Thanks for the advice, much appreciated. As it’s new territory for me. Young bloke would of stayed out all day! So looking forward to many more hours in the boat.

Got the boat out on Saturday to take my son out (turns 5 in a few months). Put the boat in at Shorncliffe and decided to head up to Scarborough Reef. Only caught underside fish (Bream & Squire), a single winter whiting plus a few Sharks. Son caught a shark on his little kids ugly stick combo by himself. Shark was around 70cm long, it made his day and he can’t wait to tell his friends. I was impressed that the little combo did the job. is it worth fishing Scarborough reef? Or is it fished out and I should try else where? looking forward to finding a few spots close by plus a few further out also! Was great to finally get out on the water again!

Been a long time since I chased flatties on lures, around 15years. Caught most of them on crawdad hard bodies and double tail mr twister soft plastic grubs. for the hard bodies, I liked something 50-100mm long that dive deep enough so it would hit along the bottom. After finally getting a boat and visiting a few tackle stores, since you don’t see many of the lures I mention I’m sure there are better things out there. Look foreword to seeing what people recommend!

1. Roosters 2. Souths 3. St George 4. Broncos 5. Storm 6. Panthers 7. Sharks 8. Cowboys

It’s a second hand boat. 480 Outsider Stessco, fitted the budget and has the high sides to suit the young kids. its been so long since I’ve done some serious fishing, I’m pretty excited. cant wait to explore the bay, will keep you updated on the trips once I get out

Thanks for the welcome messages. Bought the kids lifejacketsband a few things today. Just need to wait for the weather! When can you expect Tailor in the northern part of the bay?

Hi fellow fisherman, Finally took the plunge and bought a boat last weekend a 4.8m open tinny with a 60hp 4 stroke. So looking forward to exploring the bay chasing mackerel, tailor and some snapper. Grew up spending all my fishing time in Pumicestone Passage, so the bay is new and enjoy reading reports and topics on this forum. As I get back into fishing looking forward to also contributing. Cheers, Towknee
