I would love to be a part of the comp..

Gidday Elli 31. When I was soldier a lot of years ago now one of the bases I was stationed at was Balcombe army camp. We used to fish off the rocks at Mount Martha and got a lot of Ling fishing at night. We fished with Bonito as we were after snapper but got ling. It may still fish like it did years ago.. All the best

Fished the area around Jacobs well and Behms creek the weekend ,got a Bream and some Threadies but not much else. Dropped a nice Mangrove Jack so the area is fishing okay. Plenty of mossies and sand flies. Prawns seem to be the best bait and the first 2 hrs of the run in tide. You can get some good bait at the Gem and tackle. Buzzard.. 

To reply to all those comments.. The shorts even saw a Test match at the Gabba in the 80s..It did taste not to bad ,succulent white flesh similar to a Ling or other Cod like species..When I hooked this fella it did not put up a fight at all as I thought I was dragging in a lump of weed. I know there are some of you elderly gents like me who have fished Whalleys gutter, that's where I caught this bloke plus a couple of Grunter. I am on my way to the Well this weekend.Leaving from Behms creek and try for some flatties or Jacks..Buzzard  

I thought I would put this up even though it was a number of years ago. I caught this Stargazer while fishing for Flathead where I lived for some 22 years at Jacobs Well. It used to be great fishing there years ago but things have to change. I never heard of anyone catching anything like this since. Cheers Ya'll..

Fishaman that is similar to the haul I got off double island point. Is that a Tailor I see in there?Well done...Buzzard

Fished Peel the Australia day weekend let you fishers know Tuna were on the chew but the men in the grey suits were there also. Lost most of the tuna to bull sharks and the very fast blacktips. Unable to recover much in the way of Longfin tuna..

This was on my mates 25' boat but I believe they do run charters in that area. Next stop is the 50's off the Gold coast when this bloody wind drops...

Ellicat the rig was a bottom basher Paternoster with about 12inches between sinker and between the  two hooks but when there on like this you could use just about anything. There was a medium SOUTH TO NORTH drift .

Hey Drop bear..Are the Logan and Albert clubs looking for new members. I have retired and looking for someone to go fishing with..Cheers

I fished Wivenhoe dam over weekend in between the storms we were not supposed to have. Only throw backs were caught and mainly Aussie Bass. We did get some large Redclaw which we cooked up and ate whilst holding the tent on the ground. I am saddened to hear of the Death of the Caretaker chap I was speaking to on Saturday during one of the storms whom passed away in a fire last night on the property. RIP old mate....

Hey all. Has anyone fished Wivenhoe lately and what lures have been used out there. Might go out with my Kayak in 2 weeks as I have been overseas for a while. Great to get some info...Cheers Buzzard

What is the fishing like at Hastings point this time of year. Going down in two weeks..I will take the Kayak as well..Cheers

Hey Drop Bear. Mate after years in the catering game and Whiting Caprice as a regular menu item people enjoyed the banana and the fish taste together. Have a crack at it mate..

This recipe I used back in my Chef days. You need  a Whiting fillet ,flour, bread crumbs, banana and egg wash. Method.. Slice banana in half and place it on the skinless side of the whiting fillet. Coat with flour then place in the egg wash which is a couple of eggs mixed together with a drop of milk added to the eggs. After placing in the egg wash transfer to the bread crumbs with a generous coating then fry in oil of your preference so the fillet is just submerged under the oil. Garnish your plate then drain whiting for a minute then plate up with lemon and a sprinkle of Paprika..Bon Appetito
