Headed out from Mooloolaba about 3 friday afternoon. Bit of slop around for the trip out but bearable. Checked out a mark given to me by Spiro and found some good shows. First drop was a moses perch and things were looking good. Did a couple of drifts and decided to throw out the pick and see what happens. Over the next few hours a mixed bag started coming over the side although not great size. About 10 the rod screamed into action. Grabbed a hold and started to get into it. Got about half way up then it headed for the reef again,peeling out the line I just gained. finally got it up to the side of the boat and first glimpse,I called shark but closer inspection found a Cobia estimate about 20 pound. We got busted up a few times, something would take a big run then snip through the 100 pound leader. Ended up with a good mixed bag of Squire, Parrot, Pearlies, Mangrove Jack, Trevally, Cobia, Moses Pearch.
Talked to a few Ausfishers out there and met up with Vertico who was drifting near us.
The G.P.S decide to give up the ghost about 3 in the morn so could not get out some of my favorite spots. Had to run back in on the compass.
All in all a good night fishing,Slow but still fun.
Till next time.

firstly the majority of your catch is good, and it was sloppy conditions' you went through to get at em'
but, why keep a fish you know nothing about?
or fish that eat like crap'
like your treva and the triggafish.
use your head!

you want bait/burley troll up mack tuna around the gneerin's.

this is why i never post my captures anymore here, as i don't want to provoke a flotilla of the uneducated out to my favorite grounds-selfish.......yes.

seems to me its the vested interests of tackle sales that "post the most".
the 'master angler' knows that silence is golden!


thursday- i bagged out on snapps n pearls and a few trag in 80m, i leave the tops alone till the start of summer so the tropicals can do their spawn unmolested. seems like for there to be good numbers of trout, reds and sweety's, there needs to be some protected area's applied to the barwons, hards and DI.
funny, if we managed ourselves better, it wouldn't have to come to this- those jacks just got out there this season; would of been nice if they spawned at lest once.
damon ps. yes this is a little bit of a kick for you, but i felt i had to say something maybe in time you will know why i said this now. it isn't a personal attack its an "idealogic"one.

damons33 - I guess i shouldn't ask you for any marks. For your information I did know that it was a mowong of some sort but didn't know what type. As for you saying fish that eat like crap, I do eat the trevally and the deckie had the trigger. Each to their own, but to tell me to use my head because you dont like them is an insult. As you can see from all of my posts I dont brag about bagging out on snaps n pearls and usually have a few of each species. If you are the "master angler" I would appreciate your silence.
