Off Scarby/Moreton/Caloundra

[TREVELLY]

Hi Jason,

The cobe wreck mark you gave me was about 20km north of where I was and I had 1/3 of a tank left for a 55km return to Scarby so I dare not risk it. We went to Wild Banks FADs and about 10-15km North - about 16km ESE of Caloundra through the desert from mainland out to Caloundra Reef - just a couple of pinnacles on the GPS maps and fossicing about for baitfish on small rises in the "desert". I will have a good look about the places you gave me when i go out from Mooloolaba in the not too distant future. Just need some mack reports to encourage me.

We were out Saturday and Sunday - Sunday 7pm till 10pm was pretty ugly and yes I did leave an anchor behind in 38m of water at Shallow Tempest. I have just ordered a Sarca replacement from Bias. We spent yesterday arvo by the pool with a beer after trying to get a new anchor from a few places after cleaning up the boat and gear.

Water temps on Saturday were 24.5 and on Sunday 24.2 dropping to 23.8 after sunset. Probably warmer a little further out.

hey trev i checked out that wreck mark whilst i was out the cape. on the way out there it was flat sandy bottom all the way, i watching the feul gauge very carefully as i still had another day to go, got out there in this dessert and behold a nice show on the bottom in the middle of nothin lol. wasnt much life on it but i can see it being a nice spot at times, i put about 4 drifts over it and nutter, just the same as every were else i tried that day. there was another boat working about .5nm ene of there, i should of checked it out but as i said feul conservation was a priority.

cheers jp
