Nice Report there Dad! Well Done to Dene on his PB!

hahaha! So very true! Nice one!

CONGRATULATIONS on a great fish Sis! Well done!

CON-BLOODY-GRATULATIONS there Dad! What a top pair of fish, and a PB trevally to boot. Well done to Dene also, must have been a kidney bruiser! Great report, so informative. What an excellent x-mas present (much bigger than a king size Mars bar!) Bryce.

Thank you very much for all your well wishes. I did indeed have a few and just might have a few more this weekend for good measure.

Another great report Dad! Well done. Congrats on another super fish

Great report ajb! Congratulations and Well Done on your PB EP. hodgey.son

WOWZA! Great Fish Dene! Cheers, Bryce

Thank you for all your kind words. I'm having a GREAT time here. Surface lure fishing is more difficult than i suspected, however, I have a very experienced teacher to mentor me . I'm glad I had the chance to christen my 'Raider cap. Hey Slinky, I caught my fish on one of your outfits (Symetre/Silstar) Cheers, Bryce.

G'day fellow Raiders, I was trawling through news online today, and came across this interesting article: With a head like a fighter-plane cockpit, a Pacific barreleye fish shows off its highly sensitive, barrel-like eyes--topped by green, orblike lenses--in a picture released today (23/02/2009) but taken in 2004. There is short written piece with links to further information, plus a short video of footage of the elusive Barreleye. Check it out! http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/20...releye-picture/ Cheers, Hodgey.son

Goodness! Took me a few goes , but i figured it out in the end. Darn those 2nd grade smarty pants!

Excellent report Dad!, The fellas are all looking well, and I'm glad you all had a great time togther. Unfortunate weather but you still got a decent haul. Fish territory looked very promising. There's always one that gets away! Congrats on getting the largest fish, you always seem to get the goods even when your on away turf. Great photos too. I am looking forward to your next trip!

Thank-you Dad and fellow 'Raiders for all your kind Birthday greetings. I will indeed have a "few" to celebrate. I can't wait for next year!

HAHAHA! Very Funny!

Happy Birthday Ceph! I hope you had a great day.

'G'day Raiders, I was invited to go fishing offshore on the weekend with my boss Jeremy and a fellow workmate; Barry. I was very excited as I have only managed 2 outings in the last 12 months! We headed out at approximately 6:30am in beautiful weather,with wind less than 5 knots. We headed east of Jumpin Pin(QLD), with the Gold Coast in the distance. A quick stop first to gather some livies.With the livewell half full we went out further to start the session. First hook up was by Jeremy,who landed a small Scorpion cod. Not long after that it was Barry's turn. He appeared to be struggling a little as he had not been out fishing for some time as well. It seemed like an eternity until, at last, a flash of silver! I handed Jeremy the Environet, however he just shook his head and gave it back. I can see why... Congratulations to Barry with his 110cm Jewfish! A mountain of photos were taken and the fish was placed in the esky ready to be taken home, destined for our tables. We had a feeling it would be hard to top that but we gave it a go anyway. I ended up with 2 undersized Pearlies before succumbing to a bout of seasickness. Jeremy hooked a Grinner and what appeared to be a small Tarwhine. Barry also caught a nice Kingie. A great day had by all, with a pod of Dolphins following us back to shore. I can't wait to head back out sometime (minus the sea-sick of course ) and catch a big one. A big 'Thank you' to both the blokes for a terrific day! Bryce

"Some excellent underwater footage there Roberta! It is great watching them come shooting out of the reeds and gulp down all those different lures. Thank You for sharing." Hodgey.son

Excellent Session, Sis. Well Done. See you soon. Can't wait till I get down to Tuross and catch something for myself! Bryce.

Yes Excellent catch there Hodgey! Well done. I hope you added it to your Brag Shirt. Talk soon.
