With the lack of recent fish photos, well from me at least due to this crap weather in Perth, a good mate of mine from over east has been taking the opportunity to bombard me with his awesome lizard captures.  I must admit that I have been pissing my mates off with the WA pink photos that get texted as soon as possible, well within 1 minute I guess, far and wide with comments about how good the fishing is here.  I particularly like it when we get multiple captures and can keep the texts flowing – the replies just seem to get more abusive as time goes on.  I even got this pink card as a sign of appreciation.  Anyway, I digress.

My mate is a big lizard legend.  He works at the BP Bulwer Island Refinery (that one that is closing so that is not good) and his work mates call his office the Bulwer Island Bait Shop.  He has worked there for years and if you don’t know it, it is located at the mouth of the Brisbane River.  As a keen fisho he has the local conditions sussed right out and this time of year is renowned for the lizards.  They seem to school up on the mud flats and can be caught in big numbers through May and June – he always sticks to the bag limit however.  He is a soft plastic light gear guru and targets them before work, during lunch and after work from land that the general public are not allowed to access – lucky bastard.  I know the lizards (crocodiles) don’t get as big here so thought members might like a look at some of the eastern images.  He did admit that the WA pinks are something special however.  Kilos of flathead fillets has got to be good.
