With the weather as good as it was, couldn't resist the temptation of taking the mrs out for a day on the bay. This was going to be her first day out on moreton bay (as she gets sea sick very easily) so the plan was to head out from wynnum, up along the inside of the islands to Mud, adding the trip to the GPS for future night trips, have a shot for some snapper with plastics over the lunch time change of tide, then head back to get some whiting.
Arrived at the boat ramp at around 11ish, to be welcomed by TGO conditions, set out for mud island, with the plan to give scalems secret car park ;D a shot for some squire with plastics and bait. Stayed for 2hrs over the change of tide bouncing placcies, and drifting some fresh baits (without a single showing on the sounder). The baits didn't get touched, and we continued to get the placcies chewed by small stuff, which we later found out to be rainbow runners, as the better half pulled in her first ever fish on SP. Looking around the car park, i noticed that there was very little at all being caught other then bits of coral and wire weed ;D, so we headed back into to our whiting spot.
Fished for whiting and decided to pull the pin at 3 with a good feed.
Arrived back at the boat ramp and gave the trailer a quick maintenace check (it's easier to see rusted brakets and axels etc when the boat is off), noticed that the passenger side wheel bearings had colapsed... :-/. proceeded to take the boat out, (manouvering the trailer around the drop kicks who park the boat and trailer in the middle of the ramp while they tie the boat on >:() then found a car park with level ground in order to repair the wheel. By 4pm the new wheel bearings were installed, filled with new marine grease complete with new buddy bearings. :) Home by 5, boat and fish cleaned by 6. Eating fresh Whiting for tea at 6.30!! :D
