Left Bribie at 4.30am and headed out with Reefy on board.
Westerly blowing about 5-10kn as we headed across to my fav beacon right on high tide. No-one else in sight when we pulled up which was unfortunate as they missed seeing Reefy pull in our only Spottie for the day... on a Bait Jig!!!
Not many livies around but the yakkas we got were huge.
Gave up and had a bite to eat. As we drifted along I finished my sandwich and threw a piece of crust over the side. Watching it drift gently away and what should happen...school of about 8-10 cobes all fighting over it.
Action stations - 2 pillies rigged and dropped for a double hook up. We're both pissing ourselves laughing as 2 just undersized cobes come aboard.
Headed out to Reefy's spot and scored a Morwong each and another monster cod - 119cm long. All were released and swam away due to the shallow depth of wter they were caught in.
Fish went off the bight about 11am so we headed out to Hutchies for a troll around. Got 1 Mac Tuna for our trouble.
Heaps of gameboats about 2kms SE of the Cape doing laps but didn't appear to be getting anything.
All up a fantastic looking day with some decent fish boated.
And most importantly...I kept all my insides from getting ouside!
