Marlin, Spanish and Cobe

[Fishinmishin]

Met up with 'Billo' this morning for a half day run in the bay. Was hoping to head out NE Cape but was greeted with a stiff bay chop and thinking it was only gonna increase through the day we decided to do a quick and close mission. Explored a spot I've been meaning to look at but not much showing so off to the next option. Upon arriving it had a good show on the sounder so prepared for a drift. 1st drift and WHAM.......IT WAS A MARLIN ...............................OK mabey not , IT WAS A SPANISH MACKERAL ..............................I wish but not, .......it was of course a cobe . We proceded to drift over the spot and every one resulted in a hookup or double hookup. Only rats this time but Billo pulled a respectable one outta the bunch. The deckies ALWAYS gotta out do me . We would drop a bait or plastic onto there nose and watch them follow it down and hookup each time. Kinda takes the effort away from catching them so we pulled the pin at 8 in the eskie even though the cobes wern't finished with us yet. Driving home we noticed a couple ripples in the highway and hoping it was a LT, Billo chucked a bait outta the boat only to hook another cobe . They are bloody everywhere .
Cheers, Jay

LOL at Jay the “CRAB CRUNCHER “ CRACKER ...although a mack could have gone done nice as you were hoping , a billy wouldn't have gone astray wither

Cheers for the top morning Jay …you really showed you know your stuff on em [smiley=tekst-toppie.gif]….even if your getting bored of cobe, cobe and more cobe…couldn’t keep em away from the hooks if we tried.

[Always_offshore]

great cobes,good rffort considering the weather!!!any-time you need a deckie during the week give me a yell.

[Fishinmishin]

Will do Andrew. A trip next week on mon or tue looks to be on the cards (both hopefully) . If your keen on one PM me please. Yep Dale, same spot...were you out tuesday? Always_Offshore, the weather was only ordinary when we started the trip. Once we decided to try another spot and started pulling the cobes it all turned very good. I was tempted to head to NE Moreton still but with the plug lost for the eskie there was little ice an no chance of making a slurry for the cobes so we called it a short day.
Cheers, Jay

turned out to be a wise decision anyhow !
