Headed out from Toorbul on "Meherio" skippered by good mate Ben for the grounds off Moreton. Rounded the cape and met about 15 knts nth easterly with 20-25 knt rain squalls coming through. Noticed a few boats out at Roberts and Smith's and once round the cape probably about half a dozen down towards shallow tempest. Dropped lines about 5 am in around 80 meters with whole pillies on gangs with just enough weight to find bottom. We were finding bottom with an 8 ball but the wind was pushing us along at a good pace even with the sea anchor out. Bagged 6 School size Snappery squire around 3-4kg in 3 drifts then not much happened after that. Wind swung around to the south, south east and we headed in closer to our pearly spots. Bagged one keeper out of a few under size ones. The fish were on the bite from 5AM to about 630AM then it all shut down. Anyway, perserviered with ordinary conditions for a good feed, and starting to come up with the goods after a lot of trial and error to finally bag a few good fish consistantly is worth it.
