sunday night off moreton

[outsiderskip]

left manly about 3pm sunday arvo with greg [lafin ]
on board travelled across the bay and off shore doing 60 klm and was out there in not time to our first spot.a few nice snapper boated soonand with sun going down did one more drift before going out wide got these 2 stonker perlies that were aroung 3,5kgs .after arrivingout deep did a short drift found few trag and odd nice snapper dropped the anchor and fished most off the night pulling in mostly trag with odd snapper only, sharks were thick again loosing many rigs
at one stage we had to stopfishing at 11.30 because we had lost 11 fish to sharks in a rowso we had 3 hrs sleep then back into catching again
the last 2 yrs shark have been a nuisancebut this year is the worst ive experenced

Hey Pete,
Good to see you got amounst them. Bugger about the sharks. Mate, lucky i did not come with you, was up most of the night driving the porcelain bowl, Some bad food somewhere through the day.
Give us a call next time you go out.

Cheers, Mark

Nice work there Pete!

Heard you on 21 saying you where getting into the trag.
Share farming is a real problem in the deep atm.
We fished shallow and no problems.
A few other ausfishers out there sunday as well. Pretty sure we saw Liberty 2 around the cape on dusk.

Scoota...

Hi Pete,

They are the best Pearlies I have seen this season. Funny that you only caught two.

I love eating Trag so I will be keen to see if they stay around for a while.

Well done mate. Good call on the weather.

Good job pete, Great to see you still getting into some good fish. Shame there was only 2 of those pearlies.

I'm surprised your not finding more snaps this time of year.

Cheers

[bondy99]

Very good effort Pete, maybe a couple of sharks would have been good to get if they were under 4 foot. They make good eating too.

[Midnight]

Gday
Nice pearlies.

I was thinking exactly what Bondy said! Just turn them into barrels and gut them at onto ice asap. Just watch the sharp end of course.

Cheers,
Myles

[outsiderskip]

[vertico]

top fishing pete how was the trip back in across the bar :P

[outsiderskip]

no troubles
bar was flat

[Horse]

Glad yo got a decky Pete. I bet when the first two Pearlies popped up you thought you were on the mother lode. I can accept a fish or two to the taxman in grey but what you are copping this season is beyond a joke:-/

[vertico]

yerh i heard you had some near misses :P

[outsiderskip]

i did but mate hit the wreck

[Seahorse]

Hi Pete.
Mate, glad u went well. thanks again for the phone call, it was appreciated.
Maybe another time.


cheers
greg

[Fishing_Freddy]

Well done
Ken :beer:

[outsiderskip]

as i have this year
pete

[vertico]

wind faster you old weak fella :P

[bondy99]

Pete, you might have to use sunset mode.

[RAT-KING]

Well done sounds like a great night!
I would say the problem with the suits is only gonna get worse, with the decline of fish and no-one targeting the noahs.
Cheers Simon

[Jurkyjj]

Fantastic Pearlies Pete.

Great session by the look of it!! Bloody sharks. Certainly makes a session a nightmare when they won't stop taking fish.

Cheers, well done.
