Tuna are fish

I see that there are some freshwater fish in the rules from last time.  are tilapia and catfish in it?

Does it work like, if i catch a fish i take a photo with the measurements and post it? and also will tuna types be counted, if so count me in for the north

Did you end up eating them, how’d they taste?

The original post was 14 Years ago, don't expect a response.

Nice mackys you got there.

Just had a look on the website, it is up to the Australian standard AS4758 and has a level 150 compliance, with a one year warranty.  Seems good for anyone needing one.

hey guys its me myles i have a neighbour that feeds the bream floating bread ive tried and caught sme myself but now they get it off my hooks wondering if i should switch to floating lures like cranks and poppers.

Also by the way what type of lure is most effective for bream living in rocky fields and in between pontoons

Try small prawn imitations. 

Is that a 25 Yamaha on the back?

Reminds me of when, years ago, I left some lures to dry on the table on our back deck, and my wife called out to me the next morning in horror because our golden retriever had a treble hook stuck in his bottom lip (just the treble - he'd managed to straighten the split ring trying to get it out of his lip ....... . If he could speak he would have argued that the punishment didn't fit the crime because we decided, seeing as though we had to pay an anaesthetist, that  we may as well have him de-sexed at the same time ........

He's forgiven me and has managed to live to the grand old age of 11 and counting so all's well that ends well ........ .

ur in trouble.

When is that?

Thanks @ellicat for the potential recruit  @Tuna are fish. 

Flyfishing is just another way to spend hard earned cash and not catch fish

 

I love it to bits.

 

Go to a club meeting first and see what type of idiot fly fishes and get some help in casting and advice on gear if you are interested. PM for details of clubs around the area.  BFFC meet at Everton PArk Scouts and the SEQFF meet at Mermaid Waters Bowls CLub.

There is also the Malard and Claret but very Trouty focussed

 

Cheers

Thanks for the info Norm i will have a look at fly clubs near me.  i'm set on gear as dad has got two rod and reel combos that he said i can use a, silstar and a diawa.  they are both around 20-30 years old but are in good shape.  i had a good go and i was able to cast around 10 metres, (idk if this is good or not) i'm mainly going to use it in my local lake to catch talapia, freshwater mullet and maybe carp.

And that's one ugly jewie

becareful what you say, it could be taken out of contexed lol.

I saw it on monday, me and dad were watching it when he suggested to get out one of his old fly rods.

Hi all, i pulled one of dad's old fly rods out of the shed after he said i should try to get tilapia on it.  I have never fly fished before but have a general idea from watching YouTube.  Does anyone here fly fish and if so what helped you start?

Cheers 

I have no clue but it look like it is around 20 years old because boats aren't made like that anymore, try a drag and drop search in google.

this is just an idea, but you could go up to Airlie beach. you will have to go out far, but me and dad caught a few there when we use to live there.

Make sure to post a picture of it after your done so we can get a look.

Most of it frozen some eaten fresh and this lot will last about 2 months before all of it is gone. Nothing like pulling Trout and Lipper out of the freezer to feed the family a couple times of week. We love fish at home and a bit goes to my extended family as well you got to look after mum and dad.

Good to know it is not going to waste.

I don't like to be 'that guy' but i hope none of that fish went to waste, and it all got used not put in a freezer.

Start a petition for fishing activity only past that time or something like that or find a new fishing spot.  Nothing much you can do.

Pity about the lack of fish. 100 litres is a heck of a lot of fuel to use in the bay. What motor do you have?

We have an old 75 mercury. but we do use av gas from dad's work.

Just googled it it is a really nice boat.
