Just leave it in demo mode - it will never look better.

I think that’s what it is in, given the fish caught results so far. It shows them as there, but they never are.

Just saw this post on Facebook.

Are you into recreational boating?

Maritime Safety Queensland wants to hear your thoughts on the demand for recreational boating facilities, feedback on our current facilities and suggestions about new facilities throughout the state.

I will try and remember to remind you again on Monday

Anyone have any suggestions on the best person to contact to set my sounder up properly and show me how to use it correctly?

Okay so I am gonna get so much flack from this post - but when the fish were filleted, there was as much flesh recovery from the MILF as possible.  I Froze the big pieces of fillet for later and kept some of the "offcuts" to fry up with the tuskie.  I actually enjoyed the MILF more than the tuskie

And I had the MILF frame which I baked in the oven along with the flounder and tuskie. I got quite a bit of meat from around the bones of the MILF due to its size. I’d say the flounder was best with the MILF and tuskie on a par. So I tend to agree with you. They are underrated.

I have been surprised many times at the various places I have caught a flounder.  

Maybe when Greg books his "sounder tutorial" he will have more of an idea of what is down there?

This is your official reminder Greg

I’ll probably need more.

I was worried ..... particularly when it started with '@GregOugand I headed out for a session' ..........  .

Great session you pair with some tasty captures and a nice, big MILF . Assume you must have been fishing the edge of the structure to also pick up a flounder, unless it's scattered rocks, etc.

We have absolutely no idea what’s down there, but I was certainly surprised by the flounder.

Thanks Greg and not a problem regarding being disqualified for next year's comp. As luck would have it, I've been invited to enter a high calibre comp which will hopefully have good depth (ie. no weak tipsters ........ ).

I wouldn’t get too high and mighty KM. I mean, I came seventh, which shows the standard of your opposition this year.

Good luck next year. We will remember you. 

What  was your name again?

Works for me.

Great report KM.

Have you been out in her since you got it back from the mechanic yet?

Oh dear. Those ratings are just given to satisfy the embryonic minds of the lesser amoebas. It keeps them happy while we highly evolved amoebas can get on with working out how to become multi-celled. 

Well. It has finally happened. I have now left amoebas in my dust! I have now evolved into a, wait for it……, wait for it……,

Starfish!
Quiver in fear, you mere mortals!

It was things you do for your wife NOT things you do for

your wine. You'll have to go to Specsavers Greg.

No. I meant I need the wine to refocus the topic… Ah, forget it. Lol.

I thought this topic was going a whole other way. Waiting for @GregOug to chime in and kick it off.

I would have @Hweebe. But I ran out of wine. 

Well done Hamish!

Welcome @boleropilot!

Congrats. Although unfortunately, now that we've progressed to halfway through the finals series and only the real elite teams are left in the competition, the rules have now changed and as such, only the real elite tipsters (those within 5 points of the lead) are allowed to 'clutter things' ..... hope you understand ........ 

Rules? Changed again? Are you sure you’re not a referee?

On this topic, I hate to be rude Greg, but now that the serious games have started, it'd be appreciated if you and the others that aren't within 10 points of the lead would not clutter things so that me and my skilled adversaries can converse in our talented dialect ........ Feel free to watch on, bask in our wisdom and hopefully reap the rewards of our sharing when next year comes around though ...... . After all, we don't want to appear to be snobs or big heads .... .

I’m sorry our occasional posts are cluttering your thinking KM. I’ll try to keep my words to monosyllables in future so that you higher powers can make your monumental decisions without interruption.

And, actually, if you check the leaderboard I am within ten points KM. Watch out! I’m comin’ for ya!

So excluding the pesky jetskis & sailboats - QLD has 215,922 registered powered boats or 4.1% of QLD population (some lucky people may have multiple boats) so say 4%. Or 1 in 25 QLD'er have access to a boat for recreational purposes.

This of course won't include unregistered tenders / tinnies under 6hp

(Population (google) for QLD 5.185 million)

 

No wonder I can’t find any fish!

Apparently another boat hit a whale outside of Moreton this week. One guy has a broken back.
