1770 quickie

[cobiaman]

Righto, a little bit of a report from me...



I had the privilege of fishing with muddy toes and tim the tiler. Left anthonys place around 2130, arrived at agnes around 430. Gave the guys in beeracuda a gentle wake up and of to the servo.



Headed out to the reef in glassed out conditions, arrived at secret spot #1 and started the first drift. Well, the first drift lasted 3 hours and we moved no more than 30m and filled a 100l esky with some quality fish.



We then worked our way north and met up with beeracuda who was anchored up on one of our spots, fished through till about 8 or 9pm till the current and wind picked up so we decided to have a well earned sleep.



Woke up the next day and put some more in the esky before calling it a day around 10am and headed back to the ramp, let the boys on team beeracuda know what our shirt sizes are and headed off home.



Awesome weather, great bunch of blokes and my favourite place in the world, life doesnt get any better...

Anthony told me you got a Green Jobbie.

I had never caught one up that far.... so it appears you got a Rosy ( Gold Band ) Jobfish.

They are great chewing and usually come in schools. That is a good size fella ya got there too.

Nice work getting Free M & G shirts too.

Thanks for the pics etc.

If it was up to marty, you guys would have been cleaning our boat in your jocks at the tavern...

Doing a little ceremony and awarding us our shirts at the m&g is nothing compared to that!

The one you got Graeme is a cracker. We usually get them to 5kgs in the deep water off BreakSea Spit and north to Lady Elliott Island. That fish looks better than 5kgs.
