I was already awake a cheesed off at five O’clock because the weather bureau had predicted high winds for Saturday. I turned the radio on to listen to Dave Downie’s fishing program when I heard the Senior Forecaster say that the front had passed through last night and the winds would drop off to about five knots.

I didn’t need an invitation and decided to head out to get some billies. I was excited!!!

Ben and I headed out from Bribie to Caloundra wide and trolled a four-skirt pattern. We trolled up the “Trench” round Hutchies, past Flinders’, down to Deep Tempest, up to Shallow Tempest and back to Smith’s….NOTHING!!!! Not a Sausage!!!!

When all else fails you can always cast a plastic. The Snapper are sure to jump on.

Amazing stuff.. Three casts and three Snapper. We decided to give it a miss and go home to try another day..

Nice snappas Francoo,

Did the wind pick up much in the morning at the cape.

Looked very nice there and you couldnt have hoped for more. ;)

The bouy might be a crab pot hey ;D

Finding-Time is right on the money.

Size 9 sea anchor.

We never acchor up when using plastics so we slow the boat to a slow crawl with the use of a sea anchor. It costs a bit but well worth the money.

Thanks Big-Ren.

There are lots of fish out there. The difference is the way you think. If you think like a fish you might even catch a few more.

Good report again Frank, your glorious boat always gets blooded by nice fish, I think you need a couple of helpful deckies to give it a good scrub after a day out. LOL Don't worry, we don't charge much! ;D

I think maybe you could have played with the snapper in the bay and got the same result as this trip. Waddaya reckon? :o
