Pity about the weather.......you should have picked your day more carefully. (extremely jealous here).

Cannot believe the mixed bag, and all of them BIG! what a great day out.

cheers fnq

[Pazz01]

Good stuff Daz. Water condition looks terrible. Great photos mate. Would you say the reds are a little slow still? Not enough movement in the tide yet. Where abouts did you fish for them ones? You heading out again over the weekend?

Hope the weather holds out, we are going tomorrow night. Hopefully a few are around.

Dave

[Wahoo]

thanks all, sorry about the poor write up

Chop Duster, more or less East to Jennie Louise

Mrs B1, i think thats a Blue Maori, and yes i did the tail Cut, thanks


Pazz0, reds are going ok, we come home with a few, i really think tonight and tomorrow will be better, they are being sneaky and not hitting hard, rather sucking and holding for some reason, we did drop quite a few thumpers, i sure you will get a few as they are there, a very good show on the sounder, quite a few good spanish, we had a rather large queenie as live bait in about 30m water and it got smashed by a another nice mac so the big guys are around, good luck out there tomorrow

Daz you guys got some real nice fish there ..it really was beautiful out,wasnt it?? and yeah go for it tomorrow night if you can because we both know how shitty the weather can be in winter up here..got to make the most of it when its good..;):)

Mate ..to be honest I'm so over taking out newbies and particularly female ones....

I need to find someone down here thats keen to fish ...It sucks being skipper but having to drive and still pull anchor...tie rigs and bait for others(4 snags..4 new paternoster rigs in 4 drops..I couldnt beleive it...:o)..never again will I take a newby out....

Then to top it off my GPS wasnt working...and I lost a real nice red emperor 5 metres under the boat to a bloody shark.. and also pulled the hooks on a spanish..:'(

FortunatelyI came home with a dozen trout and 15 trickies..good tucker but nothing of the quality that you guys caught...

Phew ...that feels better...;D

Scott

[nickstock]

That is a quality haul there Daz! The weather is just fantastic at the moment hey!

Scott- It makes it hard taking newbies out .Surely there would be someone at Mission that was into fishing for a decky for you mate>?

Once again Daz, Quality catch for you and the lads!

Nick

[dfox]

well im glad you got that off your chest mate, i know how it can get with newbies, at least you come home with a great feed of fish, shame about the red and spanish thou, is it just a wiring prob with the GPS ?, well hope thats all...


Daz

[disorderly]

Your getting closer scott, only 5 meters to go!! ;D ...

Oh you are cruel b@stard Foxy ;D...Man I almost cried...I fought him for nearly 150 feet and was starting to celebrate when I saw colour ,then I watched it happen as the shark grabbed him, locked the drag to try and pull it away from the shark but only succeeded in straightening an 8/0...

Drifted back over the the ground and only caught and undersized one next..:(



And Daz I'm really envious of that Hoo..I havent yet caught one of those yet either...

Gday Daz,

Holly and I went out today. It was like a bloody mill pond. I found a nice rubble patch in 40 meters where we bagged out on nice red throat around 4kgs and also caught and released some spangles to around 3kgs. I lost 2 nice reds that I am guessing prob around 6 kgs. Bagged out on Trout and Red Throats within a few hours so can not complain.

Had to keep moving as an 8 foot Hammerhead made things hard to get fish in the boat.

A good day out by most in FNQ the last few days hey!

[ronnien]

daz,
mate you dont need a big story with pics like that.
well done to yous.

ron.

[maimai]

that is some serious fish there mate, well done, i still can't believe what a great mixture of fish, and the ocean is like i have never seen before , great pics and no need to worry about a report to much with pics like that, well done fella....

BJ

[jake0]

Daza, well done mate, that has to be the biggest wahoo for your boat this year????we just got back from up top, did well with the barra, say gday to jimbo for me

[ryeham]

Fantastic brace of fish you've got there.....nothing better than coming home with a great catch....well done. Cheers.

[disorderly]

Hay Daz, I'm curious as to how you managed to claim the spanish and the hoo and your deckie only ended up with a scrawny rainbow runner...

Is that owners privilege or something? ;);D

Scott

[revs57]

Yeah Daz, how dare you put up a thread with water looking so flat!!!;)

I can't remember seeing conditions sooo goood, you're making us all green down here! That's a nice rainbow runner on the hardbody - they go like all get out too.

You may not have caught a lot, but a lovely mixed bag none the less. Bet the red fish tasted good. Thanks for the pics, keeps the dream alive and us going while the weather is crap

Good fish there Wahoo and the water is glass. Hey i am going up there in the next month so i was wondering which trip to take for off shore and estuary for some jack, barra, and everything you caught. I was wanting to use plastics up there so how do they go also. What should i chase up there in late May so i know what to bring more off. Cheers and good fish.
