Dame Notherly, Murphies, Blinker, Outer and Inner Neerings toda.

Up this morning with Jack Frost, Bro turned up and off we went. Launched at Mooloolaba and straight out to Murphies, hard to find a fish on the sounder. 30 mins then we moved to outer neerings, burley up and a couple of small fish but they were throw backs, time to move. Inside the blinker a big show on the sounder so here we go should be a fish in this lot worth keeping. But no good just a couple of red rock cod.

Back to the inner neerings and still no good. Very frustrating fishing. But thats what keeps me going back I guess!!!!!!

Had the marine radio on and was listening to a couple of calls and it sounds like every body was doing is tough with the Northerly's blowing.

The water temp was 19.5 c and it looked pretty good. There was a bugger of a chop on the water.

Anyone got any ideas on using berley buckets as in what depth to have them at. I have decided to lower mine down a few meters next time.

Hope everyone is getting a couple.
Cheers Bicko;D

Shoulda been there yesterday......

Am I wrong in saying the red rock cod are very good on the chew? I've read that they have a very nasty poison in the spine though.

Yeah they have nice thick white fillets but watch those spines!

hey bicko, your not the only one mate. i was out wednesday ary and found it very light on, with only a few pearlies, couple of sweetlip and a lonely tuskie, no snaps though wich was what we were hoping for. had a chat to a couple at the ramp before going out n they were saying the same thing.
we had the intension to stay out there the night and head out wide on thursday, afews hours into the night n that slop soon sent us back home with a full tank of juice and bait for next trip.
