"THE HARDS" FRIDAY 26 MAY - NOOSA.

[seapup]

FISHED THE HARDS LAST FRIDAY AFTERNOON. CROSSED THE NOOSA BAR AROUND 1PM..WHICH WAS LOW TIDE WITH A 1.5M SWELL RUNNING.. HAD TO KEEP HER ON THE PLANE THE WHOLE WAY AND WE TOOK A FEW SOLID WAVES OVER THE BOW! ONCE OUT WE HEADED TO OUR BAIT GROUNDS AND LOADED UP ON YAKKAS AND SLIMEYS. GOT OUT TO THE TOP OF THE HARDS AROUND 3:30PM AND SOUNDED AROUND. THERE WERE A LOT OF FISH BUT NONE WERE TO HUNGRY UNTIL ABOUT 5PM. THEN WE STARTED PULLING IN SNAPPER TO 4KG. ALSO CAUGHT PARROT, PEARLYS, 2 X REDS, MOSES PERCH, ROSY JOBFISH AND COBIA. WE QUICKLY BAGGED OUT AND HEADED HOME AT 7PM - CROSSED THE BAR IN THE DARK ON HIGH TIDE AND WAS HOME WATCHING TV BY 9:30PM. THE FISHING WAS NOT AS FAST AS MY LAST TRIP 3 WEEKS AGO BUT WAS STILL OK. ONLY 1 PHOTO OF THE CATCH ATTACHED MINUS A COUPLE OF SNAPPER, PARROT AND 2 X RED EMPEROR(MY MATE TOOK THEM HOME BEFORE I TOOK PHOTO OF THE HAUL). HOPEFULLY THEY ARE HUNGRIER NEXT TRIP!! ;D

The AJs didn't play the game this time hey Seapup? Top catch no matter. Was there much current running up there? We were out at the middle Banks on Saturday and there was stuff all current.

Cheers
Paul :)

Hi Paul,
No AJ's for me on friday! Not happy! I always love hooking into the odd AJ! The current was very slow until around 6:30pm on friday night and then it got really strong. My mates were 2 miles to the south west of me on friday and said the same!
Cheers,
Ben. :)
