Where we all from?

[RCG008]

This has been bugging me for a while... Well not bugging but annoying.

What area we all from?

From observing this forum for a year in Coffs Harbour I noticed how much talk on here was Qld based. I think if everyone votes we will have some interesting results.

At a guess 50% of the readers would be SE Qld based.

Cause it never seems like any other news (some from NSW) gets a run. I wonder if the Queenslanders realise how dominant in numbers they are in here. They need something to feel proud about because tomorow night they wont feel cocky. Go the Blues! ::)

And please vote.

Also if you come from somewhere obscure please tell!

[russ81]

Hows it going mate
i got to admit it i envy you for your braveness but we all know who is going to be the victors you want to make the game a little more interesting i'll bet you a carton (of beer) that the maroons take it out.
Nothing like a bit of friendly fun to make the game a little more interesting.
Lets us know if your interested.
Cheers

Nah i just meant the two of us lol.
I tried to PM you but it wouldnt let me

[RCG008]

I thought this was a fishing forum not a beef about football. Personally, I hate and despise football, rugby, cricket, golf, soccer, baseball, basket ball and every other ......ball and car racing, tennis, bike racing and any other stuff I may have missed the name of. Every channel on tv is loaded with the rotten muck on the weekends and most nights. I hate it all. Grow up and enjoy a MANS sport. It's called FISHING!! Now I'm getting over-excited and carried away. Gotta slow down. If you like ball games, could you please, please! keep the comments extremely short or pm them to those that want them.
Now where was I? Oh yes, fishing; I fish from Yeppoon around Keppel Bay and all the islands. What a glorious place. We almost decided to settle down in Tassie but the warmer northern parts called louder than the cooler (cold) south. Oh, one other sport that I did enjoy was catching feral pigs (with dogs) and knocking them off with a knife. A bit hard at night on foot but great stuff! My dream is to get me some of those black (or fawn) panthers that were shown on tv a few weeks ago but that's another story and not for the fishweb.

hey mate take it easy
its called freedom of speech and if you read the title of the Thread it is WHERE ARE YOU FROM not where do you fish and not your life story so you should heed your own advise before you start rambling.

[CHAPPY]

I.m from two and a half hours west of SE Qld. In Kingaroy. that two and a half hours is from Brisbane, Noosa, Hervey Bay and Tin Can So ,far enough away from the maddening crowd, but close enough to fish. Also close enough to the dams.
Hoping to shift to Tin Can in the new year.

Mate a lot dumber fish would bite at this. Get over yourself and be friendly.


Sick of Ausfish members trying to be funny when there not.

[kingtin]

Davemclean with the pound to the dollar we should see you pretty soon eh.



Doesn't always work out that way mate, as it can move pretty fast.

When we sold up to come here, the day an offer was put on the house, the rate was 44 pence to the dollar. By the time contracts were exchanged and the money was coming over here, it had changed to 51p to the dollar :'( We lost a lot of money from when our visas were first approved. I remember it well, 'cause it was the same as the price of an Aussie litre of petrol 51 cents :o ::) Look at it now (petrol prices) in only 12 yrs!

We've got another house under contract in the UK and at the time the offer was put in, it was 38p to the dollar...........we've not completed yet (freakin' solicitors), but since then it has gone up to 41.3 and it's now about 40.7. When you're selling a house worth a million bucks (which isn't a lot by UK standards) It can make the difference between a comfortable start here, or a slow start ie buying a boat straight away, or waiting ;D

It actually doesn't pay to watch the exchange rate and leave money over there whilst waiting for a better rate, if you're going to pay your Australian mortgage off with the money. The fluctuations don't equate anywhere near what you would be paying in Australian interest if you didn't bring the money over, irrespective of rate.

Keep your eye on the ball Dave, and remember, the money's bugger all. I'd sooner have a lower standard of living here, compensated for by the Aussie lifestyle, than be a millionaire in the UK.

