Barwonheads river would be a great location to take the kids for a fish now as it's full of small fish to keep them busy. Pretty much guarantee them some fish for fun, didn't take photos as there's really nothing to brag about on this report. Cheers :cheers:

You landed more than 80 fish, that is one awesome fishing session. What makes it more amazing is that all bar one was caught in 3 hours. That is one amazing morning. No need to go to the Gym, those guns of yours would have got a good work out.

Made me smile just reading what you had caught, well done :a_goodjob:

Cheers, Bugzy

Bragging rights begin when you catch something mate.
Banging out and then Catch more is definitely worth bragging about
