Caught this port Jackson shark there on the weekend, and I got busted off a few times, I only took light gear, because I was really only testing out the new boat ..

Ugly looking shark.. if i had to make love to a shark it would be to a shovel nose for sure..

Gave up on fishing after living in airlie beach for a while nothing compares to that goodness

Hey mate just got the green paper on the rec fishing in QLD. Reading it now. They are proposing, among other things, annual licences for rec anglers like they do in NSW. great idea when you consider the money raised will surely go back into purchasing some (not all) commercial licences back and for setting up more net free zones, and infrastructure upgrades (boat ramps, access, etc).

I currently live in Mackay and yes Whitsundays has awesome fishing. My question to you is does a license in NSW cover you and your children, or do your kids need a licence as well?

Wetting the line vs Wetting the tip.

Ironically both involve fish!

Hi Troops,

Thought id start a new thread about all things fishing... about to move to Bexley in a few weeks and was wondering if anyone had any good spots for a bit of beach fishing? Ive scoped a few beaches around cronulla that look ok from google but maybe someone here has a bit more detail for me?

Cheers

Get a boat and drop it @ yowie bay. Decent fish in the hacking. Land based is a waste of time.

You can try off wanda beach or north cronulla and catch salmon. But its hit and miss.

Land based is fished out.

I caught a 70cm Jew off garie and I've caught 4 +70cm kingies off the ovens (south whale beach).
For me, nothing beats rock fishing. Me vs nature.

Just remember, if you choose to consume one or the other, they both shouldn't smell like fish.
