Early January reports pouring in from the fruited plain to the cobalt blue and some seriously good fish being boated. Paul Johnston, on the NSW north coast:

Andy. My daughter scored this nice dolphinfish at Hat Head today. The fish was lit up nicely as you can see.

Beautiful fish Paul, and haven’t you caught a few of those over the years. Damian finding some good ones too, off his downrigger:

I’m spreading the word about your gear mate. Awesome

Too kind, Damian! Busting to downrig some dollies myself next week. South to Port Phillip Bay and how’s this, for a brace of reds? Well done, Paul O’Brien:

Some Snapper pics attached that will get the Sydney siders frothing, most fish caught within the space of an hour before I go to work.

I’m frothing like a cappuccino spiked with PCP, Paul. Ben Greentree at Jervis Bay. Holiday kingz is best kingz:
