Around 1770 & Fitzroy

[Fisher_Boats]

Hi all,
Just spent two weeks at 1770 with friends and family. #(Can't wait to go back #;D)
Had pretty average weather but still managed a couple trips over to Fitzroy. [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]
During the windy days we managed some nice flathead on softies and some mackies around the headland.
The house we stayed in was on the way into Agnes and backed onto the creek.
Jay and Bonesy kept us supplied with good muddies out of the creek. [smiley=dankk2.gif]
Fishbone and Dave_S spent the fortnight there as well and Scotty no frills came up for a couple days.
Caught up with Lucky Phill and Agnes Jack.
Poor buggers having to work up there, must be tough #:D
The following pics will tell the rest of the story.

Cheers Col

Jay with an average muddie :)

Bonesy scored this big Chinaman .
He goes hard for a young fella :o

[Fisher_Boats]

[DALEPRICE]

[DaneCross]

Sounds like a great trip Col and crew. Congrats Bonsey on your first trout and your other catches [smiley=2thumbsup.gif] Looks like you and Jay had those muddies well sussed [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

[Lucky_Phill]

Yes, Col and crew.

Thanks for the invite to dinner to share the days catch of mud crab and " Local " prawns ::)

All in all, you guys did well. I reckon you are on the money though, spending 2 weeks here is better than 1. Then again, I am bias and have at least another 3 months work here.

So, by the time you come back, I'll have the REDS sorted....... don't tell Dale :-X ;D

And you do know, the best day's weather was the day ya packed up. ?

Cheers Phill

ps. That really is a Wild Thing !!!!!!! :o :o

G'Day Col and Crew,

Awesome looking trip - well done on the muddies Jay & Bonesy #- and some quality fish too. Looks like you were using soft plastics out on the reef too - that's unreal.

[kingcobe]

Nice spaniard. I bet it was scarey when the shark came up and took that fish.

[Jay_S]

Come on Phil you know they were local prawns ;D ;D

Hey Dane..... how's it going mate? Been getting any fish lately.

Maccamania.... they were on bait out the reef, we got a couple good feeds of trout and lippers.

Kingcobe.... It was fun :)

Cheers Jay

Great trip there boys! ;D , Love the photos of the cut in half chinaman trout... must have been a hell of a fight getting that thing out of its hole.

Col, must be great to have a couple of kids that put fresh mud crab on the table for dinner! Now thats what i call paying there way LOL.

Good on yas im jealous.

Unusual for a shark to take a chinaman. They usually wait for reds or trout.

[twodogsfishing]

how hard do those chinaman go...stretch arm strong stuff after that effort

[Deelirious]

Col,
That sounds like a great family trip, with the good fishing a bonus. I particularly like the shots of the spanish, and am currently working with the minister of war and finance to let me get up there and into a few of those with the Deelight.

Boat is great by the way. I have slowed down the hours now at about 460 odd but planning to stick a few more on once the new bub settles a bit.

Good to see you still fishing, and fishing well as always.

Cheers

[agnes_jack]

Good on ya Col and crew!!
Ya didn't go too bad considering the weather mate. Looks like those Jay and Bonesy did most of the hard work though ;D
Good to meet you all in person and I look forward to your next visit.

Regards, Tony and Sandi :D

Col and Barry at Wreck Rock - Col said he had a bite....

Dave_S with a nice little Coronation Trout - very pretty little fish, Weather was a little wet and windy...

[Fishbone]

Only 45 Kms to go - wind was 15 knots and it didn't drop out later in the day, made for a long trip home in the night.

[Fishbone]

The Hervey Bay Tabs boys got some nice trout - biggest was 3.75Kgs
