Cane toad licking has nothing on the FNQ Long Island iced teas....shizzazle. They won’t even make them with full nips in Tas/Vic anymore and in Cairns they seem to be trying to get more top end in the glass - I swear they took out ice to get more tequila and vodka in!!!

Bloody hell...me ed! - I think I had 8 teas and a few schooners and...surprised im not worse than I am!

Trips not a total wash - heading to the reef tomorrow to see if any coral trout want to headbutt a spear gun. Not the pig shooting I had planned for so long but - have to adapt, over come!
“IM ALIVE, IM FIRING, I FEEL FANTASTIC” - what a bloody lie...too old for this drinkin business. That statement above is what they used to make us scream at 5am in the reserves after 4 hours sleep in the field...used to work 25 years ago...now? Just pisses off ppl in The other hotel rooms lol

Gday tas when ya head out to the reef are you hiring a boat yaself or on one of the charter boats? If you are going by yaself make sure ya know where the green zones are as "they" have zero tolerance and there are severe penalties if ya fish the wrong areas. Not long back a couple of visitors were fishing 50m inside the green (theyd drifted from outside) and the authorities smashed them. Very jealous ya heading out

[TassieTiger]

Geeezus DB! Going on charter boat - too many hazards for newbies

[Daddybang]

All good then
If this wind stays down it should be a great day out.

Just back from my wash out Hunt. But disappointed but tried to make the best.

Had a few good days on reef, scored some nice fish with a local charter - BUT...decided to do a dive in Hastings reef on a proper dive boat.
3m swell going out made 50% of passengers throw up...every fukn where. I couldn’t help a single person - I don’t get sea sick, but am a sympathetic vomitter.

Anyways - jump in, swimming around, checking out under the corals - bloody awesome. Get out for 10 - jump back in...go off by myself a little and farrrrk me. I dive down to come face to face with a 7ft shark. Man, I would have over taken Jesus - I’m fukn yelling at ppl to get out of the water and swimming like Thorpe. Then when I get in, I get told that sharks are harmless on the reef and very very rare...some even questioned if I really saw a shark!!!pricks.

Didn’t want to get back in, but I did after some encouragement from a local who said sharks are so rare out there, I should count myself lucky.

Back in the water not 5 minutes - SHARK, fukn SHARK!!! This time I grabbed some tourist chick and said come here with me, your seeing this too - she saw it as well and we both high tailed it out. Again- crew laughing at us - they won’t hurt you they said...fuk em, I said. I’m on board for good - where’s me towel.

Get home - front page news...tassie guy recovering from shark attack on reef. TUSA dive? You know what you can do with your sharks? Ggf!!!

Good to be home.

Haha Tassie. Well done with the dive report. 7 ft is top of the range for Blacktip and Whitetip reef sharks, but they really only worry you if you have interesting aromas around you, like fish juice, pee etc. Never really bothered me when I was spear fishing as I would not shoot any fish if they were nearby.

Mind you if I was diving in your waters and saw a 7 footer it would be a White Pointer, and a frisky young one at that so I would be out of the water like a shot.
