Banks Session Sunday Morning

[Dave]

Left Brissy just after midnight and got to Kawana ramp around 2am. Headed out towards the banks with a gentle 1.5m swell. Further out we got the better the conditions. Pulled up on the first spot around 4.45am and things were a little quiet with a couple of Moses Perch and Husser coming on board. Fished there till 6.30 and then moved south a bit and got onto some Pearlies and Parrot, but still no snapper. Took a run up to the Hards and found a nice show. First drift saw a 5Kg snapper on board and they kept coming, mostly around the 3-5 kg mark. Also got a couple of Yellowtail Kings and a nice little Moarie Cod. Headed back in at 11.15 to a glassed out run at about 35Knots, 1 hour to get back in. The only downer for the trip was blowing a tyre on the trailer on the way home and not making a phone call to someone to let them know how we went. SORRY CHRIS.

Well done guy's i heard you on channel 21 saying you were doing alright and looks like you scored the goods.

[chicken]

Great conditions great catch.

[Dave]

Jim - Yeh we were on the highway at springwood when she blew. Put a couple of marks on the hull but they look like they eill polish out ok. Cant say the same about the number plate tho.

Sean - Yeh I will get these deckies moving a bit earlier next time. The run was a bit later than usual.

firetruck - The little Abu has taken everything I throw at it. I run 30 pound braid on it. The best it has done was a twenty minuite battle with a thirty pound Amberjack. Took the punishment ok. The only thing I had done was some new drag washers. I was told when I first got it that they were a bit lacking and just could not put much hurt on the fish. Had them upgraded and since then no worries.

Dale - Did you end up getting out? How did you go?

When westie goes 4X4ing the weather is fine as I was at LCMP last weekend, I am off to Double Island this weekend so weather should be good again. Good Luck ;D

Snappa I have your dreaded curse now, so you can return to the water again.
