Great day to be alive

Hi Scotty,

Don't tell everyone that I was using bait. I actually thought it may have been a Jack but the deep pit under the eyes gave it away.

Looks like you made a speedy recovery from the sickness that was keeping you home from work on monday morning, one day i will have to tell your boss about your antics!!!!!!!!!!

So Frank, this is your way of keeping me cheerful despite not being able to get out for a fish lately, by looking at your post ??

Well, thanks heaps!!! I really appreciate it!!

A wise man once said, "those with local knowledge find better ways to spend time than driving long distances for little gain"

Congrats, that is amazing fishing!

Wow. So how come it is never that fantastic when I am onboard HMAS Frank OO? AH well I am not complaining. I still have some nice fillets from the last trip out with you but they are getting very light on. Might be time to book in for the next trip perhaps. Well done for having another good time on the water.

Hi Troy, It has been a long time since I have used “Bait” but I know when I am beaten. I realize that if you want to catch fish at night you do have to use bait. Sorry Eric but I had to. I wanted to have the feel of the Egrell with the capability to cast the pillie a long way unweighted. “Big Bertha and the S10 were ideal for the job. Never thought that the Egrell Rods would be so versatile.

Oh how the Mighty have Fallen!



Nah, I'm as jealous as can be Frank. With a early return from last weekend with a sicky on board and this weekend looking out of the question, it may be long wait between fish.

Good on ya for getting stuck into them.

Even on *bait*.

Awesome fish Frank - gotta love that! Anyway, always a pleasure to read your reports. Cheers, Darren.

Ben,

I was feeling a bit dizzy in the morning in fact I thought it felt a bit like I was seasick. I just wanted to compare the two feelings.

Talk to your boss about taking a sicky.. Hmmm. No you had better not she may make you work 7 days a week.

Nigel,

I thought you may have got into me about

" We arrived at the Cape Moreton at about 4:30 after a very fast trip.( Not quite 45Knots Nigel, but very close… )"

Hi Pete,

This is the first I have seen or caught. I believe there are some small ones around but they are not seen this big down here. That may well be because they are not caught. I think I was very lucky to get him up out of the coral.

I have seen hundreds in Vanuatu. They come up to feast on the scraps that the tour boats throw overboard.

Ah c'mon Franko, you don't think I'd bite at something like that? Anyway we all know that I *rarely* go over 42 ...



Anyway you think anything over 20 is going quick ... must be getting old ...

Hey Frank, its not the rod that is versatile its the fisho using it...necessity is the mother of invention! I ended up live baiting with my s10 yesterday!, they are a brute of a rod!

Good to see you recovered from the Bundy trip - nice to get some good fish in the box

Cheers
