Headed out in "Alexander" (8.5 meter plate boat with twin 250 suzuki's) yesteday at 10am for southern hards/ northern barwons with mate following in a 5.5 meter Noosa Cat. Swell was about 1.9 metres with occasional ones over 2.5 metres.
Mate in Noosa Cat decided to head for the southern barwons but we continued at a slow 15 knots and arrived at first mark about 12.30. Fishing was slow for the next 2 hours but managed about 15 pearlies around 40 cm( 5 on board). Two of us decided to try jigging for the first time immediately hooked up and boated 5 AJs to 15kgs then both jiggs were lost to monster AJs. Found new mark about 400 metres away and in one hot session of about 20 minutes boated 2 nice 2 kg snapper, 10 Tuskies to 3kg, Mouri cod and an assortment of moses and hussar.
After 4pm every spot closed down, nice shows on the sounder but no bites.
Headed back to Mooloolaba about 5.45pm swell had dropped off and we sat on 30 knots and arrived at 7pm.
