Please note, your little finger cannot be used as a measure.

It's an honesty system, but I'll be looking closely at your submissions. 🤣

Do you have to prove it is your finger? DNA?

No teenagers neighbours where we live . . . my youngest son qualifies and comes out occasionally . . .when he's not working or partying!
I have done and they sent well wishes!

Hi all
Snuck up to the Sunnycoast near Dunethin Rock on the Maroochy River with @charlie.hans.fishing on Boxing Day. Plan was to fish in Dunethin Lake and the surrounding area of the Maroochy River to try for a few flatties and maybe a jack if one came by. We arrived mid arvo on Boxing Day and went down for a fish around mid tide, flicking plastics off of the lake jetty.
I was off the donut first after we had each had a couple of missed hits with a little flatty. We continued flicking for another hour before it started to rain - just as this happened Charlie got a little flatty too. Decided to go to the beach for a swim that arvo but the next morning we were fishing again.
We started off canoeing around the lake a bit to no avail, so went had a cast around the opposite bank of the river to the mouth of the lake. I think Charlie got a spotted grunter here and one or two flathead (one that was legal sized). These put up a decent fight as he caught them casting in some shallow water near a snag. 
I got off the donut with a small flatty that liked my 2.75 inch Froff Bait paddle tail while we were drifting in the canoe (it was my first time using these lures, they're alright) but didn't manage to catch much more that day. I think we had another flick down at the lake jetty for nothing. It was very hot and unpleasant fishing, and with a lot of rain around the area recently too the mosquitos were very bad... It was nice going down to the beach again that arvo.
The next morning we had a quick flick around the bank opposite the mouth of the lake again. Here, Charlie got a bream on a plastic while we were drifting on the canoe along the bank. After a few more drifts and with a lot of tide/wind action making us drift very fast, we decided to go and have a cast at the deepest section of the lake. 
A ways into our first drift, Charlie hooked up to something decent. It was pretty heavy and quick, he hooked it in shallow water near the mangroves. Unfortunately, just as we were about to see it the hooks pulled. Bugger. I had another good hit on this drift, before later in the morning catching a flatty around the 40 mark. My Dad also had a cast on his canoe somewhere that morning and got an undersize barred grunter on a plastic.
We tried for a bit longer but the heat and mosquitos were pretty unbearable so we decided to go back to the campsite, pack up, and go home!
Thanks for reading, although the fishing was a bit quiet it was still good to get a few hookups. The next day I was sick and have just recovered enough to go fishing now so will try in the river tomorrow. 
Cheers Hamish

Thanks for the welcome GregOug much appreciated. They called me fatboy from the day i was born so guess i will stick with it hey!

Hey, I was working on using the Fatboy title! Especially over Christmas.
Welcome aboard!

Top report.
Try fishing with the Teenage neighbours. You know you are alive.
Happy New Year.
Say hello to the Guys, if you get a chance.
Cheers.

Thanks ABF, they are fun!  Mostly they go pretty hard on light gear.

I think when fishing with mates its something shared, enhancing the friendship. 
A bit of friendly banter is always on!
Yes, pretty much exclusively chase Luderick. 
Our childhood holidays, many years ago now, were mostly fishing and many times a month away in Nthn NSW fishing for Luderick.
So Luds fishing holds a special place for me.

Went for a harbour session on Friday with a mate, as much for a catchup as for the fishing.
Got some bait thanks to the local council having not cleaned out an ocean pool for a while,
Fishing was slow with only 4 luds caught in the 4 hours we were there, but they were all 30-35cm's . . . perfect eating size.
We both got 2 each.
Good morning float watching and catching up with a mate.

Sounds like a great day with your mate!

If you haven't heard, a boat carrying 11 people capsized near Green Island yesterday arvo, I think during the storm. Seems that 8 people were rescued, two were found dead (RIP) and the search for the remaining person was called off at midnight last night, with the search resuming this morning at first light. Terrible storm yesterday, enough to turn over what sounds like was a 39ft cruiser. Thoughts are with the families of those involved and please say a prayer that the remaining missing person is found. Very sad 😢.

If you look at Google. Fishing at Nambucca. All the info. is there. Just be aware of NSW fishing rules & limits.
Happy fishing

Hi All,
It has been raining all week on the Coast.
Overcast this morning. Arrived just after high tide.
Whiting were the go.
Bit slow to start. Had to move around.
First one 32cm. Ended up with six, all around 30 to 34 cms.
Bait was blood worms.
Norah Head for breakfast. Great coffee.
The Sun was coming out as I Ieft.
Cheers.

Hi All,
They wanted to go fishing & bring a Mate along who hadn't been fishing before. So I had to set up 4 rods around 7ft to 8ft plus reels
Just what I needed. I said the Rocks were out. Their Mothers were happy.
We arrived at the Entrance just before sunrise & the crowds. This place has a wharf so it is popular with children.
Flathead territory, also whiting & bream.
The go is to fish under the roadway bridge away from the crowds.
We ended up with 6 flathead, 2 whiting & I caught 2 bream. Puppy will be happy.
Bait was Blood worms, squid & nippers.
The new guy learnt very quickly. He caught 2 fish.
Top morning. Lots of laughs.
We left around 9am. The crowds were arriving.
Cheers.

Nice session followed by a nice surprise. You must have been good for Santa. haha

Hi All,
Received a call from my Mate in the East. The Ben is calling.
Arrived around sunrise. The water was calm, which is unusual for the Ben.
Caught a boninto first up, then a nice snapper.
Two more bonito, released them.
Ended up with one more snapper.
My mate caught 3 snapper, he was happy.
Bait was fresh squid.
My mate said I have a surprise for you. Park your car at my place. we are going somewhwere. I am glad I had a a change of clothes with me.
We arrived at the RMYC at PT. Piper where I met a Mate of his, who owned a bar crusher.
I was told we going to watch the Sydney to Hobart race. Haven't been on Sydney Harbour for years.
Top day out. Great guys.
Lots of laughs. Very enjoyable.
Cheers.
