Where we all from?

[wessel]

Born in Namibia, raised in South Africa, married to a Brisbane lass, living in the Middle East (Qatar) and with a place and family over in Maryborough. If only the boss will approve my leave form then I will be over for a whole three weeks with nothing planned but fishing for that trip.....

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.

Here is a Member Map that was done a while ago, from the old forum profile info. Give you a rough idea of the spread around the country. Problem with polls is that they only show results of those that vote, not all members.

What's all the pretty colours mean Steve??

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.

Tim.

5 kids, no wonder you never had time to go fishing before and no wonder you want to go now

LOL.

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.

just arrived in arnhemland where I'll be for the next couple years. I'm the only one who voted NT

Got off the plane today at 11am and was out on the boat by 12 for an arvo fish! A few nice black jews to start off the never ending fishing trip!
