Hi all,

Firstly a big thanks to everyone who submitted photos for the competition. We have had a huge response with over 100 photos, so we have decided to add a few more prizes. The first prize winner for a new ExplorOz membership went to visitor Scrubcat for his magnificent photo of the Murray Cod. Well Done!!

Guy mentioned in an email saying 'The Queenfish were caught on lures and 6lb line using baitcaster rods and were captured at the mouth of the McArthur River downstream from Borroloola in the Gulf of Carpentaria NT. The photo was taken in 1968'

Well done Guy and congratulations to you all.
Also, thanks to everyone who entered.

There is a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot.

The alternative is fillet & release... I can't see why the greenies would find that more acceptable.

Makes a great bumper sticker though.
