Final assault - Peel 31 May 2006

[joeT]

Today was my one last trip before I depart for the UK (been saying that for a few weeks now :D). Boat is now sold and will go to a lucky buyer next week.

Up early and off to peel for a quick SP session. Bit choppy with 15kt SW blowing. Quiet at the start and then had a real good 1/2 hour with fish hooked every second cast. Mostly squire 30-35cm and one little trevally. Nothing really big, but 5 good keepers hooked at 38-43cm, plus a good ~40cm fish lost at the boat.

Cut up a grinner and chucked it out for no result except a badly gut hooked small shovely. Oh well, we thought we would keep this one to see how they taste like.

Nice catch mate ;) I havne't had that much luck wit the squire yet :'( hopefully i will hook a nice one soon :D Shovelnose sharks tast quite good!! I remember eating one about 5 foot long many years ago, we cut it into steaks and threw it on the barbie and it tasted dam good ;) bit like little sharks i think.. anyways i am sure some others will have something to say about how they chew.

Hope your trip to the UK is good!!!

Cheers

Good work Wei! I should come over with a case of beer and steal all your Peel spots ;) (Did I say steal... I mean "look after for you") ::)

So you're finally going hey... Hope you have a ball when you're there. I've got a couple of friends over there, so if you want drinking buddies, I'll get you in contact with them.

can someone tell me where peel island is?

Adam,

You just go to the UK, then turn left...

Only joking, Its in Moreton bay, East of Brisbane between Raby Bay and North Stradbroke Island - keep going east and you would be in the Land of the Long White Cloud
