But looks like you got a good day.

Good catch of reefies. Interesting to see that about half of your hussar were the yellow variety. Only catch about 1 in 100 of that type up at 1770.

[landbasedtossa]

How many people shared in the overkill?

[kleiny]

good one landbasedtossa

3 of us caught them

if your emplying we took to many fish, all fish were legal & we were not even close to most bag limits.

i'm sorry if your jealous

i'm just happy we had a good trip finally & a nice feed of fish.

Stuie
I think the ones you are talking about there are stripies.
Numbers vary depending on where you fish for them around here.
Extremely good eating. ;)

Good to see the spotties still about on the surfece and the reefies down deep. You'll have phill following you round up there now with reports like that! ;D ;D

[Lucky_Phill]

Who ? me ?

Nah. Just checked my 'marks ' for up there, and found the " Coral Patches ". NO probs./ ;D ;) ;)

How's the new gps mate?
Getting plenty of use i hope.
Shouldn't of made it too hard to find.

[kleiny]

you'll have to let us know next time your heading up we might let you in on spot x on the coral patch :D ;D :D
were keen to give it another go, only got to fish it for 2 hours & we pulled some nice fish out

[agnes_jack]

My apologies there Stuie!
On closer inspection I think you are right, Yellow hussar. ;) ;)
