Hi, just a short report about the Barwon Banks early hours Friday morning (09.12.2005). Headed out from mooloolaba about 0200hrs for a 2 hour trip in a sloppy 15-20knt Northerly. Arrived on banks and first 3 drops saw 3 good squire about 2kg. Then the rest of the crew got in on the game and a total of 9 were boated in about 20 minutes. Some nice Hussar, Red throats, cobia and Moses perch followed. The bite was hot until about 0630 when it just died and not another fish was boated. We tried numereous spots for nothing so decided for a tow on the way home and was still unable to raise a fish. Conditions were very sloppy with a stiff 20knots N blowing all morning. Headed home and back at ramp by 1000. The current was very fishable. Photos maybe tomorow. Good luck to all you guys lucky enough to be heading out there this weekend.
