Magic day with calm winds, dead flat seas but the elephant in the room was the strong currents out wide that necessitated chasing catches on the shallower reefs!

I went out with Dave Palermo from MORETON ISLAND FISHING CHARTERS who, unlike many operators, never gave up chasing fish for the ten of us!

A great boat being hammered along by 2 x 300 hp Yammies, heaps of room, well set up with great gear, bait and tackle all within easy reach. Dave and Decky Dean never stopped looking after us and I’d highly recommend them if you want an efficient and professional fishing trip!

Fish were a bit scarce but we all got a good feed with a nice cod and parrot making up the overall haul!

Another charter boat came in with a dozen cat food kingfish so I think our bottom bashing was better value for money!

I’ll be watching the current situation off shore and as soon as it drops off, I’ll be back out again!
