Offshore Mooloolaba

[hookinin]

Left the Mooloolah river around 3.00am and headed for the banks in a mates boat. With 5 onboard his 2400 Kevlacat tangles were going to be issue even though we reguly fished together with 4 and work well. I decided to fish plastics to start with and leave the bottom bashing rigs to the mates. We pulled up near our first mark to do a drift to see our direction and rig up. Since mine was ready i dropped down and was on as soon as i got to the bottom and after a good fight the snapper in the picture was onboard. What a way to start the day but the other snapper we got through the day were around the40-60cm. Pealies were a solid size as was most of the parrot(tuskies). Rest of the catah was made up of Hussar, Maori cod, Jobies,Trag jew and Jamie got a Red emperor,a nice bonus down here.

[hookinin]

Yeah Tim was 2oz when driftingand still needed 1.5 at anchor

[TimD]

Yeah Tim was 2oz when drifting and still needed 1.5 at anchor

Was that due to the depth or was the current raging ??


How deep is it out at the Banks ?


cheers tim

[hookinin]

mainly the depth. Can be anything from 40- 80m where we fish but we mainly fish 65-80m.

Yeah BB there seems to be plenty of snapper around on the sunny coast/fraser region still. I reckon they will be there and only improve as the cooler months arrive.
