Hook up 09

[Cobia Kid]

gday,
a trip 40nm out ot se can be changed from a shit trip to a good 1 with the
change of light to dark.

the plan was to hit up northwest island and surrounding reef. but the fish wernt biteing so we decieded that the closer reefs on the island might be the better option... it wasnt..

as soon as dusk hit it was on with a spangled emperor on board. we wernt sure
if these were a weighable fish but we found out about half an hour ago that they
arnt only red throat and grassies classify as ""lippa""

then for the guest mark he got a stonker 9lb trout (his first trout) then for the rest of the night there was lippa action all night.

at about 5am a ###### decides to drive 10m from the boat and take our mark but with no harm done. back to fishin!

as soon as day breaks we get nothing so we head home on a mill-pond

TALLY: 10 lippa, 4 spanglys, 2 trout

Cheers
Jamie

First fish is a chinaman... I think

yes that first fish is a chinaman and they are highley toxic with sigitura.. but in WA they are unreal eating, it is only east coast queensland i think that has the poisen.

I am fishing out of gladstone/boyne tannum area. their is a competition on atm that is the Boyne/Tannum Hookup.
