Had a good little session on Scarbrough Reef yesterday due to my 21ftr getting some work done to it's trailer due to multiple brake caliper failiures and a busted brake line my Tinny has been getting quite a workout out at Scarbrough Reef. Pulled up at about 8.30am was some very good shows on my sounder threw a few plastics around with no luck..decided to get out the squid rigged my light 4kg setup with 20lb flurocarbon with some squid aswell as my other 6kg spin rod and no sooner I had got my first line in the water my 4kg rod bends the rachet goes and low and behold up comes a 34cm grassy sweetlip put him in the esky and rebaited and back out into the water about 5 mins later it goes off again as I am pulling it in the other one goes off at the same time peeling line off as I had the drags set light quickly pulled the other fish in which was another 32cm Grassy Emporer dropped him in the bucket and picked my other line up went to wind it in but whatever was on it must have dived into the reef as it was snagged and I busted it off trying to get it out. Rebaited my 4kg set up and out it went and as I was rigging my other line up off the rod went again pulled up another Grassy sweetlip about 28cm threw him back both rod went out again and I have one go off and stop next thing the other starts peeling line off bring another grassy up about 26cm. this went on for about 45 mins 2 blokes were just over from me and they were getting nothing watching my fumble around pick lines up and bringing fish in they motored over to ask me what bait I was using and I told them as they were having no luck on their plastics. Low and behold I was heading out in my mates 20ft tornament this Morning went passed and low and behold here are these 2 guys sitting where I was yesterday...Hope the did well themselves all in all I brought up a total of 7 Grassy Emporer in the 4 hours I was out there. Was good litte session Kept 2 of them and they are going in the pan tonight. This is my first fishing report guys so go easy haha.:)

Yeah Dave I have my tinny all ready to go for another crack in the morning the thing I have found and I have made note of it it seems to fish well on the turn of the tide with a light to moderate southerly blowing if you burleigh up you will be sure to get something.:)
