OK, didn't see to many reports from the weekend ?
Just the quick version of what happened then.
Last minute decision ( due to belief that the wind would be NOT what the BoM predicted ), to head to Mooloolaba.
Stinky_Brad ( Brad )and sharkbait ( Kris ) as crew and off, arriving at Moobar at 4.30am. Little wind. Payneful ( Sam ), called us up on the VHF to say it was a little choppy going out. No probs in ReBait.
Hit Caloundra 12 mile area ::) :-X and baits away. With a couple of good size squire on board, the Parrot were starting to chew. Kris missed a couple of good hits. Just a bit picky, those fish ;)
Weather turning from good to very good and wind dropping out with the rising of the sun. Enough for a good feed in te esky so off to do what the plan was, and that was to collect bait. The grounds around Currimundi holds good numbers Yakka and Slimies. But not today.
The pick hit the bottom in about 18mtrs. Jigs down, but alas, nudda ! Then Kris said he thought he saw schoolies under the boat. So on goes one of " Those " slugs. Bang ! Bonito ( Watsons ). So Brad and Phill ( dats me ) slugged up, and all hell broke loose. for the next 40-45minutes, we could not miss. handfulls of berley going out every 5 minutes and Bonito after Bonito were hitting the floor of the big rig. In amongst the Bonito were Yakka, and these were monsters, between 30 -35cms, some could have been 40. And YES, they were taken on " Those ' slugs. ;) ;)
It got to a stage where we just had to run the slug over the top of the water to get a hit, even had one jump out and grab the slug as I was about to cast ! :o :o These fish were suicidal.
Arms getting tired, floor of boat covered in blood and Bonito. Wind has picked up to 10-12knots, white caps appearing to be increasing in numbers. Home ? sure !
A good run home, after having contact with Sam, who seemed to be going good on Pearlies.
So, with enough bait for a few trips out and a good feed of Squire and Parrot, 'twas a good decision and a good day. Rebait used 42ltrs for the day, and the Nissan was economical as usual.
Result was no pics ::) :P :-X but, 65 Bonito and 20 Yakka.
and NO Kris, ReBait is NOT for sale. ;) ;D
Cheers Phill
