G'Day All Ausfisho's
Got my first message from Randall & he suggested that I posted some sort of @##$%#@$ message...so here goes.
For many years Randall & I have been work colleagues he in sunny Qld me in rate race NSW.
That all changed a good 12 months ago when I accepted new job here in Gods country.
Anyway Randall always talked about fishing when we worked together & promised me he would introduce me to Lure fishing.
So back in June he took me out on his Polycraft for a days fishing to the reefs at Redcliff then back into the Pine when the wind picked up .
We caught zero not even a bite all day ,but I could care less , it was a great day out on the water.
Randall was dissapointed with the days takings & we organised another outing during July.
This time was a bit more sucessful, he with many me with my first fish on SP's even if it was only a grinner.We where unable to fish the Redcliff reefs as was too windy & choppy for 4.1 polycraft.
Our next fishing expedition was organised for a freshwater weekend up at Lentals, this was a first for me never freshwater fished before.
Well that was it for me my first ever real fish 62cm Barra what a buzz. (I hope picture is attached).
Since then I have got the bug invested in boat, a 4.55 polycraft ,dropshot rod, 2000 pen reel & upteen plastics lures.
Have had limited sucess with limited knowledge but having a great time learning & area & techniques.
I have invested in an electric & built a cast deck which needs more modification as is too big for family outings.
Reacently I complained to Randall about not getting any type of fish in 4 outings so he too me down to the Seaway for an early morning fish before work & had a great time catching tailor on northern point of breakwall before heading in for a hours drift for flathead a very sucessful mornings fishing with all fish being returned to fight another day.
Well that it for now I hope your happy Randall.
