Run Off Cap Coast

[jtpython]

With the weather forecasted to be 5/10 we waited till saturday afternoon before heading out wide to chase some reds. Well waited till the wife got back from brisbane to go to the pink concert and after a quick hi hello goodbye the mate and i and the daughter left to play with the reds. Well 22 km into the 60 plus km trip turned sloppy so we went to a couple other places till settling in for a fish and a sleep some 31 km from the harbour.........This produced nothing but 1 hussar till 6 30 am after a sleepless night. Southerly was up but we grinned and bared it to head to some red ground. this met us with trigger fish after trigger fish:-/ So the call was made to head further out for another spot at some better rocky a ground. Ancoring up seen hussar after hussar coming over the side (better then Triggers) Then some lippers, and a 3kg trout beening scored by the mate........ I hadn't caught a fish bar one hussar as i got hammered on a whole mullet from a 4 kg trout going into the esky. The mate and daughter still leaving me for dead seen another mullet engulfed by a good 6kg red and then a couple more lippers and bluey's come over the side and thats was when we made the call at lunch tiime to head home to get some loven off my wife LOL
Hot tongue and cold shoulder is all ill be getting tonight
Thank god for Jim Beam

Nice red and trout JT. I have also used river mullet outside but have had mixed results. Usually get a decent trout though.

Was a mongrel sloppy easterly most of the time was a buggar heading straight into it and wasn't keen on slogging it out for another 40 km
Which wasn't to bad in the morning with the southerly running across it from Lisa Jane

Top post as usual JT, thanks for sharing. Good to see your daughter out there with you.

I took my 12year old daughter out to the shoals on sunday. We caught a good size trout & she was wrapped.
I'm hoping to take her out for an overnighter in a few weeks if the weather gods allow, i don't want to scare her off with rough weather.

Cheers Gazza

[jtpython]

Make sure ya thrust a couple of Travelcalms into just in case ........ Mine has alot of times but steered her away from milk before trip out in her ceral...... toast or eggs was the go as a deterent
. Most maybe nerves being so far out to. The dvd player in the boat for slack times isn't bad either. But she had a good fishing rod and reel this time she handled it well
