[fisho8]

Headed out off Scarbrough yesterday afternoon after a mental day at work and had some time up my sleeve great conditions heading out a little bumpy but not bad pulled up at my spot X lines went in and ....Wack zzzzzzz 49cm snap in the eskey and another wack 45cm snap in the esky alot of undersized one's followed. Had 2 young blokes come up to me and ask me how I was going I pulled the 2 fish out of my esky and they said wow where did you get those I told them I got them further south and pointed to a random spot and off they went haha funny enogh he caught to keepers and thanked me for it at the boat ramp lol. Both these fish had my burleigh in their guts which was good to see they picked up on it had 2 massive turtles feeding on my burleigh to....buggers but I did not mind another good feed of fish tonight. Loving this warm weather.

Got it sussed, alright. Great work yet again, Mike. What do you use as burley, and how much roughly? Was thinking of trying some next time I'm around the scarby reefs, as I seem to get snagged a lot fishing right up tight. Also, you throw a paternoster down or unweighted bait? Well done again.

Thanks Cuzza I use a mixture of Squid and pillies I do not have a burleigh buckit so I just gently throw it off the back of the boat. I don't use alot as I do not want to feed them too much I just want to get them interested. I have not fished scarbrough reef in ages where I fish there is alot of shell beds and rubble it is a good feeding ground as far as the rig I use I use a 0-1 ball sinker single 4/0 gamakatsu octo hook with a flouro pink teaser on top of the sinker I use a whole Medium squid as with the weight of that with the sinker it floats down into the coloum just nice I don't want the bait to hit the bottom I just want it floating in the coloum I have always got goos results using that method.
