The 12mile:)

[JayT]

Hey guys an gals,

Went for a run with my sidekick Al an hit cal 12mile twice in the last week resulting in some nice fish including a very healthy trout:)
Most fish came aboard from the result of live yakka's just fished on the bottom
with a snood rig an 5ball with the snaps an some others to pillies, Al was hitting pb's on nearly all fish an even landed a nice red throat an he also had a tussle with quite a large bronzy which I filmed:)

Also scored a coupla crabs on the first trip too so happy days:)
All in all a couple of great little trips with about 30ltrs per trip used,
Anyways heres some pics of the last 2 trips,

Cheers Jay

Nice catch mate. What did the trout weigh in at? My mate caught an 8kg trout out there quite some years ago I can still see it pop out from under the boat it was a beautiful sight! Deano.

[JayT]

Yeah spiro its fishing quite good at the mo.
Deano didnt weigh the trout unfortunately but she wouldnt have gone much under the 8kg bracket I reckon, was a beautiful sight in real time when she did just that an popped out from under the boat, with plenty of laughter an even a high 5 I think:)
First trout this far south for us an although I know they are there your usually bricked before ya know what has even happened!

where were the sandies?

[JayT]

Funny you say that jeffo, on the first trip we were actually up at coochin with the pots an decided to head down near the boardwalk an grab a burger, so we did that an was looking at the bar thinkin too good to pass up ...so we skipped out for a look an decided to drop the pots in 20 odd feet just outside the bar, left them there o/night an on our return the next day 7 sandies, ripper!

thanks Jayt, we used to get a bunch of sandies just outside the mooloolah river in the bay there, but over the past few years they seam to have disapeared. I have always thought there has to be places to catch them outside yet still in close.

[JayT]

Crab sanga's an beer battered cod...yes please:)
Jeffo thats what I kind of thought when I dropped them out there plus I was also thinking I may have had a better chance of them still being there when I got back too!
Cheers Jay
