Hey Guys thought Id put up a brief report. Left Kawana around 11am saturday for the banks to be greated with great conditions.
Pulled up at the bait grounds were I normally load but couldnt get a show. Continued on to the banks for another few miles and came across THICK shows. 100 slimey's later we headed for the northern banks.
My new f 60's ran sweetly but Ive gone one pich too low on the props causing a skiboat like feel, plenty of punch but only pullin 18kts at 4500rpm. Found a nice ledge and they started coming in instantly.
Excellent conditions and plenty of action made for an eventful trip. Lost ALOT of fish due to new 50lb Pretest leader which ill be ditching. Upgraded to 100lb but the action slowed, still managed 25 fish between 3. 10 snap/squire, 6 AJ's,3 pearlies,3 fusliers,2 parrot, 1 moses, yes woulda been 3 parrot hey Kel???? Bretto lost (Kel lost) a HUGE parrot 3-4 kg Bretto is still getting over it!! I caught my PB snapper at 7kg on paternoster, huge knob for the weight. Used 100 litres of fuel compared to the usual 150ltrs and that will get a touch better. Great trip Bretto and Kel, ill try to put up pics tho I cant load them up from new dig cam. Kel took about 9 fish which arent included in the pic.
Cheers guys, this weekend should be madness with the full moon, im out there if the weather behaves. Cheers, Deano..
