It was earlier this year that my wife and I decided to actively pursue a move to a regional town and escape the every growing problem of living and working in Brisbane. Originally from Rockhampton and my parents still there it was odds on favorite to get the guernsey. Things happened pretty quickly and with some things falling into place through my wife’s employer she was able to score a position in the Rockhampton branch. I still have to tie up the ends with my job but hopefully that should be ok. Job or no job, I am still going. I can’t wait to get back having never worked and lived separately to the oldies so it will still be an experience for me. Not long to go, moving on the weekend of the 19-20th of July.
Fishing talk, I have to thank Ausfish for an excellent portal into how to catch a fish or two in Moreton Bay. Without it I would have been up the proverbial creek without a paddle. I was able to crack a few regular target species, a 5kg bay snap on the smelly stuff, a few squire on plastics, some arm stretching LT’s, a few nice hauls of sizeable spots, a bucket of prawns from a local creek, a few hauls of muddies and a 1m+ threadie in the River. Some species also eluded me over a few trips, a bay jewie and a bay cobe. I am still young and hope to come back for another go. Never give up.
I am not leaving Ausfish and definitely not giving up fishing. I still have locked away many spot x’s and times for catching some beauties in and around Rocky. Plus, the old man has a much bigger boat than my tinnie so there will be plenty of regular trips to the reefs off Yeppoon. I was there for the summer after the 90/91 flood and can remember the ball tearing barra season in the Fitzroy. This years floods weren’t as big but big enough to bring another great season that I am eagerly waiting. Basically, I will be spending much more time on the water and you will see a few more reports from CQ.

Does that mean you won't be doing the R2M?
