Mission beach overnighter

[disorderly]

Hi Guys...

Went for a overnight spin to the reef with a Swiss guest and despite the fact that this is only the second time he has fished in the sea ,he made good work of it..
We bagged out on nannies and only a gaffing malfunction let our 6th spanish escape boatside but the weather was fantastic and the fish bit real well leading up to the high tide but were quiet otherwise.

[disorderly]

My deckie Sven had a tough initiation into the world of overhead reels....I had gaffed and landed 4 nannies and 4 spanish mackeral while he tried to undo the mother of all tangles and then the bite shut down..but he later made up for it by landing a 9.8 kg yellowfin tuna on a double hookup ...unfortunately I lost mine as the Halco had been used one too many times and let go on the front trebles..he also scored the largest spanish at 12kg as well as some nannies,redthroat and a mack tuna..

Hi Disorderly, nice catch.

Mate I am heading up at Chrissy for a week or so and debating wether or not to tow my Cruise Craft up there.

Has Clump Pt boat ramp got a pontoon yet? I know the Hull River ramp at South Mission has a pontoon but think maybe the ramp might be a tight fit with my boat.

Cheers

Send the weather here to please

Robbo...a pontoon is being installed at the moment..

Whatscracken..the conditions were magic..

Ron..... the jacks are a bycatch but yeah I love seeing them pop up...they are such a strong fighter and a tough looking fish as well....

Jt..it made such a difference to have a deckie who didnt get sick and was up for frequent anchor pulling ..just meant we could try that many more spots...but noone would have got sick out there today .....it was just beautiful....a shame the other couple could not have experienced such weather..it makes all the difference....

weather was perfect,Daz..and yep spewing about losing the yellowfin.....last time I caught one was 15 years ago....and that was in Mexico....but I think I'll have to get some skirts and start trying trolling some of the deeper water for Wahoo,tuna,Mahi Mahi etc...good excuse to try and find some potential red spots as well..
