Headed out Sat morning, along with the rest of Brisbane. Arrived at spot x at about 6am (late start). Started off with a couple of macs, then quiet till about 9am. Then on a small pille that hit the bottom i caught the small sweetlip. Was a bit of a surprise, so i put on a nice little squid. No sooner the bait hit the bottom, i was onto something big. Off it went, thought this isn't a mackeral. Then i could feel a few bumps and shakes of the head. By this time i was thinking snapper. When it got to the top i couldn't belive it. A nice 5Lb Sweetlip was put in the esky. Rebaited with another small squid and once again, Bang. I was on again. hoping this time a snapper, but once again another sweetlip, 4.5Lb this time. Then everything went quiet. Feeling pretty happy with the catch, decided that was a great morning and headed home about noon.
Still haven't caught my snapper that i'm after, but gotta be happy with the catch.
Cheers
Thommo
