Well i will try this again. >

I had finished with the reply a couple of nights ago and just as i was about to post it we had a very close lightning strike which took the power out. Bugger >

The Baby doesn't want to show it's face and the doc may let it go for another week. It's only 2 days overdue maybe i can get another fishing trip in.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

uripper- Usually beach launch from DI Point but with very little protection from the N-NE winds at the moment we have been heading out the bar of late using both Tin Can Bay ramp and the ramp near Rainbow beach (Carlos point)
The only place to get some protection is by sneaking into the bay area of DI Point where there is a large cove protected by big sand bank running to the SW of the headland. The boat is only a 5.5m JBS plate alloy cuddy cab powered by a Suzuki 115 fuel injected 2 stroke. Sorry no pics

Lmao Mark

Brejen- I will take a picture of the gps closer next time no worries at all. It does not show co-ordinates while on the plotter screen

Beefa- Depending what we intend on chasing the distance when targeting reds can range from 40-80km from DI. The depth to the shelf can vary but its mostly 60-70 m for most of the way to the shelf (depending if your fishing south, east or north of DI. The further south the deeper it is to the shelf and the opposite when you head north.)

Dave those red fish certainly require the effort that’s for sure. When the bub comes mate I will be sure that uncle Dave gets a call. (All uncles have to change nappies ) And even non-uncles by blood still have to do it.

nhoj- Being in the areas we fish the only fish that’s shows on the sounder like that is reds. They can be identified pretty easy. The sounder is a JRC ff50. Top unit.

Rob- Good to hear from you mate but it's disappointing to see you are to busy for some fishing . You have gotta get your head together mate and think like a fisherman. Remember fishing comes first. Must catch up soon.

seajayman- The reel is the new Shimano Tyrnos 30 loaded with 55lb mono line matched to a 6 foot custom made rod by John Pope at Rod Design Scarborough 3203 4877. Top combo and good for many different applications.
The rig we use on reds is just a Paternoster single hook set rig with ganged or single hooks. (50-100 pound leader)

snagged15- Those Reds were only average sized fish and can grow double that size but are not that common. A good red is around 8-10kg with a stand out fish around the 13kg. Around a15kg Red are a fairly rare catch and anything over that is a one in a lifetime fish. The Biggest to date we have caught is 18.1kg which was a site to be seen. (as pictured below)

Regards,

Greg
