Yew nice fish mate. Well done. 

IMHO If you catch one in the Noosa you can add 10cm as its a very heavily fished river.   so that is a stonken 95cm flatty. (that's how maths works right?)

Brrrrrrrrr..... Oh well your 3 fish beat my working. Good on you legend. 

It was nice to see you out on the water mate. and I saw you again today... time to go buy a lotto ticket.  

Well done putting in a huge day! Sorry you didn't get a larger snapper but it will come. 

My mate is out at Green tonight and I bailed as I am a wus and have an early start tomorrow... I fully expect a photo of a 90+ snap waiting for me on the phone in the morning

Basically if you are minding your own business and not inconveniencing / impeding other passengers you will be fine.

That is my take away lesson for life I reckon.

I caught a blue ringed octopus years ago near the port. Thought it was just some sludge initially. Ended up keeping it for a couple of weeks at home feeding it on yabbies. Let it go back in the river. Quite a pretty creature.

That is really cool. We get them on the lease from time to time.

I remember watching that show a while ago. At first I thought wow, that is amazing. Then I thought about it and realised that I had fallen into the trap that a good nature documentary never does - the anthropomorphic idea that animals are only here for our pleasure and see and feel things the way humans do. So we have, let’s face it, a bit of a nut job free diving in freezing water and having a quasi sexual relationship with a creature that is so crazy that it beats itself to death after reproducing. We are supposed to believe that an animal which has no understanding of what humans call love takes a fancy to this dropkick who doesn’t know how to live out of the water. Who knows why the octopus behaved the way it did? 

Harsh review, I know. Having said all that, it does make a great story and anything that shows pictures of live fish taken underwater gets my attention. Now Paul the octopus that could predict Germany’s fate in the soccer World Cup some years ago, that was a real octopus!

Good article, Brian.

I started to write a similar thing... but chickened out  

I used to (and still do a little) work in the film industry. It has wrecked movies like the Octopus teacher for me...

Thanks for the article Brian. It was a good read. 

Who's caught an octopus before?

Cheers Hamish

I have accidently caught plenty but I want to catch more of them but on purpose. 

I did spear one years ago at a friends place in Sydney. His mum gave me a hard time... and I wasn't aloud to eat it... Therapy has helped.

Did anyone see the game last night? What was the score?..............

For those playing along at home, Reynolds is out of tonight’s game against the knights. Replaced by debutant Ezra Mam. People other than me or @Drop Bear may wish to revise their tip. You’re welcome. 

oops

I havent properly looked at the wind but if they are SErs you could do Harvey Bay. Stay at Teebing and fish the reefs and bait balls?

Crazy. 

Is there nothing an occy cant do? Delicious, great bait. What more could you want?

If they wanted to win, they would have done it. At least they would have found new players and even coaches... But they don't want to. They just play their game, have fun, get money

Qld team trifecta. No wonder they call it magic round.

So good. I hope this bodes well for Origin....... but somehow I still picked 4 losers haha. 

Cobbo and Oates combined for five tries, 429 running metres, seven tackle breaks and three line breaks as Brisbane also sparked flashbacks to the 44-10 thrashing of Manly in the club’s first premiership match in 1988 at Lang Park.

“I just moved on and turned up to training and just worried about the game. I tried to put in for the boys and do my job and help out the team,’’ Cobbo said.

@Gad I bet you are loving this score line . Can’t believe Manly we’re favourites for this, particularly given Brisbane were at home. Crazy. Broncos gelling well and you can really see the confidence they have now. Souths must be ruing letting Reynolds go ……  Oh and @Drop Bear, tame your celebrations down slightly, I can’t hear the commentary…..

No.

If you can eat McDonald's then you'll have no problem with anything out of the Brisbane River. 

Fantastic perspective. I like it.

I do customer service in a seafood shop

Perhaps if you got one of the filters in the shop to help you sharpen your knives it will help you fillet them? You look like you have the idea of it but the knife looks like it let you down a bit. Good on you though, not bad for the first go.

Good on ya mate. That looks delicious!!! Fish with rice is a new goal for me. Yum.

Thanks for the post. 

Nice one mate. Glad you are back into them.
