woodenboater Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 checking IP's this morning Roy ? Is he working or vacationing down there ? Australians are great people, very much like Canadians, but with accents. They love their beer with some backbone as well lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Clemens Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 I think my brother John in Australia is reading the site and that warms my heart. That would be cool to see some fish from the "Land Down Under" I watched a couple of "RIVER MONSTER" shows that were taped down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the aussie fishing championships interesting, especially the barramundi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleDigits Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Here are some pics i dug up of some fishing my brother and I did in SE Queensland (near Brisbane) a few years ago. First is a vid of memorable catch, my only attempt at freshwater while i was there netted me this nice little Aussie Bass: Here are some other saltwater pics: My buddy Damon with a shovelnosed shark And the baby version: A man-sized Bull Shark...this one didn't come in the boat... My fave Aussie fish, the Snapper (Pagrus Aurata). Looks, fight, eating...has it all Called Squire or Pinkys as juveniles, This is a Longtail Tuna, an inshore species that come into the bay for a short season and can be chased and sight fished with fly or lures. This one took bait. One of the best eating fish in the sea, a Spangled Emperor: Another tasty one, Goldspotted pigfish: This is a Spotted Wobbegong, one of the many local shark species: Great place to fish...

DoubleDigits Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 He did miss the flats fish, permit, bones... There isn't much pure flats fishing in that part of Aus...but I did used to wade a nearby flat for a tasty but ugly fish called dusky flathead.

DoubleDigits Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 I'd love to see more photos of those fish anytime you get a chance. Thanks. I will dig up the old lap top and see what I can find. I didn't take nearly enough pictures. I caught and released many creatures that I would never see again, without a camera around...thought I was going to be fishing there forever...

DoubleDigits Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 This is pretty snapper caught by my bro. This is a good fish for inshore. This toothy critter is called a Yellowtail Pike: Here is a nice snapper, and a Painted Sweetlip, or Slatey Bream, (depends who you ask). Never kept another one of those...gross! Another 'error' in the trial and error of discovering which ones taste good...this fork tailed catfish. Caught at 110 fow well offshore. It was brilliant silver when alive. Orange-lined Triggerfish: A couple of Giant Trevally, or GTs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
