Hey mate great to see u and your son got a few, we went out friday chasing the cobes at west rocks we finally hooked one but he proved to strong for the shimano baitrunner 6500 with 15 kg line after a 1 hour 20 minuite fight and him spooling us off to the last row of line. we finally got him about 5 meters from the boat and the hook just popped out of the side of his mouth and off he swam, we got a 30 plus kilo cobia a few months back, and this fella was easily bigger. but you get those days. we got about 5 more hits but no more solid hookups all on live bait.

cheers tassie JR

count me in, that was a ripper of a night, but the morning hurt...a lot.

Woulda been a big one to spool the baitrunner on 15. look on the bright side, you didnt need to lift it into the boat or fillet it!

Good to see you're getting out there Jim and cobes are better fun than snaps anyway aren't they.
What's this 'technical' crap hey? It's either get it right or get nothing in that game these days. Well maybe I'm not applying what I preach as I'm still getting next to nothing.

hi timddo the northern end of moreton has a large sand bank that sometimes performs like a bar! we all have to cross on the way to the cape and weston rocks is only 3 to 5 miles through the so called bar, on the way to the cape on the left, theres normally a few boats there thanks cr

Guys, where is west rock????

It's a fairly large area of coffee rock and there are several marks for it. This is the one where I've caught (mostly lost) :-[ the big cobes.

Be prepared to be pestered with whiptails, but if no yakkas are available, they make a good stand by livebait.

Hi mate,

Won't be at a ramp for a month or two yet :'(

Went to the GP with shortness of breath and within a couple of weeks they'd cracked my chest open :o Quadruple bypass mate...........I'll do anything to get a bit of attention ;D

Good job with the cobes..........you've made me real jealous.
