finally worked out how to scan pictures so i have a picture of my spotty mackeral from the great spotty mackeral boil at noosa. i caught a whole 1 fish. probably my most enjoyable fish to catch put up a decent fight.
cheers philip

the mackeral were boiling about 50m from the shore line at easter they were everywere very thick. they were boiling for about 3 weeks. the spotties are still out at the reefs at noosa. were do you normally fish around noosa when your there. the noosa bar is stuffed atm. virtually uncrossible. at christmas you should try trolling through the bay you could get some good spaniards that tme of year.
cheers philip

[MTpockets]

Usually little halls, big halls then off to do runs along the front of sunshine is the go. Sometimes we go out to barwon banks, but only if we are desperate. Cant remember the name of the reef opposite devils gates but we usually start there and nice spaniards haunt it when its on.
The bar has been crap for ages now and makes going out a pain in the bum, but getting there is half the fun I spose
cheers

it is jew shoal just out from the headland has a big pinicalle rises upto about 7m over pinicale. the dive boats do a lot of diving at jew shoal im going on a charter there sometime soon the charter boat draws 1.2m so it will be very intersting to see how he gets across. do you ever try bottom bashing at sunshine? quality coral trout and sweetlip are around at chrissy time. numerous times on the charter we have bounced along the sand coming in other times we have had everyone on the bow of the boat to raise the back. quite a fun experience
cheers philip
p.s. this is a pick of the mackeral boiling in a small group there were about 20 boils like this everywere awsome fun.

awesome pic Philip, never seen that at xmas time usually not that calm either. Thats the name of the reef I was trying to remember, jew shoals We ofter bottom bash from the bar out to the headland on the reefs thru there, but rarely off sunshine do we try bottom, but will give it a try next time. cheers

Not much in the photo album but they exist on video. Bit of a variety, rainbow trout 4.8kgs on fly in NZ, a metre long 'couta caught while catching gars on 1.5 line and a #10 hook, striped marlin 90kgs on live bait on the shelf outside Montagu island. Noel.

Well - heaps of this species make up the biggest catch for a lot of anglers. Here is this years effort (caught in May) of a 20+kg cobe at Palm beach reef. My biggest fish so far.

Cheers
Steve.

Sorry about the crap picture but my good neighbour has the original photo .I caught this 18.3/4lb Snapper at a spot south of wide caloundra.We just finished cleaning up the boat and I had the last line in the water when it hit.Good way to finish up a top day's fishing I think

[Big_Al_2]

36lb Qld Groper caught at the Limmen Bight River a couple of months ago on 20lb line. Released for another day.
