Good stuff Rosco

Saw a HUGE log just south of Green, pretty well right in the path from the leads to the Lockyer Light, called it in but it had already been done.

Made me think a bit, I left the ramp at 4am this morning in the dark, not really safe out there ATM.

If you hit it, you would go down...

Cheers

g'day all, took a run from beachmere to tangas today and did'nt see any debris. was great to see lots of life still (bait fish, macs, dolphins & turtles.) fingers crossed the bay will be ok after all the floods. regards, tony.

Tsunami Crusher,

Mate how was the water clarity over at Tangas? Thanks heaps.

g'day cuzza, water was pretty good all things considered. not the clarity that were used too. the kids and i were still able to snorkle the wreccks. i was really surprised at the amount of life still there. great to see.

[cuzzamundi]

Thanks a million, mate. Got a mate going over there in two weeks to dive the wrecks, and he was thinking it would be a write off. Will tell him that there's a good chance there'll be adequate vis. Thanks mate.

You could be playing Russian Roulette to be out there for a while ... http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/body-found-may-be-missing-fisherman-20110127-1a5q6.html

cheers for the report roscoe. hey mate, i have a stupid question to ask when you are using the gulp worms. I have used them a couple of times with varying success. How do you find the hook ups on them because they are quite long and i often get fish pulling them off the hook or biting anywhere but the hook. Do you cut them into shorter pieces as you would with bait or do you rig the whole worm.

Rosco does the same as me i think, cut the worm into 4 pieces, i thread mine on the hook, making sure the tip of the hook is clear a bit so you get a better hookup rate
i dont use my gps, might have to start using it again so when i get a good feed, i can return to the same spot next time
last time i bagged out i used crab pots in the water to get marks from where the fish were, last tues, i only got 24 as didnt get back onto the right spot, no pots out, though having said that the fish do move around

[AnthonyL]

Thanks for the report, its good to hear what it is like out there without having to go out and look for myself.

[rosco1974]

i do the same with the gulp worms as robsue mentioned above

robsue

i got the whiting on the same drift lines i have on my gps...is alot easier to find them again
