I’m always down the bottom! lol.

Bloody close one as usual. 

I'm happy landing anything. And getting on the leader board. Until Neil goes fishing again ...... 😂😂

We had a similar day yesterday. The only legal fish was dropped beside the boat. That's fishing.

Took the kayak out up castle hill way. Got this 42cm fella. That was the fruit of my efforts for the day. 0800 till 1400. Flicked a lot of plastic. Might take some bait next time.

Bloody close one as usual.

Arrr Ellicat , I thought you were just leading a northsider up the garden path.
I think it’ll be good in sheltered waters till about 10am ,then it’ll get windy pretty quick.
Fish usually bite well leading up to a  strong southerly , if I get motivated I might give it another crack early tomorrow as well.
The boats packed,  I’ve just got to get motivated tomorrow morning.

Good luck if you get out. It'll be a good way to kick off the May comp.

Thanks for the tip. Once the kids leave for school I might head out Redcliffe way. I usually play in the pine, just shy of Hayes Inlet, so heading further afield might do me some good. I'll play the weather by ear, if its too rough, its too rough. and i might head back to around the pine bridge and try that

Plenty of fish smashing prawns up near the slabs in the pine on Anzac day....brassy trevally, jew and tailor....been a few decent jacks there recently too.
 

By slabs you mean the bridge? Whats by that red marker? Ive always heard its an old wreck, and always see a heaps of boats nearby.

Two bends up past Castle Hill is the slabs.....between the concrete slabs and the rocks before them is a large reef crossing the river......you can't miss it.

The old Xmas tree ...... 😆

Hey guys just a quick question, Is Manly Rock Wall on google maps called Norfolk Point?

Appears to be 👍. Seems like there's a few tailor about there lately.

That is the most popular spot there for squid....and the most accessible.

Nice day and haul, Neil. That southerly chopped things up a bit in the bay today.
@benno573 and I came upon a huge, thick school of herring at the Pin one day. We made the mistake of throwing the castnet. We got about 200 in one cast. 7 out of 8 of them were stuck in the net. It took us a good hour to get them all out. Never again. haha

It was another  solo trip chasing rainbows this morning .
Did a bit of exploring and found a little bit of gold at the end of one rainbow ,down Jumpinpin way.
I also stumbled across a fantastic live bait spot stacked full of herring and huge hardy heads , never seen so many in one small area., the water was literally black and boiling with them .(Those threadfin are now on my short list for May)
Unfortunately I Left my tags and good brag mat in the other boat , so the little jewie didn’t get any jewellery to wear home.
Unfortunately for the  Northside I had an old  measuring device stashed in my rod locker.
SOUTHSIDE 
Flathead 570mm
Mulloway 740 mm 
Big eye trevally 510mm

That's an impressive growth rate!!  I'm yet to catch one - maybe next weekend .......

The Old Scaley one is correct!
Depends on the pasture they live in  but they’re a fast growing fish .

Nine years old.
