Off Shore Run Douglas

[jtpython]

Went for a run in the cruisecraft with a fellow Ausfisher In his nice 7m Signiture and a mate of his in a 38 foot mustang for an overnighter on saturday
Conditions were excellent with a slight swell and slight winds was a magnificent trip to some ground this side of douglas where we did a few drifts with a capture of some tuskie's and a trout and some redthroat to keeps us keen as mustard.
Moving to a couple more spots so the Mustang could0 anchor before the night we mangaged some nice redthroat and spripey's and moses perch for the night.
As the wind tickled up a bit we settled into a good nights sleep on the boat and waited for the morning where we headed off to Douglas shoals for some more drifts
After a couple scores of tuskie's and about 20 undersized redthroat we moved to another spot some 5 km away , in this time the old wind started to pick up to the 15 to 20 knots so we headed for home doing one more stop for a quick drift , This only managed us with a 8 foot whaler so we headed for the harbour
Had a ball and got to met some incredible guys on both of the boats and will wait for another adventure to happen , not too soon thou as i'll be divorced if i go fishing so soon LOL
Pics arn't good as i thought my crew had took some pics while i was organising the filleting table and cleaning gear to be told they forgot so only had some film on the vid

JT thanks for the company last weekend mate! It was a great trip and one we will definitely do again sometime. I am trying to get some time to spend back on Ausfish as I haven't been online much lately. We ended up with one Red Emperor, about 8 large Red Throat, a couple of Tuskies and a whole heap of Hussar!

The best part about the trip was enjoying it along with a bunch of other likeminded blokes and the fact we had three boats together for safety. I just with the guys on the Mustang had shared those dancing girls around!

I too am having a weekend off this weekend doing jobs arond the house. Been out fishing the last three weekends in a row so thought it best to stay home and win some brownie points!

.....i think i' banned from going fishing till the hook up by the looks of it

I spent the whole weekend doing jobs around the house.....now I am suffering from withdrawal symptoms....I did sneak a bit of time over at the neighbour's house this afternoon making up patternoster rigs though!!!!!


Not sure whether I am going fishing next weekend or not yet. Will have to wait for mid-week to decide.

Re: Off Shore Run Douglas

well at the moment your not missing much inside.... absolutely nothing about the coast today... nothing at corio (heard of a queenie and flathead caught), but the fish really weren't biting, then went to the harbour to try my luck and see if the salmon were around.... guess waht... nope... nothing on bait there either.. .

next weekend looks good though according to seabreeze.. JT better get some brownie points so you can go out.

He's also smarter than he looks.
Soon as I saw his mother's day thread I knew he was up too something.
Either nookie or more fishing....looks like there was no fishing over the weekend so I hope some of the other came your way,JT .

BTW how come you guys are getting all this good weekend weather when all we are getting is constant 15-20's?.
