Hi,
Nothing much to report but I'm always reading other peoples posts so I thought I'd better make a contribution...
Headed out from Nudgee at a very lazy 9:30 and made our way through south passage, out the northern bar crossing and out to the 29/33 reef. The wind was pretty calm all day so it was a only about an hour each way in the new HH 585R doing 29 kts most of the way.
Drifted the same area with pilchards until about 2 pm and landed quite a few squire but only 3 keepers. A couple just over the legal size and one around the 40 cm mark. Was drifting about 1.8 kts but we didn't get any snags.
Great day out with lots of whales passing by and fortunately no dolphins - last time I fished Harrys there was a dolphin there trying to splash us with his tail!
The safety inspectors were working the boat ramp when we returned but was happy with my catch, life-jackets and flares so that was a relief.
Sorry no photos - everybody's seen squire anyway!
cheers
