Caloundra

[Jeremy]

fishing the statewide ANSA winter comp on Saturday. Headed out off Caloundra for some tuna and mackerel. Heaps of bait everywhere, but no tuna and very few mackerel around. None landed. Did hook up to something nice on my 3 kg spin gear jigging a slug around a bait school. Had me going for 10 minutes until it straightened the treble. Bugga!

Came back inside the bar about midday and went up the passage to try to find some trevally. Managed a nice selection of live herring, mullet and prawns in the cast net. Anchored up and set some baits. Chris pulled in a ripper flathead of 80 cm and 4.4 kg (weighed live in net) on 4 kg pretest line, which was released of course. I got a couple of smaller flathead on SPs and a brown sweetlip on a live prawn.

Not going to bother the scorers, but at least there were a couple of highlights.

Thanks for the day out. The flattie is by far the biggest fish I have caught.

I also got my PB whiting at 34cm on a live prawn.

Brown sweetlip! thats a dirty old blubber lip bream ;D

[Jeremy]

I am pretty sure that it is a brown sweetlip. You know the painted sweetlip, aka slatey bream, mother in law fish, well this fish was very similar but more brown and blotchey in colour. As I said, I am almost certain that it is a brown sweetlip.

I am happy to stand corrected if someone can tell me definitively that the brown sweetlip is not the same as the blubber lip bream.

Thanks everyone for the comments, and congrats to Chris again for a top fish.
