Weds arvo saw us purring the Yalta offshore for what was going to be a beautiful, but dark, calm night. Winter winds at Cairns had me very frustrated so this was my first overnighter since Feb!
The 175 Zuk had us purring along at 50 kms an hour, so it wasn’t long before the depth range had us in the target for the evening.
The early hours were pretty poor, which wasn’t surprising, seeing the almanac predictions had us wasting our time expecting a good catch, but I have often seen that prognosis overturned.
At 2 am I steered us a little further offshore, and began some drifts of about 2 kms each and the reddies started to show. As the pics show , we also caught some nice jobbies and some excellent Robinson Sea Bream, which are an excellent chew. Not to mention the reds and largemouth who have their own culinary reputation!
Fishing finally stopped at 6.30 am when things had slowed down and the sun was up, so we steamed home thru a slight landbreeze. So satisfied! Hope you enjoy the pics.
Cheers!!
