Photos wanted

[lock]

Gday everyone back in the good country. I am over in Ireland at the moment and I have been telling people over here about fishing back home especially about fraiser island. Surf fishing seems to be popular over as well and I was wondering if anyone could post some photos so as I can show them why I dont consider fishing for rays and conger eels the ultimate in fishing. ;)
This pic is of a floating fish farm in vietnam. We stopped there for three weeks on the way over. :)

Thanks very much every one thats exactly what I am after :) :). When I start telling them about home they look at me as though I full of it (I am sometimes but you cant always let the truthe get in the way of a good story) ;D .But now I have some proof I am shore they will enjoy them.
They do Know what flatties are because some of them watch rex on pay tv and they must replay the same episode because when I list off some fish we have they all mention seeing rex catch them on tv :).
Some of the main things they target over here in the sea are : Conger eels
Dog fish
Plaice
Sea bass
Rays
Codling (they dont look like our cod either)
Thanks again everyone I will post some pics from over here as soon as I get some. :) :)

[SURF_SNIPER]

seeing some photos of these would be great, even better would be watching rexy over there catching a few conger eels ;D ::)
