    Sunshine Reef trip

    Hi People
    Left home at 3.30am to go for a fish at Sunshine Reef this morning.The trip out was one of the best trips I have ever had.The conditions were perfect to say the least. It took us just under 3/4 of an hour to get there but the fish did not want to play. Stayed there till 9.30am then headed out to Chardons Reef ? only to catch 2 parrot and 1 snappery squire.But it was just good to have such perfect conditions for a change. Not many boats were out that way, Sorry no photos

    Reel Job,

    Bad luck with the fish, but the weather was at least great today. You should have gone out wider rather than Sunshine ??? I bet you will never take advice from that bloke next door again. Apparently he went fishing for whiting with the family rather than going offshore - and did alright too.

    Hi Pete
    Yeh your not wrong there Pete ! But with conditions like that it doesn't matter if you catch fish or not.Days like that only come now and again.Hope the weather comes good for next weekend are you interested in a trip to the Banks in the mightly Searaider 2 (secret spot from See Saw) ???

    Not wrong Dan Plenty of fish on the sounder but not to many takers.Came across a Big school of Reds but they were all about 350-400 long.

    Re: Sunshine Reef trip

    Funny that when I read reports from the coast guys saying things like,,, woe as me I only got 2 parrot and one snappery squire,,, and think that there are so many of us bay guys that would love to get that on a good day.

    Yes I know that the investment is probably bigger in most cases with bigger and more expensive boats, but still,,, you got to go home with a feed for the family so that can't be all that bad.
