    Especially when this little yellow duck can get on to them.

    Even if my hand was held while I was lead along like a little kid.

    It is way too late or a bit early for them down in the SEQ corner. Might be a few random ones here and there, a yak fisherman got one off Noosa the other week which is big news and the odd random wahoo has been seen or caught but I reckon it will be November before we start seeing them in numbers.

    Moreton Bay.

    Got done up well and truly by three good stripeys on monday.
    By the time I woke up to the size and how deep they were I lost three in a row.

    Up with the pick and out with the bigger gear and started to troll went 100 yards, 2 lines out 40 feet of water and bang, good fish, slow but heavy, bugger, a turtle, a few good kicks not a turtle, still slow and heavy, on my own, wound in the other line, dug out the gaff, definately a fish but what??????

    Put the boat into a slight circle, narrowed the the gap and up came an 18 pound cod.

    The second cod on a trolled pillie over 40 years from the same spot.

    I have caught snapper feeding on scraps under tuna and am sure now that this cod was doing the same thing under the spaniards.

    4 hook rig and medium pillie in 40 feet of water on the troll.

    Earlier on couldn't get a live bait to save my life so I think he was hungry.

    I did land a 7 pound Morwong on whiting gear, 6 pound line and whiting hook and very small piece of squid. Quite a battle.

    Beautiful morning on the water fog or no fog.

    Have fun Haji-Baba
