14kg Red on the Banks today

[Pedro Jnr]

Me, my boys and the old man hit the Banks today, it had been a while (hard to get out during the footy season), any way it was the first time my young blokes have fished the banks so we only only left the ramp at 7am and was back home by 2pm, 5 hours of fishing 50 metres of water was enough for a 10 & 12 year old!

Great weather, good fishing, body count was 14 pearlies, 6 parrot, 1 Maori Cod and 2 Red Emperor (14kg & 4kg), the youngest bloke got the 4kg Red on his first drop of his first trip, hows that for a start!

The kids also got to see a 9 - 10 foot hammer head swim right up to the boat, plenty of stories for school tomorrow

Cheers,
Pedro Jnr.

5 hours fishing with the kids for that sort of return.....well done and that is a serious red which would feed the family for the entire month

That's what i call a successful day; out with the boys, good weather and some great fish. I can here it now "dad when are we going out fishing again"

solid red mate. i ain't seen one that big from the banks before

[Pedro Jnr]

Over the last couple of years we have managed to get a few good ones on the Banks, before that 14kg model above I have bagged (2) other 13kg Reds and the Old Boy got a 14kg one a month back and last year he nailed a 16kg Red, one day we will reach the Holy Grail of bottom bashing, the 20kg monster!

They are not as common out off the Sunny Coast as they are up North, but they are there for the persitant fisherman or fisherboy!

Cheers,
