Work got postponed so Andrew and I decided to head out off Cape Moreton for a crack at some bottom bouncing even with a dodgy forecast and prospect of 3 metre seas.
Left midday from Bribie with 15 knots of southerly for the trip across the bay:-/ and jigged some livies at the drop off. Hard work to find good yakkas.
Trip out to the cape was good and only 1.5m of swell so played around shallow for no joy then headed out to a spot in 80m. Current and wind heading north didn't work on this spot so north and a bit shallower was the call.
Had 2 drops on an old favourite spot on the way which we have left alone for years and picked up some quality pearlies.
An hour before sun down, no wind, swell dropping, no boat in sight and quality pearlies on the chew. Bagged out just on sundown but hadn't seen a snapper.
Picked down on a favourite big snapper spot and burlied hard. Wasn't till we lost anchor and drifted off the pinnacle that both rods bent over and two 6 plus kilo snapper hit the deck:D
We then decided to drift the livies over the structure which proved to be a winner with snapper on and happy days or ripping the heads of them to early and dusting them>:( .
With lots of fish in the esky, the bag out call on snapper was deferred leaving them on the chew and home early was the call.
Thanks Andrew for the trip out, the KC is a fish magnet.
Thanks to Ausfish members for posting updated reports on whats chewin where;) .
Happy Days..
