Noosa Easter Monday

[Back In Black]

Headed out 3pm & just went about 4km offshore. Instantly onto some small reefies & several small sharks. Mate Chris caught his 1st coral trout which was great to see (I'm still a CT virgin) & the fishing was good from 3-6pm, but then shut down as soon as the sunset. Had to wait another 2 hours to cross the bar though as it was low tide. There also were plagues of undersized Red Emperor which became a nuisance.
Nice to go so close & do OK

Thats more like it mate!!! Well done :thumbsup: What did the damage? Squid? Do you use SP's much?

Hi Funchy,
No, I never use SP's I struggle thinking that plastic is part of a fish' diet?? I know, I am way behind the times. The smelliest pillies we could muster did most of the damage. Interestingly, we had new fresh pillies that were not getting touched, so we started using the old berley pillies & bingo, they were onto it!!
And to top it off, I probably saved 150 litres by not going wide!!

Nice catch there Tony. Good to see you getting out more often, especially now that we are coming into soft plastic season ;-)

You are a funny man Dave- I can't even see the reason you use a jig head & then put apiece of pillie on it?? Makes no sense to this simple fisherman.
Good to see the inner reefs are starting to fire up again.
