Missus birthday so thought I would take her out fishing with the promise of her first marlin. I actually got away with it even after waking her at 3:30am:D
On the water at Bribie by 5am and stopped off at just about every buoy on the way out to the cape looking for live bait. Only got the one small yakka and a couple of whiptails. Anyone wanting to part with some spots for catching live bait would be appreciated. Trolled skip & swim gar from the cape to hutchies for naught. Ventured out to the 100mtr line and back a few times, zipped all around hutchies and still couldn’t turn a trick. Around midday drifted the live bait for an hour or so off hutchies for no takers.
Put the skirts on and ventured out wide again and trolled back towards the cape. Saw a dozen or so flying fish take to the air and immediately got a double on dollies, one of which was a nice fish for the missus (happy birthday). Putting the spread back out and bang a small black hit the pusher I was feeding slowing out to the back of the spread but didn’t stick. 15 minutes later in the same area and more flying fish and another good dollie. Called it quits around four and headed back in, home by 5:30.
No bills for the season yet and missus still to get her first but a beautiful day on the water. Maybe mothers day is the day!
