Another Sunday Report

[Billo]

Well the weather gods seemed to be with us this morning .
Headed out from Bribie at 4:30 bound for spot X
After filling the live bait tank , we berleyed and live baited for about 4 hours …..with only 1 mackeral and a few half yellowtail.... and not a Cobe to be found . >

Late morning we gave away the top of the bay and headed north of Moreton.
There were pilchard school's everywhere and had me on the edge... and a few tuna busting em up. We weren’t after tuna , but we threw a few slugs for the hell of it
After spinning up a little jelly bean tuna up , we noticed something followed it up ……there in the shadows beyond the stern…just what we were after

In a matter of seconds I whipped out a new livie , snapped it on my circle hook and threw it out….HOOK UP

After 25 minutes of fighting , my good mate Dane ( Jiggit ) did his hand at his first tagging job pretty good for a beginner …pretty damn good , bullseye on shot 1

a quick pat and quick snap off the camera , and it was off …..but not without battle scars a bit of damage to the dorsal , but got it kicking and swimming ok for a release …..heres hoping !

Unfortunately no more fish were pulled ....

REEEEEEEEEEALLY TOUGH Conditions

[Fishinmishin]

Very nice indeed. Jealous I wasn't on the water and angry my boat is still in the shop. Those seas look awesome and if there was only a couple fish caught on the day.....the black soon turned it into a pearler of a trip .
Cheers, Jay

Great Fish Billo,

We trolled from Wide Caloundra to Deep Tempest and back to Smiths. Not a Sausage!!!.

The Weather was great and the tuna were everywhere, but nothing would take the skirts.

Nice fish Tim, first for the tinny looks a healthy little fish the fin split is unlikely to cause much of a problem, seen much worse previous injurys and they were fine, your 1 up on me I better get out there!

[Billo]

Yeh Rob …Cherry popping for IVPLAY …first T&R for the tinny …
Was still fairly healthy, had to pull it onboard to unwrap the leader from its fins, but kept its colour well and was off after a few minutes of swimming …felt great to get it back in the water.

It was unbelievably quiet …stoked to get a black on a quiet day though.

Better get out there mate …I am not planning to leave it long between Bills
