To me, it just seems like a rather boring thing to do. It's just never interested me at all. And you could be out there for hours and not catch a thing.

Mackeral, Trevally, emperor you name it.. I caught it there... A great place.. Some days i would jump in the car and go to shute and have a fish in that area.. BUT my all time fav area is Seaforth... I would love to retire there... quiet, easy access to the sea, nice backwater... plenty of sandflies and crocs tho... I think I might load the car up and head there right this minute LOL

No..just a truly dedicated punter Sportz..and there's nothin wrong with that.

I last went fishing in FNQ a few months ago and I must say that it doesn't seem to do it for me like it used to... I'd like to see fish stocks increasing dramatically rather than disappearing. I went to the once famous Cooktown jetty to see what it was all about..only problem was I was twenty years too late LOL.


didja get blown off that jetty... always blowing up there

Thats the beauty of it... it really doesnt matter if ya catch anything or not... U know how women talk about time for them.. they have like "me time".. fishing is like that for me.. time to think, reflect or just watch the world go by.. Broing it certainly isnt... it is what you make of it
