Been a while since I posted so thought I would share the weekends trip and a couple pics from the trip before.
On the weekend I stayed on the closer grounds for snapper and mixed reef. I scored some nice reds on 10kg line with one going 10.5kg which has been something I have been wanting to do for sometime. I also got a nice samson on the light line as well. We got some nice fish but worked hard both inclose and outwide to get the results.
Just a reminder I will be doing a talk about Reds from the wide bay bar at 7pm this friday night at the boat show. Come and say hello if your there.
10.5kg red on 10kg line
Another one just under 10kg on the light line
Foxy with an ugly snaps
Mark also got a red on 10kg line
Samson on 10kg
Nice sized spangald
The 300ltr underfloor esky getting a workout
And the best catch of them all lol....The cat fish were thick and as far out as 40km from the bar...Great drop this one...catfish and remora lol
On the second trip I fished around the 35km area from the bar to start with scored a couple nice reds
Later that day we went off the shelf for some pearlies and this big black cod took a pearlie on the way up...Unfortunately after many attemps to get bim back down he was well and truley dead which was a shame and decided to get a few photos of it.
We fished into the night and I travelled around in good conditions dropping on little shows here and there and was rewarded with some good reds.
Fished some rough ground the next morning for a good mixed bag including this 4.55kg red throat
If your looking at fishing this area or want to know more about it then come to the boat show friday night as I will be doing a talk/presentation on Reds off the Wide Bay bar...It starts at 7pm and please come and say gday..
Regards,
Greg
