Who put that lake there on Wednesday?

[Jackinthebox]

Couldn't take it anymore.

After looking at a sheet glass ocean from work all day Tuesday and all morning Wednesday, a quick call to a mate saw me leaving work at 10am.

Out through the seaway and fishing a close mark off Surfers Paradise by 11.30.

Converted 1/3 of ASH's $5 box of old pillies into a nice feed of squire & a nice little 3kg mini nobby. Got a good bite going & then started losing good fish to a big whaler that kept hanging around.

Back inside seaway a few hours later with fish in the boat.

What a magic day on the water.

Cheers,
Mick.

PS - the mini nobby is not on the tray, the deckie took that one home to eat.

lovely mate,we went to Surfers on the Christmas holidays and them sought of views stay with you,well it has with me so far

[aussiefool]

You said that you got some nice fish and the photos prove it.Just remember my hard and fast rule on cleaning fish and I still want to clean a Knobby

[Jackinthebox]

Ashh ..... still got 2 thirds of them left ...... by my calculations, bait for this trip cost me $1.66 ( a lot cheaper than nuc chooks)

Creek Vermin .... no time mate, had to get home before the little lady did as I promised her i wouldn't go fishing for a while a couple of days ago. Then i realised, how do i explain the fish. Derrrrrrr!

Kev ..... pity i didn't have a decent camera like yours, now you've got an excuse to bring the new Nomad down here to play and get some different photos. Not too bad for a concrete jungle is it? Some people hate it but I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder?

Andrew .... would have called you mate but i didn't want to make you drive all the way up here for just a short trip. Gotta get back to the tweed, my fav. place of all and we'll get your knobby, & he won't be a mini one either

Cheers everybody,

Mick.

PS - by the way, tried a recipe off here on some mackerel that the deckies (Aussie & Richie) caught last weekend. Make a sauce of lemon juice, soy( I used ketjap manis), crushed garlic, chilli sauce, chives from the garden & cracked pepper. Brush fillets with mixture & grill on alfoil until browned, flip over & brush with remaining mixture & grill until brown & crispy. All i can say is ..... mmmmmmmmmm(make sounds like Homer drooling over donuts & you get the picture)
