Still went up to Cardwell on Sunday, despite the M&G being held over.
Would have probably went to Fishers but the low, low in the arvo, we had doubts about getting back in around 4 or 5pm.
Weather was a bit erratic, blowing for a while then stopping. A good shower of rain around 9 & more storm clouds brewing didn't look promising, it cleared by about 10.
Had a good day though. What a difference a couple of mths makes, last trip up there we struggled (lucinda comp). Yesterday seemed like there was barra everywhere, not too many bigguns seen, most in the 40 to 50 size, a couple in the 60's. Still a little timid, plenty of follows out of the snags & half hearted swipes but still we caught a few & dropped a few.
We were mainly up the northen end, till the tide forced us out, then down around the middle of the channel. The .18m low was hard to find some good snags still in the water, but once found, it was like they were all there waiting for us #;D.
In the hr just before low we grabbed 4 barra, (& dropped heaps more, but still fun), numerous cod, including 1 biggun of 4 or 5kg, and a few jacks & trevally, off the one snag.
Some days it feels like you're the Statue, some days you're the pidgeon.
Al, the good producing place at low tide was where you dropped that one on the second day of the comp weekend.
