Hi EKO
I am heading over to Brisbane in October, looking for work (and new fishing spots!). I'm not sure what a dogi mac is but I'm guessing they have a big toothy grin. Do you know what the fishing is like around the Brisbane coastline? Also, re the catch and release of the silver catfish - I presume that was purely your choice on the day (as opposed to any catch and release rules for sea fish?)
Cheers
Cliff
