[Billo]

Nice rob ...atleast you got a feed !!!!

Weather was magic hey !

We ended up wide of coolumn , about 12 - 15 mile .
Nothing hooked , had a strike early in the morn on a skip gar but did not hook up

Saw a free swimming bill back on the 10 mile later in the morn , didn't want to eat our bloody baits though .

Water quality looked excellent , temps were good .,...were the hell were the fish !???

[Sportfish_5]

Billo - spent the day on Sunday plowin the paddock between Hutchies/Flinders/Smiths. Weather till late afternoon was magic.

As you said water temp was good (max 24.2 @ Lunchtime/arvo in 40m), colour was great but not a lot of good fish around. Witchdoctor got a couple of hoos at Hutchies while I was there. Got plenty of rat kingies at hutchies while trolling as well as vermin tuna. Few reports on VHF of bills but heard only one reported caught plus a sail.

Wont be long till it all fires though :P

Cheers

here's hoping !

Not sure if my temp needs checking , believed it was accurate with water temps avergaing around 23.5 in clser grounds off mooloolaba , 24.2 on the 8 mile . but up north towards coolumn around the scum lines i was getting a reading of between 25 and 25.2 .
was only patchy , but there was plenty of whitebait in under the scum ..haven't seen conditions that good in a while

all the indicators were there .,...but no hook ups ..,.....the heart rate was pumping when we saw the free swimmer ...thought we may have been into it , thems the breaks !!!


wish i had thrown another tank in and headed the banks , but on everyones reports , it doesn't seem like that magic a weekend on the fish scene

saturday saw us fill the esky on frigates ....playing with the 2kg , still was a little fun , but plenty of big baits for trolling them with bridle rigs when the action heats up !!!

[michael_Brewer]

ROB!!!! Trust you to invite two members of the tiny arse raping society both on the one trip........ no wonder you were stuffed! Ended up bein a wicked trip pitty it was a bit blowy first off wide. fishin was a bit slow for such a big trip.... but still enough food for the week though! ::)
thanks rob... should be about time for a trip up north i reckon ;)

[reeldreamer]

Mackmauler is Mortal after all! Still a very resonable effort by anyones standards! I always leave a set of sunnies in the boat, nothing worse then squinting all bloody day! Well done Rob

[madman1]

We headed out Sunday 5am to the southern end of the banks and only managed 2 50cm+ flathead of all things, A 2kg Parrot and thats about it.

You couldn't fault the weather though. just wish the fish were on the chew.

Ahhh well there's always next time!

Cheers

you still had a good day Rob, no sunnies is a killer out there. all trips can't be perfect.

[magicpudding]

Rob, i'm surprised you didnt make an appearence at the 18 mile given the fishing ont he banks wasn't quite up to scratch.
I headed out to the 8 & 18 mile with the new owners of the puddin yesterday. We managed to get 2 bait jigs nailed by billfish, 3 mac tuna and 2 cobes. The bait, water temp and clarity on the 18 mile were all awesome, the fish just weren't playing the game! It can't be too long now until the fish make a true appearence.

Cheers, CJ

[Zeeke]

thought i heard someone say Magic Puddin on the radio yesterday... no wonder lol

i was fishing with Vertico off the banks.. working our way down south.. pretty dismal... few pearlies, gold spot wrasse and parrot.. and a coupla small squire.. then headed home... running into Rob and crew on the way home.picked up a few small cobes then dashed in

Saw a small billie.. prolly a black off the eastern side of the banks slashing into some bait.. unfortunately Sean didnt see it.. looked about 20-30kg size when only moments before a school of small flyingfish ran for cover

Tim

[DALEPRICE]

still managed to put a good feed together
rob ::)
we ventured out sunday to cal wide and
the fishing was way below average. managed a
few but nothing to write home about.

[vertico]

should have lent a set of polarised lenses off me rob always got atleast 1 set in the boat

[JB]

Bad luck Rob, seems like everybody has a crap day now and again. I had a shocker sat, tried some new ground and techniques.. going to take a lot more work! I found some great looking jack country down the tweed thou, just have to work out how and when to catch the buggers.
