G'day all
Happy new year
My brother Todd and I headed up to Mooloolabha yesterday leaving my house at around 12.30 in the afternoon with plans on doing an overnighter at ever the barwon banks or wide caloundra depending on the weather conditions.
On arriving at the ramp the wind seemed to be blowing around 15knots of easterly and didn't really have high hopes of getting out to the banks and when we turned the corner out of the harbour the desicion was made to go to wide caloundra as it is 10 mile closer.
Conditions were not the best and we sat on only 15 knots the hole way out. On arriving at the spot the sounder came alive with fish probably the best show i have seen out there and as soon as a bait was dropped we where on to the snapper. We bagged out fairly quickly with the better fish coming on as the sun was dropping.
We also picked up a few pearlies and a trag and moses perch and with the esky looking fairly good and the conditions starting to get worse as the night went on we pulled the pick and headed home to be back at the boat ramp by 10 pm.
First fishing trip for the new year and quite happy with the result with plenty of snapper out there throwing alot of good fish back.
cheers pete...
