1770-2/5/06 bag out

[agnes_jack]

Headed out early tuesday, Weather report wasn't brilliant for the morning but was too drop out in the arvo. Headed across the bar at about 6am. It was really calm in close, but by about 1 mile offshore we ran into a nasty chop. We continued out to a very close mark and decided to wait it out for a while and see if it eased up a bit. Nothing happening at all on that peice of reef, so after an hour or so of catching rubbish, we decided to head back in to the headland and have a play around. There was a few schoolies in close but nothing decent, so we did a bit of checking out bait grounds etc.
By about 10.00 it was just starting to drop off so we bit the bullet and headed for spot XB>>4!! :D

A bumpy ride out, but the conditions were improving quickly. We found some interesting stuff on the sounder and dropped the pick.
The next 45min was just full on, the baits were getting hit as soon as they touched bottom, hardly had a chance to put the reels in gear!!!
Ended up bagging out on trout and reds, got a few big goldspots, 1 grassy and 1 parrot!!
Some of the catch!!

thats a fair sized trout your holding in your left hand. how big and what bait did you catch him on. i imagine the trout will be picking up a little as the weather cools. i remember the old mans first trout a 5.6kg monster from 15 mile off bundy. best fishing day on the old RP1. definitly a day to remember when they come on board.

I hold your fishing grounds close to my heart, My PB Trout was pulled of your Spot-X between Round Hill and Fitroy ::) Think it's time to change my Avatar to display the beast ;)

bagged out on reds and trout..... thats something to be proud of [smiley=thumbsup.gif], puts me in the mood for a trip off 1770 ;D ;D
awesome stuff

[agnes_jack]

Thanks for all the replys fella's
We can consistantly get trout that size, and normally pick up the odd red in our travels, but to bag out on both species is rare. Especially when it all happens in about 45min's :o :o :o
Went out again this morning, rough as bags!!! but still managed a few snodger trout, grassies, big hussar, dolphin fish, nannigai etc.
Will post another report shortly :D

Regards, Tony

[Poodroo]
