    Nice snap mate.

    They should have kept the fins with shark fin soup at $240 for four people last time i looked, it would be worth more than the flesh itself.

    Avast ye matey!

    Well done mate. Equals your PB doesn't it. Good to see the effort paid off. There is still a few bigger out there too mate. Try a little bit further south

    Well done Silent. the best thing that could happen to the bloody mongrels who did that would be that the bits that they threw away would attract a big live one that would take their bloody legs off.

    As for the fins being left. That is no indicator of ethnicity (or not). Not all "New Aussies" know how to prepare shark fin soup and if my memory serves, the soup is made from dried fins and some folk haven't got the facilities for drying.

    Thanks guys for comments...


    CASTLEMAINE - Well I could say PB on plastic also bay snapper twice on same model. My PB offshore snapper as 6kg mark... Hopefully crack it sooner

    NIPPER, DODSBODY & KINGTIN - interesting note over a wasteful fin and seem like not pro's act but we might be wrong

    BLUEFIN -Like the word "early bird does get the worm" that may be my role

    BAYFISH - Yep they are at Whyte island boat ramp

    CHIEF - same thing to your River guru

    SEAHORSE - I know what you mean its good for bait in the dusk, I lost faith in the bait and joined darkside just over a year!!!

    FOGGY - I know what you're saying... I'll need a colour fish finder to see real under water

    Silent i hit mud this morning and was there at 4.15, fished all the usual spots for 2 undersized squire between 2 fishing, i cant believe the difference between fishing the last 6 months and the first few months of this year, i dont think im doing anything different either, just slow going.

    You know for the first 3 months of this year it was normal for me to bag out by 6am although i rarely kept more than a couple for a feed but 8-10 legal fish was the norm with one morning in february saw me catch 18 legal squire by 8 am, but since may this year i have not been able to catch more than 2 squire on a trip and i always go midweek, in fact my average since may would be 1 fish for every 2 trips, im glad its not just me but it makes you wonder whats happening, i hope its not the success of soft plastics taking its toll.

    No offence intended whatsoever ALLEY but maybe you need to look at your methods?

    The last 2-3 trips to Mud for me have been the most successful ever (mind you these have been dispersed over the past 3 months). I know certain guys are doing extremely well on SP's at Mud of late! Perhaps you need to change SP styles/colours, maybe float a pillie out the back too to see if that attracts interest and hence tells you what they are doing at the time. It's very easy to get wrapped in a good period where everything works wonders and you can do no wrong but sometimes this just lulls us into a false sense of security and then the need to experiment and learn further becomes paramount! Don't rest on the laurels of a few good months...

    Re: Mud Island 20-11-07

    That is a top quality fish Silent, good for you mate

    In regards to the sharks, that is disgusting, you'd think if you wanted to cut all that off you might run the boat out a few hundred Mtrs or something and deep 6 them, not leave them there like that ! nothing will eat them that close to shore, so in a few days the place will stink like well, you know
