This is a goody from Marion Reef 08, can't tell if it was trying to eat or mate.
It was from your camera John, who was the angler in the Red jacket ? not Rob again!!

PS: just read your last post, it wasn't Rob  ;D

Bugger !!  thats fair enough 

maybe we should all throw in a dollar a day per person winner takes all for the smallest fish
on a GT lure , then the winner could celebrate with a couple of well earned beverages when we
get back to Hamo on the last night  :)

The banter on this thread is a great buildup to our Elusive trip!!
I love the lists, the indecision, the packing, and the sleepness nights that all happen beforehand.
Makes you really appreciate it when the day finally comes.
Its like playing in a "Grand Final".

dam time is flying !!!

hey Ken  hopefully by then we will get some decent weather and get out for a pre fish around the islands

if anyone else on the second week can make it up early if the weather permits we going to try and get out for
fish around the islands before Elusive 

if weather no good i guess there are other activities we could indulge in at Airlie Beach  ;)
