BROWNS BAY/LOGAN RVR - 22/07

[T1]

Hi All

Now, before we go any further, please don't ask for the coordinates to our spots.... As i can see you will all rush out for a slice of the HOT action that exists!!

Ole buddy SMERDO and I left Redland BAy at 6.30am in a last trip before he starts uni again this week. We motored out to Browns Bay/Giants Grave where we found some nice bottom and anchored up. Within minutes wwwhhhhhsssshhhhhWWWWSSSSSHHHH and we were being pi%#ed on from great heights! This lasted for an hour and a half with minimal respite. SMERDO comes out with a pearler midway through the torrent - 'Hey T, you know what we look like? A pair of Penguins on an Iceberg!' It really wasn't funny but it was because here's the 2 of us justing standing stiff like penguins hoping it would go away - we really couldn't do much else! Nonetheless, we battled on for not a lot of fish before deciding mid morning that this was a waste of time and we'd head up the Logan for some respite from the wind.

Next stop Marks Rocks where it was as windy but not as much chop so we persisted there for a few hours before deciding to head back to allow enough time to clean up and head to the Lions match (great win by the kids by the way and Aker can go and freeze his a#s off in Melb - i'm told geese like cold weather!).

The total catch for the day was a Shovelie, a Squid, a Whiting, a Sole and a Bream all of which were returned bar the Squid (for the next Snapps session). And just to kick it in the guts further, the Sounder appears to have drowned itself in the downpour... All of which limited our options after the first 2 hours out.

Still a good day out with SMERDO and not a lot of fish caught but that happens!!

Take Care T

PS: Does anyone know someone that can repair Sounders? Advice/recommendations would be greatly appreciated (with GPS points for our spots above)...

Hi T,

The best electronics repairers around are Trymax Marine at New Cleveland Rd, Capalaba. If they cant fix it, no-one can.

Cheers,

Sealife

Thanks SEALIFE, thats just down the road from me too!

TINN (McGyver) reckons he can fix it so i'll give him a crack first and if he can't i'll take it to Trymax.

Thanks Again T

PS: anyone in particular?

Bad luck mate.....you should have gone out to Wello instead.
I use to troll for flathead around the Pin/ Logan River but now just can't seem to draw myself away from those hard fighting bay squire.
Cheers Brent

Thanks Brent - i know what you mean! TINN keeps saying that he much prefers to chase Squire/Snapps than bream now too... I'll tell you though, nothing beats a good session of good Tailor in the surf! That is great fun!

Take Care T

T1 my man, you lucked out a little bit again. Look on the bright side tho. SQUID!!!!! On the jig or what??
At least you would have been provided with some laughs from good mate smerdo.
Better luck next time.

Rich

PS: no jew this time but plenty flatty.

T1 when are you going to learn. Another fishless trip Didn't I tell you to wait until this week to go fishing. Don't go chasing them in the rain Desperate to catch a fish T1

Don't worry I will help you out tommorrow night when you board the blessed boat

Not to worry tho you didn't catch fish but you still have hope tommorrow night

Take care T

Can you tell me the exact spots you went to because I would like to give them a go

[T1]

Not telling you anything - you want to go you, hop on the Lebo Express (in any weather, not just when it's perfect)... Anyway, tomorrow night may have to be Wed night looking at Seabreaze. I might still take mine given 'Manhhuoaallo' wants a bit of the action. IBBO said he is keen so 2 boats maybe ok. We can use your sounder to set ourselves up...

What do you think? Call later...
