Thanks Guys ...just getting the hang of posting pics.....you are all welcome to come fishing with us any time.......just bring a smile and some stories.....thought someone might notice my custom baitrigging station......fits perfectly in the cockpit of the 265 and gives you 2 extra rodholders at a higher position than the gunnels, it has 4 drawers underneath to fit the largest minnows as well as holders for 2 knives pliers , cutters , elastic bands, sinkers, bait needles and beer (or as we call it a stubby)....ideal for the outside rigger rods.........did I say that I love my 265 and those 200hpdi's are starting to grow on me!

The whale photos are FANTASTIC. I had to catch my breath on quite a few of them - they literally took my breath away. Thank you for sharing them.

The shot of the Ocean in pic #10 is like one from a magazine.

We are from Townsville on the north Eastern coast. We fish for assorted bottom (food) fish on the Great Barrier Reef which is 40-50 miles offshore

Then in the winter we have a 3-4 month run of juvenile Black Marlin in side the reefs in 100+ ft of water. Sailfish are always a possibility around the reefs. By catch is Cobia, King (Spanish) Mackrel, Northern Bluefin,and smaller Tuna's.

From Oct to Jan we head out to the edge of the shelf and the outermost Reefs to fish for Giant Black Marlin (we are 200 miles South of Cairns)
Dolphinfish,Yellowfin and Dogtooth.

We have an aluminium bass boat to fish for Barramundi and Mangrove Jacks in the creeks and the impoundments for most of summer , which is really 6 months long here. Our weather is similar to Florida with Cyclones in summer . Glad you like the pics. hope to get some better fish pics posted soon. Did I mention that I love my 265........

Great pics, and a nice 'crew' you have there too. :D That 265 is a great boat, and you seem to be a fantastic place to fish her. We really love those whale pics, too. Thank you for posting, and please post more, any time.
