    The Cape bombs again!

    I have some family over from NZ (wife's side) at the moment and hoped to show them some of our great fishing areas. We've just got in from a great day on the water, but again all our best laid plans to catch a feed failed.

    I got done over by a couple of nice fish, but we failed to boat a keeper scale.

    I dunno why we cant seem to get among them around moreton, I've worked out some good marks, we find the structure, and the bait, do all the usual work out whats what stuff before we drop, right rigs, good baits, we can see the fish but they just don't seem to want to come out to play!

    I reckon I might just give Moreton a big miss in the future or find someone who has it worked out who can reveal the secrets!!!

    The good news was we only used 125 litres to travel around 120 miles by the gauge...this f200 is brilliant, twice the go with half the flow and we circumnavigated the island for the first time, saw some whales and a huge pod of dolphins so not all was lost!

    We're heading out from Mooloolabah tomorrow early so hopefully will be able to get among them on some more familiar territory.

    Cheers

    Rhys

                  Rhys, I was out on Brennan's last night and picked up a few - snappery squire, small AJ, cod - bit of a mixed bag really. Though we'd be in for a wet ride home with the weather that afternoon but it really glassed out at sunset. Had one whale go past and one dolphin harrass us for a couple of hours. Wished I was out there again today. Must admit, I've never done extremely well out there - bring on some better weather for Mooloolaba again.

                  Lee.

                    Hey Rhys,

                    Sounds like the motor is paying for itself big time. Be interested to hear how you go out off the sunny coast I've heard some big knobs have come in close. I can't wait to get back into it!

                    Keep in touch.
                    Regards
                    Craig.

                        Me thinks you were doing "practice" laps around the island Rhys, not circumnavigating it ...getting ready for Qualifying again mate????

                          Rhys i use to fish the cape alot with my brother about ten years ago
                          we used to do allright but we would usually burley up heaps and use 6 to 10 kilo line with very little sinker if any at all and no trace i think they spook really easily in that shallow water around there.

                          cheers pete...
