Thanks Smithy

[PinHead]

On Sunday I was looking at the weather forecasrs..hmmm..Tuesday looks the goods. I gace Smithy a call and a half day trip was planned. A post on here to see if anyone else wanted to come along..Ian (sid-fishes) and Marty (Captain Seaweed) let me know and all was good.

We left Mooloolooba at about 5.30am and ventured north along the coast. A totally different look at the Sunshine Coast from the ocean side. Conditions were quite good and only got better as we went along. Looked like Smithy has a pet out there..a dolphin was at every spot we stopped.

Marty and Ian were enjoying themselves.

We initially started fishing for snapper using soft plastics. Now those two terms: "snapper" and "soft plastic" are something totally unusual for me.
There were a couple of squirey snapper landed and then it happened much to my astonishment ..my first legal snapper and on a soft plastic..will wonders never cease.
Ian got hit by something quite big ..a tuna..but a bloody shark decided he wanted it more than Ian did so all Ian got to land was the head.
Marty got a nice cobia to the boat and it spat the hook right alongside..bugger.
We got quite a few flathead and some nice pearl perch. I was also fortunate enough to land a couple of nice cod.
I think Marty beat me on the biggest grinner of the day..LOL

Thanks a lot Marty and Ian for coming along on short notice.

Thanks also to Smithy for getting us onto the fish...I would highly recommend Smithy's business to anyoen wanting a fish..a top morning out there.

Thanks Pinhead, Sid Fishes and Smithy. I could not believe my luck when I spotted the post looking for people on a day that was quiet for me at work!! Nice to meet you guys and to be looked after by Smithy. I was very impressed with the ride and stability of the Stabi and the hit rate Smithy has on his marks, really makes it look easy. Cant beat this place for a fishing backdrop, great day had by all.
Thanks Again

Bloody Hell Greg,

a legal snapper? plastics? and all in one day? you had better lie down mate and have a lemonade. I knew Smithy was good but that good?

and Mike, not miracles, plain arse i reckon, that snapper in the pic looks cross eyed, probably mistook Pinheads plastic for someone elses and took it by mistake.

Im still scratching my head, Pinhead + Snapper.

[matt fraser]

Good report, that snapper in the pic is more than legal, its a beauty, well done! Looks like a nice mixed bag of good chewing there,

Well done,

Matt

hahaha Mike..and Sue said to me.."you caught your first legal snapper and Mike was not there. Was that the first trip that Mike has not been on?"

lol...I wonder what she was thinking...you can discuss it with her over dinner in a week or two.

a trip like this is what Ausfish is about to me...not just sharing info etc on here but if an opportunity arises..share a trip with some other members..it makes for a top day.

I wonder if this is the start of something. I can just see Gregs tinny plastered with Berkley Gulp stickers with bags of plastics stashed throughout the boat while he chases those Mud I Snapps.
Well done to Smithy for achieving the mighty goal when many so charter operators and other experienced fishos have failed
