A cautionary tale detailing the experience of a couple of MBFG members who ventured through South Passage Bar on a day when even brave men turned around and fished in the bay.

The wet weekend may have stopped the Moreton Bay Fishing Group from sitting on a beach around a fire at Tipplers campground, but it did NOT stop the group’s social drinks and fishing activities at home base.

Moreton Bay Fishing Group members Ian and Gary, plus a few mates, headed up to the Northern Territory for a fantastic fishing adventure. Plenty of barramundi, coral trout, trevally, cod, golden snapper and a very surprising “unusual” furry catch.

Thanks lads for sharing your story at the MBFG social meeting, and if you missed that then you can see their photo diary here.

And yes the rumours are true - the MBFG are planning another trip for 2027
