Hey guys, I am back. I was running low on money so I took up the USA's offer for a bounty on Osama's head. Loaded up the tinny full of fuel and headed to Pakistan. Moored the tiny then trekked into Afganastan. Searched high and low but couldn't find him. As i was unsuccessful in my new chosen career as a bounty hunter, I have returned to my day job. Hows the fishing been? 8-)

Dave is out of town for the classic. Devocean will probably head up a creek and do a bit of crabbing and I am unsure what I am doing at this stage. One thing is for sure, I can be found drinking at the bar on the front beach through out the night.

[Nathanrb4]

hahahaha i was wondering where you`d got to mick!
I`m still trying to get the saturday off so i can head down with afew mates that are going. if i make it i`ll see ya at the pub mate.

[Mick]

I'll keep an eye out for you. How good would it be to catch the tagged fish. You can win a block a land! What a prize!

[devocean]

Will be chasing a few jacks I think on Saturday up Duck and maybe even doing an overnighter on Friday Night. Chasing tagged fish on Saturday. Have got the goods on where they are releasing it.

Tides are pretty crap but might be chasing a fishing partner if you are not in Mick. As for the crabs heard they have gone off the chew.

[devocean]

Already got the biggest Mack tuna in the freezer down stairs as fdor the bar I think I might join ya Mick your shout!

[devocean]

By the way if anyone wants any GPS marks for a couple of wrecks or a couple of good spots and that (slack run makes good wreck fishing) just PM and Ill help you out.

[Mick]

Yopu keep those marks to yourself Devo.... >:(

[krazyfisher]

send them to me! send them to me :)

[Mick]

Dan, I will let you give up the barge, Gladiator, Abbots, Middle and Holbourne. You make sure the you dont give up the Plane, Yort (spelling is correct according to Dan) or phillips reef.

If someone wants one of the sectret spots they must also give up a spot that WILL produce legal red emporer, 70cm plus grunter and fingermark and the spot must also hold cray fish.

I think thats fair.

[Fishin_Dan]

I've got a mark like that in the Pine River here Mick if you wanna trade for that ;) ;D

[Leo_N.]

I think that I will be heading down, but probably camping aroud the Elliot River or there-abouts. Maybe give Camp Island and Abbot Pt jetty a bit of a hiding.

It's a shame they don't accept any spear-holes for the weigh-in, but I think I'll take the gun down anyway just for the fun of it.

I will probably make it to the weigh-in regardless of catch status so it would be great to run into some of you guys.

[Leo_N.]

Bump.

Anyone else planning on making the trip to Bowen?

[devocean]

Alright boys the weather is looking the goods really good actually, so good Im heading to Spot X in my 4metre tinny. Last two days three 47kilo spanish landed less than i mile from Greys Bay Ramp, weather is absolutley beautiful. If you are heading down for the classic best bet is to head for Abbot Point Jetty thats where the big fish live and take ya wolf herring with ya though the goldens and fingermark there will keep ya busy. If you keep out an eye you will see me on the way there on my secret cobia and emperor spot, 45 feet of purebombie heaven about as big as a house with nothing but sand for at least 6 miles round.

Took me three weeks to find it. Ill be cheating though going throughh the mouth of a certaiun creek I have access to so I wont be leaving till about 2.30 in the arv on the high tide.

Poor suckers lining up at the ramp Ill have my own ramp all to myself. As for the jacks bit of a shame as this humidity as brough them on big time. Hope to see few guys there. Bring ya teeth as Fishing Australia will be there.
