3 of us fished the Hards Friday, with little current, 21.4 degrees & oily smooth water, fishing 74m. Snapper, pearl perch & Tuskies made up the catch, with 20 odd keepers. Whales everywhere with good dolphin activity. Out there at 1pm & back over Noosa bar 11pm. Tried attaching images but I am a techno idiot! Using a Mac, so I don't know if its easier on a PC. Any hints would be appreciated.

Well done mate. We showed up around 1pm and stayed overnight. Got a whale show and dolphin joined us most the arvo also, we stayed overnight and got 13 fish, bagged on snaps, a few pearlies and the rest tuskies and a redthroat.

Ended up blowing a good 15 most the night but seas stayed pretty good considering.. Back first thing.

Hallcomp,what is the fish 2nd from left on the top? Surprised the wind hit 15. We left at 9.30 & it was about 5 max. Had a good run back at 25knots as it was so flat.

That was a barracutta caught on a floater.. Thought it was a mack at first.. :(

The lines started "humming" a good tune in the launchers at about 10.30, by 11.30 it felt a good steady 13-15 from the north mostly. It kept like that for the rest of the time we where there.. We ended up anchoring back at northern banks cause we kept dragging where we where and wanted to sleep without the anchor alarm keeping me up..

But can vouch for the total glass out before that however, was an awesome day. Sat was crap in comparision.

Hey Tony maybe you should get the brains of the outfit to try attaching the pics. By the way thanks for the fish pics friday it was just what i needed when i was having a crap 13hour day at work with everything turning to sh1t. Made me feel so much better knowing you and Juna were out enjoying yourselves. We packed another 100 trays friday unexpected, what a week.

I should get Juna to do it. She is the clever one, as you'll attest to. Went out Friday for spanner crabs, but only got 1 keeper. While the traps were soaking, we threw some lures out the back & brought in a 7kg long tail. Very nice as sashimi! 3rd week straight over 1000 trays, but it'll stop soon, as we are out of stock!
