Bribie M@G- Snapper.

[reel scream]

G'day all- Fished Sat/Sun in the Bribie M@G.

Left Bribie at 0300 with Grant (Tailortaker) and headed for Cal 12mile. Have never fished it before so had a bit of a search around for a while. Eventually found a nice little bump witha bit of life on it. Pulled a 6.5kg snap and Grant got a couple of smaller models.

After sun up it went quiet so we made our way out to Caloundra wide- never fished there either except for a quick sounder test a week ago. Couldn't find much of interest. Had a couple of drifts with nil result so headed south checking on some marks on the way. All crap.

Was time to get serious as the other lads didn't have much but i knew they were off to a certain cobe spot.

Headed to my pearlie mark and managed to relatively quickly get our bag of only average pearls- better than a kick up the arse though. The pressure was slowly coming off.

Dielema- Brennans or further south. The day before Brennans was the plan but for some reason chose south and it payed off. First stop between 3pm and 5 saw another 6.5 kg snap to me and a nice gold spot to Grant. Couple smaller snps and mosses.

Went quiet so moved a couple of mile further south for the night. Grant scored a 6.5 kg snap and we both added some smaller models. Grant had just come off night shift so opted for bed at 2030 while i stayed up having a couple and added a spangle 6.6kg, grassie and a couple of others. Plenty of good legal squire put back. Had a bloody nice fish sharked and dropped a couple of nice fish due to pulled hooks on large whole mullet.

Got the shite scared out of me when my line took off and as i tried to slow it down a bloody whale leapt out of the water about 15m from me. Needless to say i didn't land him.

All up covered 68nm for 150ltrs. Ended up with our bag of pearlies, bag of snaps and a few moses and sweetlip.

All in all a great trip with great weather and company. Thanks to all who fished and came to the BBQ.

Cheers Scott

Nice quality fish Scott seems they were on the chew up and down the coast and it sure makes things easy when you can travel around in great conditions lookin for them.
