Redcliffe reds - quicktime bag out

[Freeeedom]

Launched at Clontarf at 6am Thursday, intending to try for a few bream live-baiting in the Pine. Thought I might have a quick try outside the Woody Point reefs to see if there were any tailor about. Put a couple of unweighted gar out and picked up a small snapper (36cm - released) in just a few minutes. This was followed by another (37cm also released) not long after. Then things really started to hot up. Within the next hour I boated another five reds 39cm, 50cm, 52cm, 53cm and 62cm, plus one tailor. By 8 o'clock it was all over but it had been a great little session.
Went back again this morning to see if they were still around. Did not get a single take from a snapper or tailor. Managed half a dozen bream and a flathead.

Fairly shallow Brandon. I was in about 4 metres of water but reasonably close in to the reefs. I'm a bit like you - I've caught a lot of undersize reds there recently usually only managing a couple of legal ones. This was the best run of quality fish I've ever had in this location

Yes, when I just want a quick winter session without having to get the boat out (and put it away) I slip down to the rocks at Scott's Point when there is a low tide at dawn or dusk and walk out as far as you can, then bait spin for tailor. This often produces flathead (since the water is quite shallow) as well as the tailor. Unweighted flesh baits around the rocks will also produce some nice bream
