Headed up to rainbow to meet the old man and go for a fish, weather was supposed to be perfect wednesday and thursday but conditions were far from perfect. Ended up fishing a little bit of a ledge we know holds good snapper if they are around.
Got to the mark just as the sun was coming up, probably an hour to late in all reality but we had to wait for some light to cross the bar as we hadn't crossed it in almost 12 months and it has changed quite a bit.
I got one nice knobby on the first drift and a nice pearly, thought we could be onto a few good fish but as the sun come up the wind picked up and we started drifting too fast, decided to anchor up and first drop saw Bob get his first legal red, once again hopes were high but the fish just didn't want to play the game. Hooked into a good fish on a live yakka only to get it up to find it was a leopard shark about 7-8 foot long, line was cut and off he swum, tried a couple of other spots without much luck and decided to head in early as it was getting very bumpy. Ended up with a mixed bag of coral bream, parrot, squire, etc only around 20-25 fish.
Couple of pics attached.
Got a 2 day 2 nite charter off Fraser on 11-13th so hopefully get stuck into the red fish on that!! There is two spots available if anyone is interested details are in the meet and greet section.