As Ausfish said the map shows better

Lucky for you and Blaze the maps up, I was going to ask which one of you is the .79%:D

[Sean]

Yah, I hate when everyone talks about footy, because footy is not about fishing it's about footy and when people talk about footy all the time it makes me feel like footy isn't the answer, it's just footy.
I mean I take Fishing so seriously there is no way I could possibly let anything else into my life like footy. It would almost be like cheating on my fishing. I think they should just delete all the programs on tv. espec. the FOOTY. and JUST have fishing. That would make ME so much happier. If we all just sat here and talked about how QLD won the first game for like, 1 whole post that would only leave 568000 other posts I could read about fishing and that is just not enough. I think I might start a petition banning all sport, played or watched...except fishing because thats what I like.
Anway, I DON'T want to harp on because we are here to talk about fishing not how QLD Won in the Second Half again, or how much they lifted and left NSW for dead in the second half, because thats not what we are here for. We don't want to talk about that great pas from Jarrod Hayne that set Lockyer up nor do we want to talk about how good a player Johnathon Thurston is. And we definantly don't want to make it long-winded So I live in Northern NSW, I think fishing is just ACE and I hate NSW Blues!

Wessel

[Covertfly]

Well i know i voted for Southern NSW as that is where i am at the moment, as i think that is the info your poll is targeting. But i have been all over this great country of ours, and have fished in all states and territories. but to make it clear i still call myself a Qld'er when it comes down to the state of origin. But if comes down to loyalty re fishing i can't make my mind up as i have enjoyed the fishing in all the places i have been. so if it comes down to it we all live in gods country, just some have bigger fish and some have smaller fish. if you use light tackle on the smaller fish they can be just as exciting sometimes as taking on a barra or even a marlin.

Qlders are currently holding 76% of the voting as a collective group. Bit more than I first thought. But my guess for 50% being in SE qld was right. Thanks for everyone voting and I hope you understand what my initial post was all about. When I lived in NSW and used this forum It always seemed there was a lot of Qlders on here. Its weird to see how there is hardly anyone on here percentage wise south of Sydney.

Hi all.

Just joined the forum tonight and this is my third post.

I live in Thornton (about 20 minutes West of Newcastle) and moved up from Melbourne early this year. Only been fishing since September 06 but am mad keen for it (I've learned to tie some knots and everything!!!). Have given up a promising cricket career to take up fishing because let's face it, at 37 (tomorrow -correction, today, just went midnight as I was writing this) I reckon I may have missed my chance at a Baggy Green. ;)

Anyway, Love Newcastle and the fishing (caught a 25-30lb dewie on 10lb line off north reef which was about the 7th biggest buzz of my life, the other 6 being the day I married my beautiful wife and the birth of my 5 awesome kids.) and look forward to meeting up with some of you all over Australia in the future.

All the best guys.

No. 6 due Feb 08.

Love fishing with them though. Particularly the older 2 (14 in August and 10, both boys) as they are right into it. My daughter surprises me at times with the stuff she comes out with but she gets bored to quickly at present so it tends to get a little frustrating. I just take her when they aren't really on the chew so that I can teach her a few things and when she's had enough we just choof off.

For the fishing or the babies?;):P

Actually my wife loves it when I grab a couple of the cherubs and head off out the door. The beauty of where we are means we can fish the Hunter at Ash Island off the pontoon or the Hunter in at Newcastle, the beach at Stockton right up to the Signa or in the boat either on the river or outside so we have plenty of choices and use them often. I probably fish (except for at the moment due to flooding) around 3-4 times per week (not often enough off the boat though>:() so the missus gets quite a few quite times throughout the week.

Generally what I do is get up REEEEAAAAL early in the morning -like about 2am- after getting gear/bait/essentials ready the night before and get a few hours in before I come home (hopefully cook some fish for breaky) have a shower and bugger off to work. That can take it's toll but I have been suffering more since the flooding so obviously the busy lifestyle helps for some reason.

[2rods]

Well... looks like I am not alone..there are 2 of us from the NT.

We're new to the site and are from SE Qld, but in the past couple of weeks have managed to fish as far afield as Mackay (nice bream and elbow slapping whiting in the Pioneer River)...so its not just where you are from it is also about where you manage to fish.

