Peel Island Quicky

[Fishinmishin]

The plans to chase some LTs today were cancelled last night (sorry Rando) as I had to pick up a midday shift today. Still awake at 3:30am so stuff it....packed the rig and off I snuk for a south bay quicky. On the water at still dark so parked at Peel to wait for sunrise. Had a couple good runs on the bream gear but into the rocks every time so out came the TLD ::). Minutes later a decent estuary cod was boated, pics taken and released. The next bait was taken by a squire which was also released after a pic to help even out the numbers of boats compared to fish around peel. Anyhow....today was gonna be a quick LT hunt so the sun is up and the anchor follows. Start heading up rainbow channel and find a school at Myora beacon. One hit but no hookup. As I begin to follow them up the channel the motor coughs and stalls. Damn...forgot to get more petrol....so I empty the reserve tank and head to raby bay for refueling. Once there I decide to just call it a day as I really shoulda been sleeping anyhow. Must sleep now. Goodnight.
Cheers, Jay

That's not really a Centre Console is it Jay? Thats just an overpriced, oversized camera tripod!!! ;D

Not a bad effort for a solo trip! You seem like your pretty comfortable in the new boat now...

Gidday Jay, passed you going out at the gentlemanly hour of 7:00 this morning on the north-side of peel. Must have been when you were heading in for fuel. Thought you weren't looking real impressed ;)

I didn't score any better on the Rainbow Channel LTs, with one breaking/biting me off and one throwing the hooks on his first run. There were a stack about during the day, with alot of baby mack tuna thrown in around them. A few schoolies along the edge of the channel half-way to Amity as well apparently. I dropped a hoo-ah of one at the boat between the northern channel of the bar and the coffee rock outside the southern end of Moreton. T'was the story of my day!

Cheers
David
