Just back from our twice yearly 4 day venture, fishing, trolling the length of breaksea spit and around the light ship off the top of fraser.
Weather was perfect, except for the northerleys which kept things quiet.
In the speedster we nailed longies, macks, spandiards, wahoo and 1 big couta.
Reefies ranged from tuskies, lippers, emperors, a diverse range of cod, wrasse, and only 1 snapper.
Throw in buckets loads of hussar, and alfie langers.
Most reefies came on bottom bashers, with floaters of slimies and yellowtail coming in second.
The speedsters came on trolled kangas and unweighted slimies. The slimies won in the end.
Weaponery ranged ffrom 27-15kg broom sticks, coupled up to tiagra 50's--25's, penn 114h and 330's.
Best in the razor gang 18kg wahoo and 16kg spaniards.
Best in the reefies 22kg cod, 12kg red, 9kg wrasse.
Some serious bust offs, mainly by the grey suits and a lot of heads boated.
Also trialed some 6" shads complements of Ausfish, and had some success on them.
The top of the bay off rooneys wednesday morning on our way back, was a boiling mass of mac's.
If you missed one school, it only took a few minutes to find another.
By lunch our shiamos 650's and penn 650's were smokin and our arms 6" longer (great fun) on 45g raiders and halcos.
We have another trip planned soon, and if you want a trip that will fill most of your dreams, give us a call as we have 1 0r 2 spots still to fill.
But if your prone to a little berleying over the sides, forget it, as we are out for nearly 4 days.
and only return if your break a arm or a leg.
some pics below.
regards
