Northern Bay and Tangalooma

[Rainbowrunner]

Took advantage of the weather again for a day and went across to Tangalooma for a swim and snorkel. Was a very flat day until the trip back to Scarborough, 15 knot northerly makes it a bit wet and bumpy, at least wind and tide were going in the same direction.
Had a quick fish on the way there. Kept a nice Black Spot Estuary Cod for dinner and a few small mackeral just over and undersized were thrown back along with Moses perch and a few others. Was quite a few mackeral and small longtails busting up but didnt bother chasing them around as I get more longtails floating livebaits out and drifting through schools of bait but alas none today. Also had a quick drift along the sandhill weedbanks and got 1 nice squid but not enough to keep us interested.
Snorkelling around the wrecks always amazes me and there is always something to see.

Thanks for the report.

It was beautiful out yesterday. I managed to land a 10kg longtail and a 70cm schoolie. Hooked perhaps 5 more longtails (or other big things) but lost them for various reasons.

I was out there Sunday morning also, bit south of Tangalooma and landed a few nice schoolies on pilchards and lures. Plenty of small schools of tuna around. Mostly mack tuna but a few longtails also.
