fishing trip

[matt__hill]

samurez was planned but a few hiccups stopped us getting there but weather wasn't the best for that sort of long range trip anway. we left from brissie and fished up past fraser then thru the bunker group. heaps of fish and good times had by all. some of the biggest pearlies i have seen and caught. all big fish were caught on plastics or knife jigs. out of the 9 spangles landed not one was on bait. and another thing if anyone thinks nuke chooks are the bomb than they need to get out from under the rock they are under. not one fish of legal size was landed on one and they were used but white and bonejack easily caught 80% of the fish.

Great pics mate,those pearlies are massive

[matt__hill]

as most guys know photos dont do fish or weather any justice. we have about 10mins of video footage as well of massive water spouts around the boat at one stage there was 7 of them. 2 come together to make one big one at one stage all on film about 100m from us. it got within about 70m at one stage pretty awesome sight those things.

the boat was lunar sea he runs from hervey or gladstone but mainly gladstone. great boat and great skipper.

cheers matt

SSHHHH ABOUT THE COLOUR OF THE PLASTICS dint you know that if it isnt nuclear chicken then it doesnt work. That way there is more for us to buy .

Some great fish there mate those spanglies pull hard on the spin gear. Looks like a top trip other than the weather did you give the Chaos Jigs a run?
