Nice fish boys and they go real good on the chew. well done.

Actually, in all honesty, do you really think so? They have a reputation as being good eating, but the one I ate out of the Brissie was muddy and bland. Nearly every other saltwater fish I have eaten I would rate better.

This is pathetic,as a past member of ANSA 20 years ago I'm disgusted by the comments by some of these members. I quote from your own code of ethics RESPECT THE RIGHTS AND INTERESTS OF OTHER ANGLERS AND COMMERCIAL FISHERS WHO ARE LEGALY PARTICIPATING IN OUR FISHERY. I feel a complaint should be lodged with Steve Slobodzian on this matter and stop individuals bringing their great organisation into such a poor manner of conduct .

Don't know what you are talking about. I don't believe I made any negative comments about the fish in this thread or the people who caught them. But, I am trying to promote the right to free speech on this forum.

How about "each fish should have an even chance for freedom" (or however it goes) and "limit your catch, don't catch your limit"

All my commments are my own and do not reflect that of any organization or body I belong to

To anyone that has stopped posting reports in this section, please have a re-think.

There are now two members that have been banned for their comments. Jeremy is right in that one can offer opinions, but to be constantly ' flamed ' by people that offer nothing more than critisism is not on, as far as myself and other Mods are concerned.

We moderators do not get an opportunity to read every thread, but since this one has attracted a lot of attention, a more vigilant approach will be taken towards the " Fishing Reports " sections.

To those that want to debate the pro's and cons of legal fish, size limits, breeding stocks, take / no take etc, do it by another means other than ' highjacking ' someones else's thread. People who put up reports go to a great deal of trouble and effort to do so in the hope of assisting other fishos and entertaining members and guests. I personally don't believe in the " hero " ideal of posting pics and reports as members here post up reports for genuine reasons.

This site is and has always been based around the members. The members make this site what it is today.

Opinions are welcome and encouraged, but certainly critisism without being constructive or factual is not condoned.

Please enjoy the reports and take onboard what advice is offered and participate in the threads if you want.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Cheers Phill

Seems opinion on releasing or keeping such great fish as the Threadys goes around in circles with everyone getting worked up about it. Both sides of the argument have their points, one thing that came up is that a lot of released fish die anyway, maybe we all need to be looking at how we handle fish we intend to release, this includes how we hold them for photos (ie; holding a fish up by its mouth cant be good for it), or what sort of net we use, i think a bit more discussion on good handling and release techniques would benefit us all as those who believe they are doing the right thing but might be committing the fish to a lingering death.
Personally i think we are blessed to have fish like these big Threadies so close so would always choose to take a feed of bream, snaps etc instead, i dont even keep Flatties over about 58cm, thats just my choice. I love taking a few fish to eat but am always a bit dissapointed when we hear of guys filling their boats and freezers with hundreds of whiting or tailor/bream etc, thankfully most of the guys in Ausfish seem past that type of kill all mentality, those that arent may rue the day they cant take their kids and show them how to catch a fish.

Nothing wrong with a feed......... But cmon..... Why target the best fish brisbane has to offer!? The threadys have got an absolute belting in the last year or so. They are the best inshore fish brisbane has to offer. A fantastic fighting fish, also yes, very good eating but surely the blast of catching one is far greater than eating one, doesnt mean you shouldnt take the odd one for a feed, but two big breeders like that just makes me sad.. Why not just settle for a nice feed of flattys or whiting, not an amazing sport fish?. Sure you have the right to eat what ever is legal but i think its just taking these amazing fish for granted. For some people catchign a 1m+ threadfin is a dream and would be the fish of there life including me. Somthing you cannot buy unlike a feed..

I think a max size limit is needed for these incredible fish. Somthing along the lines of 60 - 100cm. Doesnt bother me keeping the odd thready in that size range. Cheers.

Very nice fish. (not directing this at you personaly but just keeping large threadys in general, because its becoming very common)

spot on..
