Drop Bear

1 week and 15 years more like it.

Mate that is fantastic. Parenting at its best. Glad you had a great time there. Another friend of mine goes there every year and loves it too. Its a shame all those alleged fish are not real.... POIDH (Pic Or It Didn't Happen) haha jokes. Thanks for the post.

You Sir are a Contributor now... If only I knew what that meant haha.

Oh and from that I am going to guess that it's a Perch

Nice Bream mate well done. Glad to hear you are catching a few. Here is a good guide to Teraglin, Mulloway and Perch. It is from this link https://www.facebook.com/FisheriesQueensland/photos/our-fish-of-the-week-are-teraglin-mulloway-and-river-perchthey-are-frequently-mi/1769214699757559/?_rdr "The shape of their tail is the best way to distinguish between them.Teraglin: Crescent-shaped tail, minimum size limit 38 cm, possession limit of 5 http://bit.ly/2aDrRnnMulloway: S-shaped tail, minimum size limit 75 cm, possession limit of 2 http://bit.ly/2aHy4zMRiver perch: Rhomboid-shaped tail, no size or possession limit http://bit.ly/2akfREP"

Good looking fish there mate, well done.

Hey mate, If you get a small bowl of water you can dunk them in that. I normally don't worry and give them a good clean off when I get back... Most of my reels have short lives however....

Yep water is still dark at Amity. Lots of Tiger Sharks seen around the Jetty. One even got caught in the bathers net yesterday...

Nice one mate. Great to have all bases covered, if the lures don't work.

Do you like to eat the redfin?

Nice one mate. Glad they are back on the bite. It was only a matter of time. What is the photo of the bank for? I was hoping to see a deer?

So good! Well done mate. I am sure it won't be the last now you have the touch. Man that one had a big ugly nose.... I will let you work out what one I am referring to.

Victorinox Swibo is a good one that doesn't break the budget. It is what a lot of pro's use. For me its more about how sharp it is... I used to be good at putting them on the stone and steel, but find I don't put the effort into sharpening that I used to... @Old Scaley did you say the Aldi knife sharpeners are good? Anyone else got a good tip on knife sharpeners?

Yep done this... a few times... No cowling is a noisy run home. Note to self... get better at maintenance.

Mate I love using small poppers for Bream. You need very fine leaders and the smallest poppers you can cast. I like a 2000ish reel with about 4kg braded line and a 2kg leader on a stick as light as you can afford. As for poppers, I don't think it matters what brand you use, Its good to have a few colours though. The trick for Bream is to make sure you give plenty of pauses. Flick Flick pause... and count to at least 5 then flick flick again. For flathead I use soft plastics. 4 inch in a redish colour. a light 2/0 jig head. up the line and leader for flathead as you may hit a 1m version and they will bust any 2kg leader. I like about 5 - 10kg braid and 5 -7kg leader. Flathead like to sit on the edge of drop offs and rock walls. They wait for bait to come to them so look for drains or ledges where small fish might travel to get onto and off sand flats. The trick is to lift the lure off the bottom then let it sink. let it sit for a few seconds then lift it again. The lighter the jig head the better as it lifts it a bit higher and falls a bit slower. For whiting on the incoming tide in about 2 foot of water above yabbie banks, I use small prawn imitation top water lures like splash prawns or sugar pens. These need to be worked the whole time with no pauses but doesn't need to be crazy fast. Rod set up same as bream one above. Hope that helps.

Great weekend so far... except the stupid bunnies....

hahahahaha I hadn't looked at it that way.
