Tough Day moreton

[philip_thomson]

went out east from moreton. tried 7 different reefs and about 11 different spots. it was tough fishing with a current of 3-4knots.

1 guy pulled up a 10kg+ kingie, the reel seased up and had to be bought up by hand.

moved to another spot and the pearlies started to come on board. caught a couple and dropped a few. fishing with a 3pound sinker we still couldn;t hold bottom drifting at 3-4knts.

closer in even with a 1pound sinker and the sea anchor out and we were still doing 2-3knts.

end catch was 4 pearlies best at 2.5kg, 1 squire, 1 kingie.

cheers Phil

matt i think the idea of the sea anchor is to create drag through the water thus slowing you down.
rabbitohbill its easy to keep yourself clean. don;t get dirty ;)
dale i had to mow the lawn on wednesday >:(
greg didn;t get a reading on the sea temperature
