A trip to the banks was penciled in about a month ago. Preparation was undertaken, now all we needed was the weather to co-operate and we were going to the banks.
The call was made on Friday, weather was good. Left the Mooloolaba ramp at 12:30pm headed out to the local bait grounds. Live bait was there but not biting. Managed to get half a tank of bait and proceeded to the first mark on the banks. Thanks Clint! ;) A quick drift produced one good snapper and a lot of lost bait to small reefies. The call was made to head out to the second mark, given by another mate who says that it's a very secret mark? :-X Upon arrival, there were 3 other boats and a trawler all parked around that spot. Very Secret!
A couple of drifts produced nothing and the decision was made to head back to the first spot. As soon as we got back, it was on! First drop and we were all on. Within half an hour we had a very healthy kill tank. This comintued for the next 2 hrs with quality snapper coming over the side. ;D
Squid were everywhere and one shark that wouldn't leave us alone. The switch was turned off and the bites stopped. We made our way home and were back at the ramp by 11pm.
