Newbie intro....
Hey guys and gals :-)
Met a couple guys the other morning who told me about the site so thought I'd join up and see what its all about!
About me: U probably guessed my name's Paul, and yeah I'm kinda Tall - 6'6".
Fishing habits: Grew up fishing in Port Hedland and surrounding paradise :-) Weekends I was spoiled catchin queenies, mud crabs, massive flathead, threadfin salmon and huge cod. Moved back to perth for high school and uni. Most of my high school fishing was usual shore based stuff around northern suburbs. Once we got our licences we made yearly pilgrimmages to Exmouth for 10 days at a time. Had some great land based trips there with a couple good days charter fishing thrown in over the years. Highlights up there would have been fishing under the navel pier when u used to be able to get near it, burlying up jacks inside the marina, and killer spangled sessions off the oysters. Haven't been back there for a couple years tho, so now the fishing is land based in Perth again.
Fishing bucket list: Never caught a big pinkie (or a pinky for that matter). Gotta catch one of those Alaskan Halibut - one of the few fish you can catch that is as big as you and weighs as much as you.
Other stuff: Happily married, run my own business, love to travel, have lived in France, England and USA, love camping, old hot rods and custom 50's cars.
Thanks for havin me!

Good on you Paul for joining us I am sure there are some
people on here that will help you catch that big Pinky.
If you have any questions whatever, don't hesitate to ask and as Wade mentioned, the Search Engine is a fantastic source of information.
Look forward to seeing a pic of your big snapper soon.

Sounds like Jay Burgess or Pilbarra Brad with the GTs
Welcome and as mentioned ask questions. I moved up to Karratha and the fishing is so different here cf Mandurah and the south (which I also miss) but the guys have helped me enormously with techno stuff, help and some general sites. Nothing specific but a point in the right direction helps. We all gaurd spots like gold!!! LOL.
You will love it but be careful about posting any possible illegal pictures. All hell breaks out but it is a good read and laugh. Been a member fot a year and the knowledge base has exploded.
I just wish they can point me into the best Mack lure. I have about 50 now on recomendations and still not sure which is best. LOL again. Now that is a thought for a new post again.
If ever up here in karratha give me a yell.
