  1. Thanks ED. Much appreciated.
  2. I believe patents aren’t cheap either. Especially if you need to get a patent attorney involved.
  3. Yeah. I’d be worn out lifting a 37kg fish, let alone fighting it.
  4. Hi all, I have a favourite old rod which needs the reel seat securing to the blank. It turns around when it shouldn’t and misaligns the runners with the reel. I also have an Alvey 725 deep sea snapper reel which I dropped ages ago and needs a section of the fibreglass repaired. Any suggestions on a good repairer who’s not too dear, preferably Northside? cheers Greg
  5. I must admit I thought frogfish when I first saw it.
  6. Needless to say I am now hooked on catching grassies in shallow water. Will be doing more of this type of fishing in the future. It certainly helps when you get instructed by a pro. My mate manages one of the BCF stores and certainly knows his stuff!
  7. Thanks for the great report Kat. Your fiction writing abilities are coming on a treat and your work with photoshop is improving as well. Although, next time could you remove a few of my chins while you’re at it please?
  8. So many beaches. So little time!
  9. Pardon my ignorance @Drop Bear but where is Flinders?

    Really? Hamish liked it. I don’t see too many other people who aren’t 21 on here. I’ll just stop posting. And by the way, check back on the humour posts and you’ll find a LOT of other posts that put this one to shame and they were deemed alright.
  11. Great! When are we going fishing?
  12. Not having a blank coloured boat, no. Lol.
  13. Well, it couldn’t ID my fish. And in one of my photos it said there was no fish there! It wasn’t THAT small. Lol.
  14. Yeah. We didn’t go in the shed too often!
  15. Are you serious? The ‘slim beauty double uni Bimini twist Albright GT knot’. C’mon. Give me a break. Lol.
  16. My father, uncle and grandfather used to catch the giant parrot in the bay when I was young. I’m talking about parrot of twenty pounds plus. Not sure if these are the tuskies we catch today in much smaller sizes but they looked like them. My uncle had a house on the foreshore at Dunwich. Anyway, I distinctly remember (which is very rare for me, by the way) taking torches and catching the ghost crabs as they sat mesmerised by the light. They used these for catching the huge tuskies. My uncle also used to keep paint cans filled with mullet gut which he used to leave in his shed uncovered for months before it was ready for use catching all types of fish.
  17. Not bad. Just waiting for my deckie to prepare the report. Might take a while though. They were very worn out from pulling up fish. Or was that the anchor? Can’t remember now.
  18. Hey. I’m offended now! I put out a call for a new fishing buddy and you weren’t interested, despite my very reasonable demands.
  19. That’s a big orchid house. Did you used to grow them for sale or show?
  20. Welcome to AFO Woodsy. What type of boat do you have?
  21. It makes you wonder whether, in a couple years, the undersized fish will have grown up sufficiently to be keepers and Moreton Bay a fishing haven. I mean, surely all those just under grassies, squire, etc etc can’t all get eaten by something else? So why aren’t there great numbers of larger fish already? Have conditions improved in the bay only in the last couple of years, and hence all the young fish? Any ideas anyone?
