mooloolaba 16th december

[jeffo]

fished wide of mooloolaba yesterday. most of the action was wide of the banks. Only had the one marlin shot and luckily he stayed stuck...my first for the summer ;D. #found an area with plenty of mahi mahi between about 8 and 10kg's so we caught a couple for a feed.

a few shots to add..unfortunately i cant take the credit for the marlin shot, i was on the rod ;D.
enjoy.

Jeffo,

Outstanding work on the camera, though I bet the photographer wishes he/she was on the rod!!!

Jeff

Great stuff. Glad you got amongst it, they seem to be a bit slow in your neck of the woods at the moment. Hopefully a few more will find their way into your pattern.

Jeffo good work I hope that is the start of something.

Great photo's. What size lens are you using for those shots. Do the digital slrs have a slow focus speed like regular digital cameras. Do you have the camera set on continous or do you try to anticipate the jump and take single shots accordingly. Also do you leave the camera on fully auto settings or do you prefer to fix an aperture or shutter speed in a manual mode.
Sorry bout all the questions just really interested.
Jeremy

[jeffo]

jeremy- all manual settings. lense is 90-300. the digital SLR's are much much much faster than your normal digital. i have it set on a single shot and anticipate the jump, once you have seen a few billfish its easy to know where and when they will come up.

shane- he was only a little fella, about 20-30kg..normal size around here.

[DICER]

great pics, yet again!

[Good_as_Gold]

Great shots there mate

[Billo]

Yeeehaa ....finally got that Monkey off your Back Jeffo !?

damn good pic mate , give the photographer a pat on the back #;D
Thats better then Crabbing mate

[Mick81]

Jeffo, nice work there ;D May i ask what you were using to catch those whoppas?

[DaneCross]

Jeffo! Nice fish - the first of many this season no doubt ;) ;D

[Dug]

pity you were using that Canon Cr@p camera imagine what shots you could have got from a decent Nikon ;)

Nice stuff glad it is working well for you you seem to have the hang of it now.

cheers and a merry and fishy christmas

Hello jeffo,
we went out last monday to the banks, great day, flat + hot + no current + NO FISH worth getting out the camera for.
Was there any current out there on Friday ?
We also tried to find the fad for a dollie or two but its gone ?
Did have 3 Dollies come up to the boat over the mid banks but disappeared before we could feed them some pillies.
+ nice pics.

[vertico]

bloody nikon users i dont know! ;D

[lukesnapper]

well done on the catch jeffo thats a solid fish! and what a photo to show it off.

[magicpudding]

I see what you mean bout a nice photo! I think jeffo has gone back to the good old days of rod grabbing ;D He also somehow was the angler for another black on our boat yesterday, even though one of the other guys was already thumbing the reel! haha

If it was a Nikon the fish would be at least twice as big ;) ;) ;)
