a good Year again

Thought I would throw a few pics up of the kids and I with a few fish from 2016
had a pretty good year again, with plenty of feeds of great eating fish and some great fun all round

might have a new tub to use a little bit next year, a bit more cruisy and comfortable for the Perons trips, lol

Agent 86 behind all those money shots im sure you have your fair share of childrens tangles so good on ya for being a patient dad!! did you catch that flathead off shore? deep water? ive only found little ones in creeks and didnt realise they got that big up here.

also mate if you're new tub is that huge ocean liner in the background then yeah i dont think theres any weather at the perons that could defeat you!

yeah mate, caught that Flattie wide of the Perons, biggest one of those flathead that I've encountered up here
starting to get more flathead in the creeks and stuff around the place now too, and a better size
growing like the Tarpon at Corroboree, starting to be a bit of fun.

the new tub is the Powercat 'Sea Eagle' with Alex standing in front of it, can't wait to go for a cruise next year
Will have to get another FFF sticker..lol

Awesome fish Dennis. Whats the range on that girl with the twin 8ooL tanks. Good buy even at the advertised price.

Good year again mate , Wish I didn't bail out on a few now .

What a great looking rig , I'll drive, you fish

All the best for Christmas & New Year

Cheers

Good on you Dennis, hope my kid gets as into fishing as yours!

Yeah nice work i'm sure you will get more than the kids interested with the Sea Eagle / vulture
ha ha ha

should have a safe range of 800km, depends how fast you want to go, but that is cruising around 12-13kmh
easy do the Perons and Flat top from Darwin
also has 4x200litre fuel drums to utilise as well, that's another 400km.

Thanks Andy, hope you have a great trip, I may have to head up North of the cape one day too and explore some islands and rivers to catch a few new species
PNG might have a few of them once I have everything sussed for the Sea Eagle

Awesome range. If you want to head out and chase dogtooth tuna, reds, Ruby snapper and wahoo, ranking cod etc etc give me a bell. Got a few thousand marks from flat top, Lyndoch, Goodrich, tassie and Evans Shoals that are worth checking out.