Love the site!...and pretty happy that 50% live in our area, (it is fantastic for our local knowledge base:D ), but great to use the search engine to find stuff about other areas when needed

Just wanted to congratulate RCG008 on his prediction. He started this thread in May with the gues that about 50% would be from SEQ. (I would have thought more than that).

4 months and 469 votes later, including mine for Northern NSW, and he's only 1.17% off!!!:o

Also, he apparently picked a topic of interest to a few other people when it's still going after 4 months.

[oldboot]

good to see the concentration of QLD'ers and QLD content....... it partly compensates for the vast majority of the southerncentric fishing media.

I picked up the "fish sucker's" ( sorry kisser's) big book on places to fish before you die......... the vast majority are in NSW... I think there are two locations mentioned in QLD...... perhaps this is why the price is reduced from $80 to $19.95. needles to say I put it down again.


If been reading a lot of fishing books and mags lately and the southern centricity is very strong.

we can read up here in QLD you know...... example this forum;D

i have seen this post over and over but never actually posted on it. i came from canberra, but now live in brisbane, albany creek. i probably wont get a reply from this but i saw a boat at the locAL BP on sunday, pumpin his tires up and i saw he had a blue ausfish sticker on it, it had a blue canope over the top, and i think it was a 4.7 something pro fisher. i would have stopped to say hi but it looks like u were busy with the tires and i wanted to get home quick, so yer hope u see this so i no who u r lol.

Great stuff. They're easy to mollycoddle. We have a Jack Russell and we can't go fishing without him. Grab the rods and he's in the car and wont get out.

He's in the shit at the moment because he has found a dead roo somewhere and is covered in it.

[Breambuster33]

i still call victoria point home::)

[OldManRiver]

Dubbo.......Port Macquarie...........Wellington Point. Work in construction,turn 50 this year.been fishin since I was 5,love it.

[GavinW]

Less than 3 percent Victorians we must not own many computers down here coz i see plenty of us fishing.

[Marky Mark]

Port Macquarie, NSW mid-north coast. Been a Fishnetter for a while, looked around for something a bit less WP, PPB obsessed (sooo many Mexicans...) and now it seems I've found the Qld dominated site, dang where do all us Welshies hang out?;D

But soon to become a whinging pom in Townsville.

[jimbo 69]

spent 35 yrs in Mt Isa, but moved to Ayr 3 yrs ago;D

[TCSunCoast]

Eagle, I thought you NQ ers were way more relaxed than that. It seems you are not doing enough fishing and you are a little tense. Go easy on the car racing, its not always good fishing weather.

Must get to Gods country one day, if the I leave the sunshine coast. I do like the bit about not sharing, do tourists count when passing by looking for a fish??????????

[Cam-82]

I voted south aus as that is where i live. But as 4 where i am from QUEENSLAND will always be home.:2thumbsup: :2thumbsup: :2thumbsup:

Born in Blackall, lived in Brisbane 4 a while but now live in port pirie sa

[chief 1]

Gladstone is the place to be,i put down barrier reef country,i guess thats right

[Outsider1]

This has been bugging me for a while... Well not bugging but annoying.

What area we all from?

From observing this forum for a year in Coffs Harbour I noticed how much talk on here was Qld based. I think if everyone votes we will have some interesting results.

At a guess 50% of the readers would be SE Qld based.

Cause it never seems like any other news (some from NSW) gets a run. I wonder if the Queenslanders realise how dominant in numbers they are in here. They need something to feel proud about because tomorow night they wont feel cocky. Go the Blues! ::)

And please vote.

Also if you come from somewhere obscure please tell!

Pretty good guess there RGC008, currently running at 50.15% SE Qld!!! How are you on the horses?!;D;D

Cheers

Dave

I'm from Hackney, London - the worlds greatest city!

Although I'm now living in Brisbane and I do have to admit the weather and the fishing are a little better here ;).

[sheridan]

55 yrs in Brissie great place but hope to head north soon to some nice little town on the coast where life is good and fishing is great
