Hi guys,
Am ex Ran and Merchant sailor. Have always loved the sea and fishing. Lived on the Gold coast since early 70's. So that makes me an old fart.
Have fished off-shore here before paper sounders, and the old southport bar. Caught up with technology with a 40 ft Cat I built just before the Seaway was opened, so got some great fishing in.
Have just taken delivery of my last boat. It's a 28 Ft longboat built by Tronqued out of the Philippines. All my mates are still working, so am looking for a fishing partner who isn't controlled by wife, golf, lack of energy, job, lack of money, and has all the things a fisherman needs, like patience, sense of humour (You'll need both to put up with me) and a love of boats and the sea.
Am not so sure about picking up messages on this site, so if you miss me or vise-versa, my Email is

Good health,
Grumbles.
