Hi All, Firstly i would like my headings Spelling mistake not to be corrected pleaseThumbs Up  For those of you that dont get it, the first three letters refer to my little mac boatSmile Im proud of wot i achieve in the little Mac!! Ok with catch reports dwindling thought i would spice things up with a bit of action Ive had recently. the last two or three months have been good for me here. I have caught  alot of fish over the twenty pound mark with one trip i released four. Will focus on a couple of the good ones in the last month. I go in as many comps as I can. These days most of them are measure ones and you can usually fish anywhere. i wouldnt wont to fish anywhere else than here so it suits me fine.. A recent one based out of Hamilton had some good fisherman entered. with two days remaining the leading Snapper was 86cm caught by Tony Wong Kam who alot of you would of heard of. In my last ditch effort with one day remaining i hooked a Goodie! 12.57 kg going 88cm. my best this year. I was looking forward meeting Tony for the first time for a yarn but he never turned up to prizegiving... maybe next year. the other fish in the photos was a release, it stormed off wetting my face with its big tail charging off! I screen shot a few photo's from a video. prob 11 plus kg. first two photo's are of the 88 cm.  Cheers All

Great results there Geoff. I bet I'm not the only one sitting here jealous as. I know you do the time to get results like that awesome effort and congrats. Have you considered joining the Tinsdale tagging program? I bet they would be keen  to have some of those big ones on their books.

Thankyou for the replies guys... Tagging some bigger fish is a good idea Krow! but it doesn't interest me enough to get involved. Beer
