Whitsundays - Long to Hook.

[QuintrexII]

Hi guys,

Easters not looking good for a holiday at this point - busy work period, so going up to Whitsundays on friday for a week.

Was last up there at christmas - go up 1-2 times a year. Had a ball chasing the macks around - as well as a couple of beautiful meals of Perch and emporer.

Has anyone got any reports of late - I believe the weather is crappy to say the least over the past week.:-/

Had some good sessions trolling east and west of Hook Island as well as through Soleway pass previously. with skirted lures doing most of the damage.

Any reports or a couple of general areas where you may have had some good sessions recently, or what bait/rigs have done the damage.

Thanks guys

We only keep what we eat that day, so just looking for a great week of sport fishing, with some omega fishy oils for the dinner table :D

G'day mate, I live 1.5 hours' drive south of the Whitsundays and it is very gloomy, winds to 30 knots and seas to 3 metres. Over a metre of rain since 1st feb and still raining. Wind gradually easing from friday. Water is a dirty colour.......

Hi bobbyJ,

thought there would be sediment in the water - also don't know how far the fresh water will lower the temperature and what effect this will have on the pelagics - as long as the wind/swell drops off I'll have lines in the water to test my theories though .....
