Did have a squadron of spotties fly through me in the surf at kawana one day. Thankfully they were chasing bait not being chased!

Way to kill a thread Andrew!
perhaps I should rephrase..
In 2024 I aim to balance the surfing : fishing ratio. I used to surf a lot more. Some years it was most days. In 2023 I surfed once in the entire year and fished about once a month. So in 2024 I am aiming to surf as much as I fish. I’d be happy with 6 surfs to 6 fishes (1:1 ratio) around work and family commitments hence the “fish less” line.
there are many great things about pretending to adult, but alas some of the things you did lots as a youngun have to give!

Wow Ted I’m glad I clicked on the links to your Facebook photos! Some really great fish there - lots of firsts and lots of variety! Love the jobbies and cattle dog cods
I once had a filleter in a fish shop tell me her fave fish to eat were Robinsons sea bream can you report on its eating quality?
your boat looks like a fishing weapon and I’d hate to see your catches when you actually “figure it out”!

My goals are to spend more time fishing with my kids and more time on the kayak. Captures would be a bonus.
also would like to help my “special” (as in the yellow bus kind of special) friend get his first whiting over 40 and first ever threadfin. You know who you are.

Andrew_P got a reaction from ellicat in fiji fishing questions
Should be plenty of options staying on plantation. If not try Fiji Surf Co they will troll you around for a mahi mahi, wahoo or tuna.
the namotu guys have a boat called Cobalt that do a range of fishing but super dooper expensive

Andrew_P reacted to lachrdr in longtail, mack tuna and kingfish
Reading the report by @Tuna are fish inspired me to write a report.
Headed out from the Port around 4.30am on Friday, with the plan to chase a spanish on trolled dead baits around cape moreton.
Was pretty choppy on the way out, but conditions improved throughout the morning. Within 10 minutes of getting the baits in the water we had a hit.
In came a 65cm yellowtail king. I had no idea of the size limit for these as I havent caught one before so it was returned.
The next two hours were uneventful, until we came across a school of mack tuna feeding on the surface.
They were on the chew and we spent a while catching them nearly every cast, with the hope of a bigger longtail lurking beneath.
This was not the case, and eventually we got back to trolling. Had one more hit and run without a hookup.
Time to head home, and about halfway across the bay I saw a large splash, with some birds heading for it.
Then I saw a huge longtail break the surface and excitement levels rose.
First cast with a 40g slug and I was on. Longtails certainly do some incredible initial runs.
After a good fight we had the fish on board. Weighed it the next morning and it was 19kg.
Plenty of meat shared around with friends and family so smiles all round.
Sometimes the target fish doesn't work out, but there is always the chance of decent by-catch in the bay.
Cheers,
Lachlan

Andrew_P got a reaction from jimee in boxing day sales - how much did they cost you this year!
I moseyed into TW too and picked up a Samurai extracta jigging rod for $200. Titanium guides on it woulda cost me about that if I was building it myself!
