Today's blackfish class report
got there at 8:00 AM, howling wind, last of the run out
super saturated the spot with burley
dead as a doornail for the first 90 minutes
then the bite started to pick up
top session, top blokes, they took some home for dinner

Great poster from StopTheLockout. Imagine how exhausted that groper must be:

Drax at Hope Island. The only thing better than catching a GT, is catching a GT off the beach. Note the classic popper pinned on the rod:

Hi I was randomly searching my name looking for unrelated detail and surprised to see the photo of me with the gummy shark posted recently a little context, I have been fishing that spot for 23 years. sometimes oftetn sometime not so frequently, these days I do it land based. 3 years ago I took youtuber Luke Falzon out for an early season try (he wasn't in town long) we had a great night and just as we were about to pack up, got our target species. they get bigger than this but the following is my best one I think.

Flying into the Kowmung River for a magic day of trout fishing
Not expensive! Why?
1. Super short trip from Hoxton Park airfield
2. 3 or 4 blokes sharing the cost
3. the pilot was a fisho so the helo stayed all day

Thanks Jim, that's the final straw. For years I've defended professional fishos – excepting the tiny minority that abuse the resource. The kingie jiggers at Mowarry Point throwing hundreds of dead undersized kings overboard at the end of a session – because to release them might scare fish in the school. The Wooli leadliners catching 770 kilos of kings before 10AM - in a marine park. I was such a friend to the industry I was invited by the head of the professional fishing association to join a meeting with the head of NSW Fisheries. And what do I get for being fair? Told I'm gonna be bashed up at the boat ramp. Death threats from pro fishos **wives** at Eden. It's a shame that trash like you have spoiled things for pros but from now on this is a rec fishing page only.
