G'day All,
Well it started with the idea that me and Stuartdb would do a bit of R & D before the classic and try and hone the skills before the comp, our sons have been harassing us to go fishing together for months and it also gave us points with the missus's, so they tagged along. The idea was to troll with some Pig lures and Micro Mullets to start with but upon rounding the corner of Soveriegn island onto the 1st bank, dropping the leccy into the water, it became fairly obvious that it wasn't going to happen, the wind had got up overnight and stuffed us. We headed in to find some sheltered waters, back down Coomera River, still blowin it's head off. Decided to anchor up for a bit, re rig and get sorted. Did our best to keep into the bank and jigged SP's, tough day at the office but managed to bag 3 pups between 40 - 50cm, tried a heap of types and flavours but the pick seemed to be Berkley Shrimps in Mango Ripple and Nuclear Chicken, all fish were caught on these, still had a great day and the boys had a ball, thank God for Nintendo DS's and Portable DVD players, great move Stu putting that 12V DC outlet in the dash, not to mention the band aids with my accident prone kid!!!! Next pre fish will be more serious, hopefully the wind will be kinder to us and we can mix it up and have a troll as well, Cheers All.
