... Well got home at about 1am from my trip out with Cheech, and had to be at Scarborough Ramp at 4:30am for my second trip of the weekend... So I tried to get some brownie points with the better half, and did the dishes ;D Read B'n'B, and changed the rods over into the car.
Got up to the ramp and met up with Sunny (Carleton) for a morning fish out at Moreton. Left there and cruised over to Curtain in his Haines. Weather was fantastic, and we watched the sunrise from Curtain.
Fished there for a while, but nothing came onboard :'( So we up anchored and went north a bit to a spot we had done ok at previously. No shows on the sounder, but then we had a pod of about 4 whales running up past the boat. Watched them for a little while, and then started up the berley trail. Fished there for while, but still nothing... :-[ There were quite a few boils on the water though, and although we cast small slugs around, nothing except for my first grinner!!! ;D
We then decided to go drift up north of Moreton for a while, and we caught all sorts of ooglies, but nothing of any interest >:( I did manage to catch what I thought was a leather jacket, but apparently it's a Trigger Fish? There were also lots of small wrasse, and other littlies...
Then took a run down to Tangalooma for a quick look see, before running back to Scarborough. We stopped in on the reefs at Redcliffe for a minute, and caught a bream and a few small Moses Perch.
All-in-all a beautiful day, but frustrating as hell we didn't get anything decent. Got a lot of ideas for next time though, so we will be back to get revenge on the buggers!!!
