Banks trip report

[Reel-Job]

Hi all .
Left the Moolooabah Ramp at 4.30pm only to be meet with a good 15 knot N/W wind so we had a fish at Murrphys till 11pm. Only boated one 2.8kg Snappery Squire and a Heap of undersize Red Empror and Sweet-lip which were let go to fight another day.Then we went to the southen end of the banks at 11 pm and caught not much except undersize Squire.So then we went to the Center for a fish and between 2am and 3 am we caught all up 10 fish,1 Pig fish,1 Parrot 2.5kg ,1 Mosses Perch, 5 Squire, 1 Snappery Squire Just under 3 kg, Missed 3 more hits on the Floater, And had no chance of getting up 2 other Larger Fish of the Bottom. 99% sure Large Snapper.And one Very Happy Wife .Trip home was Excellent. PHOTOS TO COME

Hi Lou,
My reserve deckie Dale & I are really having a dry patch , couldn't catch a keeper if you through one at us .
Got to Combie just after daylight , run across the bay was good . Heading for the Cape there was an interesting Easterly swell running .Run to the Northern end of Inner Deep Tempest a bit slopy , there was also about 2.5 knts of current running , making it just about unfishable . Stuck it out for a few hours with no luck . Moved into Shallow Tempest , looks like everyone else had the same idear . Still no keepers .
Give it the flick at about 11Am with the Northerly starting to crank up .Same lumpy run back from the Cape to Combie , once we hit , the bay the run back was good at about 20 knots .
Highlights for the day
*Saw a couple of whales , crusing past pretty close to us at Shallow Tempest .
*Said giday to Bugman on the radio .
*Still better being on the water in the slop , with no fish , than at work . ;)

Lou,
A number of the other guys are also having trouble loading photos on to the site ( must be a problem with the site ).

Did you see that Webby bagged out on Squire in the Bay again last Friday night .

Guys .
Did you see no_worries trip report post from Deep Tempest from yesterday.
He bagged out on good snapper again .( I think that when he left in the arvo , it would have been a real ordinary trip around the Cape ).

Pete,

It did sound like you were doing it tough when I was talking to you. We pretty much had an awsome trip for what we wanted to do. The whales were very playful and the last pod of four hung around for 30 mins doing all the antics - including hanging under the boat for ages and scarying the bejesus out of me and the deckie.

I think they were putting on a display for the tourists on eye-spy the whale watching boat.

Had one drift over the St Paul that was showing lots of fish and got a nearly legal squire but it was time to go. Even got back in time for an awsome riverfire.

Nice talking to you - Brett

My share of the catch we go halves in costs and fish

[Reel-Job]

Pete and Dale you should of come we had some good info on what time and where they might be from a old Deckie that use to come out with me once a pond a time ,thanks Mark you were right on the money.It's a wonder that no one has taken you yet in there rigs i am sure they would gain a lot of knowledge taking you out ,plus fish to take home.

Hi seahunter/Trevor ,
Did Lou let you know the Goldfish boys have got a club trip out of Mooloolaba this Saturday .
Hopefully the conditions will be better than last time we were up there . If the conditions are OK I'll be following Lou ( Reel-Job ) out to the Banks .

Might see you on the water .
