Headed out to the SPB at about 5.45am from Raby Bay. The bar was ok and we got there at Deep Tempest with a light Sw wind and little set. The drift was heading south and first few drops produced some keepers. But after that we kept getting undersize squires(snapper) and the fish shut down. After moving to a few spots a number of times to no avail, by 11am we were short of our bag by 8 fish. Then they came on with four of us onboard, four down four up. In no time we had our bag so we headed back to the ramp with the wind just picking up. The return trip through the bar was ok but around the shingles it was sh*t. Putting it mildly. Apart from that, the trip was good with good weather and fish to boot. Sorry no pics

How'd you go size wise?
I fished the 70m mark off moreton on Sunday and first 3 fish were 62cm, 64cm and 58cm. Ended up keeping 8 between two of us. the rest were all high 40's and one at 37 that took the gangs right down the throat.
Are there bigger fish in the deeper water?

Hi Finicky, The fish were pretty much your size. The bigger ones haven't come in yet. I hope they will turn up this year.
