Think this was Thursday. It has been a blur since last Wednesday.

All zeros on the Noosa Canyons 44Nm out. Most people are getting a bite a day, maybe 3 if you are lucky. The main concentration haven't turned up yet. There is a Tournament this weekend so we should know what is happening after that.

Noosa Canyons devoid of life.

Only one tagged so far today but we got this.

Part of a triple hookup. Cobia on the sinker bait, a Sail on the unweighted one and a second Sail on the downrigger. 1st one on only my second ever game charter. Had heaps of cancellations the last couple of months and nothing to chase so had been putting people off.
It was Kerrie's birthday today. Had 4 Kiwis aboard. Something different for them compared to Stripies and Blues.

Yeh heaps. We cut one off on the other side thinking it was a tag only to roll it over in the water and see all them. Wastn't a tag once we saw that. Tricks me every time. Not as bad as our Rastifarien Marlin last year on Ymer.
