offshore moloolaba goes nuts

[wadeo]

Gday all.

With an early day on the horizon i rounded up a crew for an arvo trip off the banks. Greeted by calm see's the cat made short comfortable work of the trip out to my first spot X. After locating some good shows on the sounder we started our first drift. Firing down pillies, squid & flesh the 3 of us no sooner hit the bottom and we were all hooked up on solid fish. Once landing all 3 we had 2 snapper around 6kg and 1 just on 5kg which was a great start to the arvo. We drifted this spot 4 or 5 times for quality nobbies to 5kg and the odd pearly. After hooking up and landing a 12.4kg AJ we took some photo's and released him un harmed to fight another day. Moving off to another spot this time on anchor saw 3 cobia landed between 6 to 9kg. Things here went a little quiet so we moved north a few k's and reset the anchor and a steady stream of berly went out. Wasnt long before we were into good nobbies again. This spot went really well for a mixed bag consisting of spangled emperor to 5.2kg and 2 around 2kg as well. By now the current had started moving and Scotty managed good yellow tail kingfish around 8kg in between snapper. Our snapper bag out came fairly fast releasing a few to fight another day. 28 fish pulled us up with 3 on board and we left them bitting to come home.

great Haul, looks like you guy's had a ball. always wanted to get out to the banks although the 4.5 stacer is a tad small. we had a similar night last friday night off Sunshine reef plenty of nice nobbies some real big things that straightened hooks and broke lines although it was a great night all the same.
well done.

[barracat66]

Well done Wadeo, like allways your offshore adventures produce quility fish, and a great crew to back you up, good to see big Scotty catching a few knobbies, That Tica reel must still be operational, you have to stop sitting on the rod and winching up the tiger sharks !!!!!!!!!!

Say gday to Frank as well i would imagine he'd be up at the rainbow comp at the moment. Next weeks forcast is spelling boat maintanance at this stage.

Gday Michael
hope your feeling better mate. Yes Winched another shark up thurs night with the TICA!! same style. I'm convinced there strong i'm doing my best to brake it. When loading it up to 14kg of drag the reel laps it up with ease. Ask Scotty how she works as a winch hehe. Anyhow i'll be in this week for braid for my baitrunner as she snapped 1m up from where it was tied to the backing (bugger). See ya when ya better.
