Cape Moreton Tuesday 27 August

[Ashtom]

Had another good trip off Cape Moreton Tuesday. Left spinnaker marina 5.30'ish. headed to Flinders and fished up to Hutchies. All bottom bashing. Caught enough and happy with that but I have seen others getting a lot of snapper I'm missing. I guess I will have to start floating the bait down rather than bottom bouncing. I enjoy the learning curve.

Saw an absolute truckload of whales and some very close. Very majestic but a bit nerve rattling at times. All 3 of us somehow managed to get lines caught by passing whales and quickly spooled metres of line off before cutting off. I don't think I'll anchor again while they are around. Wouldn't want to experience one collecting the anchor rope!

Ended up with a PB 50cm tuskie, 60cm kingie, squire about 45, 2 gold spotted wrasse and a nice Moses. Beautiful day on the water bit I'm already keen to get back out after the snapper I'm missing!

I think my photo has a lot less fish than what I'm seeing on other posts. Have to work on that!

That’s a good haul mate it’s not about the numbers as I only ever bring one or 2 fish home as I fish enough not to freeze my fish .i think it would be a good idea to drift around with whales about I don’t think it would be fun getting tangled up with one..
anyway nice effort

Top effort for a day on the water. I was fishing further south on the 29's and managed 4 pan sized squire. All float lining whole bait. Cheers SS.
