good, to balance things up.
 
 

Hi All,
Went to the Doctor to try & get a clearance to go fishing. Forget it was the answer. No rock or beach fishing.
Came home, went to use my printer. Died.
Bought a new printer. Wouldn't work.
I went to my friendly computer guy, with my printer & computer.
Computer was history, not worth fixing.
New computer.
My Puppy is looking at me. Where is my Bream ?
Cheers.

@ellicat, I propose a change to the competition rules. I think we should have Northside, Southside and Neil.

Went for a flathead fish this morning ,but my Lowrance side scan  told me to forget the flathead and fish for something else. 
Ended up getting a nice feed of threadies off the sand in 1.2 m of water. Jess those things go on light gear. Hopefully the photos come up ok as they were beautifully conditioned clean fish.

team south 
Flathead 510mm
Threadfin 1030mm  ,930mm and 965mm
Gave all the fish barring 1 Thready away ,  which I’ll be having with some nice fresh salad tonite.
regards
Neil

Went down the Pin to hunt down a huge threadfin that I dropped at the boat last week, couldn’t find any bait for a couple of hours and missed the bite period . By the time I found some bait it was way too late and had to contend with stingrays ,cat fish , sharks and bream . I did have an unusual visitor though , a small wallaby out for a morning dip.
South side Bream 290mm

Hi legends! 
 
Met the all mighty out at mud Monday morning. The cat was on fire in the morning bagging a big snap and grassy and after a quick repositioning I soon landed a nice 49er

41 cm flatty caught after way too long flicking plastics into the wind. There's a few around as I had several good runs, this is the only one that stuck. Its a skinny fish, but I'm hungry and the boys wanted to learn how to fillet a fish. So I'll be hungry still tonight 🤣
