Allnighter

Thanks for the kind words And thanks @samsteele115 ! Go the renegades ay

Yea heading back in now Its getting a bit lumpy atm Just had a small window of opportunity

Decided to get out here before the rain

Nice boat Kat ! Years ago i too had a formosa centre console and it never let me down, it was a great boat and very safe. Just some free advice on the bimini...... i left my bimini on the whole time, i had some "clears" custom made for the front and the sides attached to the bimini and straps. The clears at the front had a zipper in the middle. The clears buttoned along the front to the aluminium. Most of the time the whole bimini and clears stayed down in the folded position to the front of boat and rested behind anchor well, it was out of the way. In cold windy weather or a storm or anchored on a cold night i would simply pull the folded down bimini up into position with the clears already attached and it would instantly convert into a huge half cab sort of idea, you could still see all around because of the clear vinyl - it worked a treat. We would sleep either side of centre console on rolled up foam mattresses. Snug as bugs in rugs !!

Hahaaa Nice going Josh @Cobiaaddict I thought you would pop up soon with sum beauties Yer shame about the winds coming.... damn

Yes it was truly an amazing day on the water thats for sure. Ive had plenty of times like everyone else when the forecast was great but the actual conditions were crap!. I wait ALL year for winter days like today... Frothin..

The sunset pic is near the mouth of the brissy briver

A nice 75cm bay snapper caught 30 mins ago on a nice monday arvo, this one was released to swim another day

No need

Hahaaaaa yea the middle finger was purely a coincidence woooops I must stop biting my nails one day too Squid was the bait

Well, headed out to Green Island solo today to see if the snaps have arrived yet. Water starting to clear after all the recent rain and water temp dropping nicely. It wasnt exactly flat this afternoon, the northerly seemed to kick up a bit more than predicted or so it seemed. Was a bit of a hard slog to gather bait though, i spent 4 loooong hours before scraping together enough bait for a snapper session. 4 hours gathering bait, for a 2 hour fishing session at spot x in 6 metres of water. Well the good news is the snaps are back around the bay shallows again ! 1 @ 65cm and 1 @ 80cm... Happy with 2 for a feed, so i decided to head back in before dusk.

Nice longtail Greg !! Great eating, and keep the frame to cut up into sections ( bones and all ) for great snapper bait. Congrats

Hi Hamish, Thanks for that but $1k a night is a little over the top for me.... I went out to manly boat harbour and asked around in a few offices , but no interest, apparently in 15 years theyve never been asked, they were quite keen to SELL me a boat though hahaaa..... I must be the only one goin nuts with stoopid ideas.... Yes hopefully some snaps veeery sooooooon

Doesnt have to be anything flash either, an old bay cruiser for example maybe?, or an old fixed up trawler? 30 footer or so? Or even a nice yacht would be nice hahaaa

Im probably dreamin.... But just puttin it out there Im on holidays atm. Anyone know how i could find out how i could possibly pay someone to rent their biggish sorta boat for a week or so ? Not to travel anywhere in it, just to have it anchored , say on the northern end of mud out of the southerlies that will be here soon Im keen to take my tinny to tie up to it, do all my fishing around mud island out of my boat, but need a bigger boat to have a warm sleep in, and to cook up dinner and breakfast in. Would pay decent coin for this to happen. Phone 0407831090

Nice catch Simo !!! Not long to go now.... winter is near I have 3 months off soon.... frothin....

Brian, here i was wondering all this time whether you could read or not, or whether you just look at the pretty pictures ....... ☺ Better stock up on the jigs ! Soon, they'll be 79cm ☺ I look forward to it ☺ Don't give up the darts - the pics just wouldn't be the same ☺ lol
