Boys what can I say. Chappo rang me on the way home and was still buzzing he also sent the photo's to me at work. Awesome is all I can say, although Brian you need to put more detail in your reports lol!! Kind regards, Hutcho

Mondo, Who needs a boat eh!!! Great catch, simple bait, simple rig, simple fisherman (sorry!!) Hutcho

Mondo Great action shot mate!!!! Hutcho

Mondo, What can I say!! Just another life adventure with a great mate. I don't how we are gunna top that? I can't stop thinking about what a great time that was and the great people we met. Barra certainly set a level playing field what a fantastic sport fish. I hope we can work out a plan to get back up there for next year. Steve is a champion bloke and a barra fishing guru. Simply one of the best fishing trips I have ever had. For the rest of the raiders just do it, you won't be dissapointed Darwin is special. Anyway time to attack the reds when the weather settles down. Regards, Hutcho

Hey Guys pretty even in the fish catching stakes but everyone's a winner camping. The rod bend was as a result of a large salmon than ended up bending my size 4 whiting hook straight. Great time up there as usual. Hitting the sack early for a very very early start to target snapper at our favorite spot. Got 30 or so the other day so we are pretty stoked to be havning another crack. Hopefully a good post tomorrow. Hutcho and Ray back in town and hopefully on fire.

Brian, Yet another successful western invasion. Looks like you had a ball the harbour is on fire at the moment with the Kingies still hanging around. We did a trip offshore on Thursday and filled with boat with nice 1kg snapper and trag. Love to fish this time of year. Hutcho1

Nice one Chappo, Congrats cuz Scotty you guys were on fire. Going out with Ray tomorrow weather permitting let you know the result. We will be chasing whiting, bream and Jew. Regards, Hutchoooooo

Mondo, Now that was fun!!! Yew!! Hutcho

Mondo, Those fillets were great for brecky and Max loved them. Good on Dean with his first plastic flat one. Regards, Hutcho

Hi Mondo, Great report it was good to see you so stoked to catch that fish. It just goes to show that you just have to have a go. Hey that rythmes!! Anyway, this is going to be a cracker season so the next big challenge is our full day on nothing but poppers. Stay tuned raiders for another great adventure. Hutcho

Great first post. Good to see you found the flatties they have been a bit hit and miss of late. Good on you for letting the big girl go. It would appear most people realise the importance this to future fishing stocks. Regards, Hutcho

Thanks Mondo for another great fishing adventure, just when you think you have it nailed the fish take off. I promised you big models but they were not there so I reckon we do a late arvo today and we WILL find them. I have calmed down a bit overnight so all is good and ready to cast again and again. Regards, Hutcho

Jack, Thanks for a great `early morning' and I mean early fishing trip. As you know I was sceptical but seeing with my own eyes was litterly amazing and a couple of big ticks on my bucket list. You are a very very good fisho, and a reminder that persistance and confidence pays off when fishing with plastics. Don't worry about the jewy and the net incident. It takes two to tango and I consider it was tagged and released anyway, it was certainly a nice fish. You actually think like a bloody fish. Can't wait to attack the reds. Thanks again Jack. Regards,Hutcho

Nice Jack, very nice. Get some sleep and see you in the wee hours. Regards, Hutcho

Love Windang, I learnt to fish and prawn there with my grandparents every summer holidays as a kid many, many years ago in the 60s and 70s. I remember, getting squirt worms and chasing whiting on the flats. I also stood up for the first time on my foamy at Windang beach. Great to see the fishing is still good, I'll have to go back and see how it has changed. Do they still have the small boats moored near the bridge? Regards, Hutcho
