Hadn’t taken the boat for run for such a long time, so Sunday for a couple of hours around lunch I took my girlfriend on her first time in the boat out to redcliffe off Suttons beach. We caught quite a few pike(which I was chasing for bait on monday)and a Moses perch. Nothing seemed interested in a live pike with a 6/0 through its back tho. It was a very nice day even tho it was a bit cloudy. Needless to say I’m lucky I’ve found someone who likes boating and fishing but knowing my luck she will end up out fishing me like the boy does.
Monday the boy “Kaimen” and I went out for a few hours till dark for fish in the boat off Suttons beach again. We caught a few live pike and then looked around for a spot to fish ending up in about 15ft of water fishing against a rocky ledge rising to about 10ft. The burley pot was deployed and we used strips of pike and a couple of live ones as well. Kaimen got a 44cm squire then we couldn’t get anything else on the strip baits. Just lots of small bites. The livies were attacked a few times once by a squid and a few small tailor about 30-35cm. Kaimen also got a tailor on a bumper bar lure. As the sun went down something took off with a livie and had lots of weight and then spat the hook in a couple of seconds, calls were for a decent estuary cod hopefully it would be back. About 10 min later the other livie took off and after a short fight we had a nice estuary cod in the boat well over 10kg, she swam off to live another day and we ended up keeping the squire and a tailor which will all probably end up in the smoker. Again another nice day on the water.
