Double island trip wed /thurs

[wadeo]

Gday all,
With monitoring the weather on seabreeze and coastwatch monday and tuesday i rounded up saltrat and his father Barry for a DI trip departing noosa bar on the high tide wednesday morning and returning thursday morning on the high tide. After crossing the bar we set coarse for grounds north east of DI and craigo volunteer'd For the first driving stint leaveing me to check out the scenery for the first 2 hr travel in calm conditions.Arriving at our first spot saw craigo land a flounder to christen in the day with. Moving on a little we found good ground inwhich we drifted for small pearlies, maori cod and a legal grassy. From here we set sail for another 1hr travel out to some of the wider grounds where we found awesome structure and plenty of fish shows. Here the current made hard work even on the drift and the fish were biting very finiky. Around dark we set the anchor on two good bommies that were close together and started to get serious in filling the esky. With craigo and barry landing some great size moses perch and me working on our snapper bag. around nine oclock things were starting to work with me landing a pb mangrove jack of around 5kg. Barry an aj and craigo donating most of his tackle to the bottom. By midnight i'd past my snapper bag and craigo and baz had 1 or 2. At around 1am my deck winch started to come to life with a good amberjack of 9 kg and a good red of around 6 kg Which was the jack pot for me. After this things went very quiet except for craigo still losing gear on the bottom (one of those trips craigo) around 4 the wind got up a little so we set sail for noosa ariving at the bar at 7am with 30 fish and the need to sleep. Thanks again craig and barry hope you enjoyed the trip.

Gday they were striped sea perch or spanish flag. Nice eating if you can get them big enough these one were 36-40cm. the jack took a slimey and the red half a pilly. We did have a good variety of flesh baits too.

[black_sheep]

Well done boys. Nice haul of quality fish there Wadeo - makes up for your last trip up there. I bet Craigo was happy to see you get that Red - seeing that he is still chasing a legal one:o ;). Looks like another session of retying all his knots for him>:( ;D .

[wadeo]

Yeah black sheep getting to know that area alittle bit more every trip. When craigo gets his first red i rekon it will be a whopper. How have the reefs been treating you?.
regards wadeo

[scrubba01]

Hi Wadeo
Nice haul mate you've gotta love those Reef Jacks, not too often you get one of them.:D Next time I'm heading up that way I'll send you a pm see if you are interested. Great to see you got a good reward for putting in the hard yards.

[indy]

Nice work Wadeo great variety there still yet to get myself one of those reef jacks bet it would taste nice.

cheers pete...

[TCSunCoast]

Great fishing and nice variety. There is some great country up that way and this is the time of year to do it.
Don't worry about the sleep.

Craigo is well overdue for a big red. Maybe just tie on a 2ltr bottle of Heinz 'Big Red' tomato sauce mate ;) . As he can't catch fish, it would go with his chips - sure he'd appreciate that;D .

We fished the Sthrn Banks on Sunday for a mixed bag of 34 fish - mainly snapper, parrot and moses with a few pearlies thrown in.

Keep up the good work mate - will have to catch up one day at the ramp for a coldie - don't tell craig though:-X .

P.S. Just as well he's already serviced my car or I'd be in a bit of trouble:o ;) .

[wadeo]

HA HA he goes good usually (craigo). He's always up there on the fish count if not on top. Fishes hard as but we all have our off days unfortunetly. Maybe he should wear all red clothes when where chasing reds hehe. I have good footage of him kicking my ass on the banks. That sounds like a good catch you got last sunday black sheep well done.

regards wadeo;D

[seapup]

Nice work Wadeo a good mixed bag. Hope deep were you fishing?
