Offshore Rainbow

[PinHead]

We ventured forth again on what is now a well worn path..up to Rainbow beach.
This trip there was myself and wife, Aigutso (Mike) and wife, Mr & Mrs Ausfish (Steve and Eileen), Searaider 2 (Pete), gunna ( Pete) and theoldlegend John plus Keith (not as AF member).

We hit the usual haunt of the Sports Club on Saturday night for dinner and a few drinks. A top night..I highly recommend the seafood platter they serve.

Sunday morning and the normal accusations as to who snored the loudest. We did have 2 people leave the bedroom and sleep in the lounge due to someone's snoring but we won't mention TOL's name in respect to that.

Down to Carlo Point and boarded Baitrunner. No wind to speak of and hardly even noticed going out through the mad mile and the bar. A few whales were spotted and great to see them.

We started fishing..a bit slow at first and then a relatively constant stream of fish came aboard. Hardly any run to speak of and we drifted all day. No wind all day either led to almost perfect conditions.

Mike caught a PB snapper of about 78cm.

The catch consisted of snapper, pearl perch, moses perch, hussar, sweetlip, parrot, cod and tuna.

The tuna were a lot of fun..only 2 fishign for them..as soon as the bait hit the water the fish was on. They certainly stretched the arms a little.

A superb day and thanks to the other members that attended..great company.

great day on Baitrunner, top day out there with good fish and top company,
some tuna mayhem, ...that Baitrunner burley certainly curries them up,, a lot of laughs and stretched arms... thanks Greg for organizing the Charter.

it was great to blood a new rod and reel with a tuna. Tried pink plastics offshore with no result so flicked them and ended getting the snapper on a floater

TOL is quite proud he still has it... in being able to clear a room? all other known snorers where put in their own cell for the Sat night otherwise the lounge would have been crowded.

Also I have someones filleting knive so give me a pm

Good to see the weather gods played ball this time for you all.
A lot better then last time I reckon
Is it my imagination or does Eileen always seem to have a picture taken with a fish on??

So how many burley trails were left by the passengers this time?

Thanks for the pictures too Greg
