The B/Banks Sunday session

[-spiro-]

We left Kawana at about 4am after there was a bit of a M/G at the pontoon. The Ausfish tribe was made up of Streaker, Razza,Cheech,Snapper,No_Luck and myself aswell as ??? a couple of tag alongs ???.
The trip out was a bit sloppy and improved in some spots, but not enough to get into top gear. It took us about 1 and 1/2 hours to reach the southern end of the Hards. Which gave us time to have a bit of radio contact with other Ausfish boys {Sea Saw and Foxy}.
Once we got to the Hards i got nailed on my first drop by a good Snapper and then another bigger one. By this time im thinking this is going to be a cracker of a day 8). Then we did'nt get any fish for a hour or so. We moved around a couple of times and got a couple of mixed reefies. Then we found a spot where some horse sized parrot were. We caught 10 or so and then we went off the patch. Tried for a different speices on other parts of reef we found with no luck.
By this time i saw a big cat jumping out of the water, i looked over at Snappa and i think he would of had a boner ??? at the sight of Foxy's rig Looked awesome foxy with only 3-4ft of arss end in the water
Left for home early with a good feed onboard for all. The profish let the deckies and myself know that it was going to be a arss pounding ride home . Next time Foxy stop let me onboard and the deckies can meet us at the ramp while i have a couple of bundies.
This is my first proper snapper this year. Can only hope for more to come with greater weight.

[Angla]

nice bag of fish there. You've gotta like the new cleaning tables at Kawana.
I''ll have to follow you guys out one day as I've never got a bag like that ever.

Gotta ask this, Do you normally scale your fish? I seem to always just fillet off the bone then flip and remove the skin.

Angla.
We fillet and skin most of the fish. But it is allways good to have a few in the freezer to bake when people come over.

Didn't end up weighing it due to the wait for the tables at the ramp. A couple of fella's filleting iodine bream and gold spot. They where happy with it so.............
