Mostly been chasing the macks on my half days. Haven't had a bag out for a couple of months but had a good trip two Mondays ago.

Snuck in my first serious bottom bashing day during the M&G. Got 20-25 good fish, mostly pearlies and snapper. This was the best on a plastic to Frank. Mostly 38-45cm fish though.

Lost a good mackerel the other day and first hit of the morning when the downrigger rod holder snapped, scratch one Tyrnos 20 combo and the mackerel of course.

I've also been taking a Phd student out on a few trips who is researching tuna. We have been trying to get them live to the Bribie Island Research Centre in tuna tubes. So far Skirmish point is as close as we have got.
