G'day all Ausfishers,
With the weather prediction so good, we had plans for our first trip to the Hards. Set out from Mooloolba at about 3:30am. No livies to be had at the usual spot, so we proceeded to head out in good time. We travelling along with Clint06 to explore the new ground. Hlaf way out we hear a small bang and loose reading on the sounder. Thinking the transducer has flicked up I went to the back to click it back into position. Feeling around and no transducer? :o Feel around a bit more and the wire has broken as well! :'( :'( :'( That put a dampener on the whole experience. Not happy to say the least.
We continued out with Clint as the scout. I only had two marks for the hards, so clint sounded around and found the structure. Did a couple of drifts for some nice squire and reefies. Clint headed off to find some new ground whilst we anchored a managed to catch a couple of nice snappery-squire.
Drifted a few spots on the way home with no luck, and left Clint at about midday averaged 35kn all the way back, awesome conditions. I hear he went to his cobia spot and got a few? Now I'm off to get a new transducer!
