Barwon Banks 08/08/2012

[wave dancer]

A few of the boys have been putting in the hard yards and working long hours. They enjoy their fishing and a coldie so to show my appreciation I thought I would combine the two.
I booked a day charter out to the Barwon Banks aboard Prospector (Offshore Reef & Game Fishing Mooloolaba). Left Mooloolaba at 5.30am and cruised out to the banks in glassed out conditions. We hadn’t even left the harbour and the boys had cracked a coldie and it was cheers all round so I knew we were in for a good day .
The skipper put us onto some good spots with some good size fish coming aboard and a good variety. No real trophy size fish however everyone landed themselves a nice feed. The friendliness of the skipper and deckie, a thousand beers with laughs and the fish that were caught made it a absolute magical day. The pics below were my contribution to the ice box.



Cheers, Mick

Thanks for the comments guys. Rosco you are safe as the skip as i have no intentions of jumping ship however i did make sure we went out on a cat lol. Madmackrel i am searching and holding auditions for a entertainment manager, however i think it might be a different type of entertainment. Unfortunately i dont think you will fit the job description. lol

Cheers Mick

[thelump]

Well done Mick. Sounded like you were having fun when you called me on the radio. Some good fish there mate.

[cuzzamundi]

Well done, mate. Sure sounds like a good place to work.

Is that a sharkcat in your avatar? Would you ever take it out to the banks? I guess if you had a few to take care of a charter would be better/roomier.

Hi Cuzza, yes the shark cat in my avatar is mine. It is a 5.5m original bruce harris. I have just recently fitted brand new twin 130hp saltwater series yammies on the old girl and tarted her up a bit. She goes like a rocket and eats up the swell and chop without a drama. They are a very stable boat and the rougher it gets the more they perform, ( bit like a bird i once knew ) lol. I would gladly take myself and two deckies out to the banks but due to the size and limited deck space any more would be a waste of time. However a bigger cat and more horsepower isnt to far away.

Cheers Mick

Hey rosco, you forgot one thing mate. Bring a couple of bottles of wine and then start talking to the misses and i think it will be a done deal, lol . As for the red cans you are always welcome to empty as many as you like. The marks will be sweet especially the one for the honey hole.

Cheers Mick
