going on 30 yrs ago my bro and I used to travel down to byron bay and push a 13ft bondwood beechie out through the surf..no radio..no gps..no sounder..could hardly see land...we used to haul some monster pearlies, snapper and cod off the bottom..I would really like to try that again..just me and my bro..we are 10 years apart to the day..sigh (memories)
I'd have to say my last day fishing would be spent in FNQ on a remote mountain stream fishing for Jungle Perch with my ultralight threadline set up and some tiny lures.
I'd share this day with my dad.
Failing that go over to New Zealand and go for their massive LBG kingies and snapper with a couple of mates.

The Arapaima Gigas, or Pirarucu, can grow up to 13 feet long. Found in the Amazon.

Look at the links Steve put up. They are also called the Giant Arrowana, the largest of the boney tongue family of fishes & are a cousin to our 2 Oz saratoga species (Scleropages leichardti & jardini). 2nd biggest freshwater fish in this rock second only to the Sturgeon Fish. Known to take monkey, dogs & kids.Originally Posted by webby

Until next time...
I'd spend it fishing for Sooty grunter, I'd chalk up one on each lure type an die happy
