    Banks Fri 16th

    Left 3.30am for sloppy trip out, 2hrs later got to mark.
    No moon & cloud cover all I could see is the GPS & Sounder dancing around in front of me. (not much fun)
    Not much happened from then on.
    Mixed reefies but no snapps.
    No bite time noticed.
    Couple of big things, who won.
    Cobia hanging around the boat.
    Great afternoon waited until 6pm but still quite.
    Pulled the pin & Came home 26 knts .

    Back in bed toowomba at 11.30pm.

    ps; had radio problems with new VHF, so I turned it off.

    least a feed.

    Tried to call you a few times around 11am. We found the same thing like a washing machine on the way out but a brilliant ride home made up for the trip out. Snapper are still out deep around 85m+ we found some good sized ones.
    planning the next onslaught 6.5m Profish

    Snapp and Spiro,

    We had planned a trip to the northern banks last Friday but the skipper of "Alexander" had to cancel due to work commitments.
    I'm told a pro fisher got over 200kg of good snapper in one night two weeks ago in 80 to 90 metres of water off the northern banks.

    Cheers

    Great feed Snapp, lots of slimy buggers to clean.

    We fished the Central Banks on Sat for similar catches. Mostly pan sized mixed bag of squire, pearlies, rosy jobs and tusk fish. As usual, a couple of mega bust offs that felt like good bottom dwellers rather than AJ's or Cobes.

    We had a 'tame' dolphin follow us all day. Very tame and kept opening his mouth waiting for us to feed him. We tried not to encourage this but every undersize fish or by catch we released was swiftly chased down before being played with and finally eaten - highlight of the day.
