Well what a cracker of a day ! The weather that is not the fishing for us at least :( I wasn't going to make a post but I haven't wet a line since October last year :o
Got the call from a work mate that i'd not been fishing with before on Friday and the call was made to go fishing around the Cape or out off Mooloolaba.
We decided to head out of Spinikar and head around the Cape at 4:30am this morning. Trip out was a little lumpy both having 5.2m boats but the day turned out to be a cracker. 3 of the 4 forcasters I look at, had winds at or below 10kts so I wasn't detered.
Fishing was slow and both boats split up soon after getting there to do our own exploring around Shallow Tempest. I now know why ::) after 2 hours of fishing we caught up & we had only caught a plauge of undersized fish and my other work mates had 10 keepers ! :o
We again split up and started fishing North towards the Cape and managed a 44cm Squire to me and a 36cm Grassie to Aza. We must of caught and released 40 fish with 3 borderline which went back in. >:( We caught Squire, Rat Kingies, Rat Grassies, Trigger fish, Pearlies, Mosses Perch, trevally, small Cod and a trout of some sort.
Back at the ramp by 4pm and a call to my work mates had them with a final tally of 17 between 3 of them. We had 3 onboard as well and fished 3 hours longer for only 2 keepers !
Oh well ............ it was a great day to be on the water and finally wet a line. Tommorow i'll get a ribbing for my poor porfomance :( ;D A few pics for the sake of it !
