Awesome report, what sort of boat is that? must be a beast with 500hp on the back!!!

Its a 8.5 metre Ocean Prowler built by Performance Plats Boats at Brendale in Brisbane. I posted pics of the beast last year in some of my other reports.

Cheers

You don't want to know unless you own a petrol station.

Hey;
Tell Rob to get a softer tip to his rod and he will outfish you all with his braid. Seriously - you've got to match the gear to the conditions and if you used 40lb mono he could have used 20lb braid and a 40lb 5m flouro leader.

Mate he has the best plastics rods money can buy and very expensive spinning reels. His braid was 20lb with 40lb and 5m fluro leader.

The gear is but only part of the story, the quality and knowledge of the angler is most important when it comes to landing fish.

Nice going Barry and crew some good fish in that lot. I fished the 12 mile area and struggled all day until our last couple of drifts around 1pm when we managed to put a feed in the esky. I heard on the radio that the arvo bite is better at the moment. Next trip might be a late morning till early evening trip. Cheers mate Brendan.


P.S for those doubting the speed of this boat you really need to see her to believe it The boat isn't named Alexander the Weapon for nothing a truely awsome rig.....

[Fishbait]

Nice report Barry. Awesome load of fish as usual. Love the beanbag idea!
Who cares about fuel economy when fishing anyway - its our pastime to relax and its great to be out on the water.
Sounds like you'll have to take a picture of the boat when you blokes leaving next time to show the folks who missed the pictures last year. I've seen it and Yes its an awesome boat! Your lucky to have friends like that.
Look forward to your next report.

I love to get some good reds. I think down south most of the offshore reefs are becoming desserts.

If you can afford the boat , you can afford the fuel. I had to look twice when I first saw this weapon in the carpark, then I had another look and thought WOW..

[dayoo]

For those who havn't seen the weapon. Attached is a pic.

Awesome fishing platform for getting out wide fast and fishing in comfort.

Cheers
Barry
