fishing last night....28in

[wayno60]

got this bugger in the cast net...just under southport bridge...put up a good fight at the start but then just became a dead weight.
hooked him with the gaff and dragged it back to the boat ramp.
Thats the 2nd one of got from there, the first one i dragged up on the anchor.

[goat boy]

you didn't release it unharmed? outrageous!

[wayno60]

that did cross my mind, but i thought that if i did someone else would get caught up in it

[tunaticer]

And somebody went to all the trouble of creating that artificial reef and you took the jacks home away!! Tsk, tsk tsk.

[hooknose]

I'm not sure i believe that its 28" unless i see it on the bragmat wayne, good catch nonetheless !!!
Cheers !!!

Typical Wayno.....sinking the gaff in for no reason at all except to cull the local population of bikes.Playing god again i see.What gave you the right to decide weather the bike lived or not.Is there no end to the useless killing Wayno?
Next time you decide to do this you should look up the DPI website, i believe it says all bike over 27" caught in December shall be released due to their breeding cycle.:P

[bigjimg]

You know you can get these in much better condition at a department store.Is this where you do all your christmas shopping?At this rate you can open up a bike shop and go hungry.Jim

[TimD]

Shame you took someones home away from them mate, i bet he's not happy :o

[wayno60]

and here i am thinking ive done the right thing....ive got the DPI on fast dial....should have.........maybe i need to get on to the greens to see what their stand on this would have been.

cheers

breeding cyclei think he's past his breeding cycle....;D

Nice tim....

You should give them,"The Greens" a call,they'll probably take the bike.Jim

[sandbankmagnet]

nice catch. what weight did it go? I hear they are a bit rubbery at that size.

[Funchy]

hi wayno,
look mate i am not after your secret spot or nuthin just a general idea of where ya get them this big? I only seem to be able to hook into tricycles but are after the bigger models like that. i heard a bloke got a moped down near the casino.;D;D

[wayno60]

Mate , a moped...thats the holy grail of this breed.
If i was you id be heading for rather large bridges with not a lot of traffic of a night....they sems to find there way in the dark of the night..

[randell]

I have filleted the tyres and tubes of them before and used them........
I see a few up here on sunny coast, they hang around bridges........
bit like jacks.

[smokindrag]

hose it off and stick it on ebay!!!! then use the money you get from it to repair the damage it did to your net!! :D

ive dragged up some strange things in the cast net but never anything like a whole bike!! LOL

Dan..

Im jealous Wayne. All I got were breams, flatties and rays from that spot.

[Crestcutter]

Man that thing has some evil sores on it, i wouldn't eat it Wayno.

[choppa]

i hope someone isn't using the poor owners as berley,,,, you know,,, catch a cyclist,,, tie them (and the bike) up and over you go

sounds a bit like a new Underbelly show???

[Defore]

Isn't it a jenny and should have been return unharmed.
You are only allowed to take the bucks

[softplasticsdude79]

+1 Well said LOL

[jim_bream]

Breeding Cycle... LMFAO.... Moped.... Howling with laughter.
As a matter of interest you should have had a look in its stomach to see what its been eating.
Bet you woulda found a few pairs of lycra shorts......

[wayno60]

Crest,
yer i know it looks like it came from up north, up round gladstone way.....

Defor,
Your right you know it is a jenny, but on the DPI list you can keep the fems. bag limit is 2 per person and wheel size is 20in.....

Pickers,
They really come on the chew after the school holidays and always around bridges. Its very rare that you;ll find one out in the middle of the Broadwater.
i find drifting for them works the best and the bigger the sinker the better. They'll take any bait and you have to gear up for them, they put up a good fight at the start but its only short lived. Like sting rays once you have them off the bottom your right.

cheers

[GES]

Hey Wayno
I looked up the Fisheries web site and checked the rules about what you can take with a cast net ... what you took is not on the list.
You want to be careful old son. Anna is gonna put up a drone to check for illegal fishing in Moreton Bay soon and its people like you that they'll be targeting.

[AaronF]

Looks like they had been caught before as I see a couple of tags on em down by the rear wheels! Hope you sen them into the DPI and they will get back to you with their previous catch history!

[tweedshark]

My neice once caught a dead cat in that same area. She thought it was hilarious, had to throw it back but, undersize

[Boat Hog]

No use trying to sell them on the Black Market Wayno ...... apparently the local ones can't compete with the cheap asian imports!;)

Cheers,

[wayno60]

hey, nufin cheap about the 2nd one it had all the good shimano gear shifters and parts.

[kind_cir]

Gees, catching bikes is common then. At least the bike I caught was fresh and alive, and a yong bloke even took it for a ride to the shops and back.

No dead pussy pushies up here, unlike the old coast.

[WalrusLike]

Well I'll be forked!, looks like I -spoke- too soon. Turns out they are wheely common.

Sorry for doubting you mate... I hope you didn't have to handle bars to get to those schooling bikes.

You should get it mounted.
