Saturday morning 4.30 am i crossed the noosa bar heading roughly NE with a destination approximately 60km's away. I had been given some intelligence regarding a bit of rust i had been looking for ,and saturday morning weather was perfect for going to have a look. This was not a fishing trip in the literal sense of the word but i could not help but take a couple of rods , half a pack of pillies, and five frozen yakka's i had left over from Fraser. The weather was really behaving and 1.45 hours later i had arrived at the approximate area , another hour of sounding had me confident that i had found what i was looking for so i anchored on a very large show of fish rigged up and set about enjoying my self.
The first drop of the pananoster dropper produced 2 cobia of about 6 kg these were returned as i only had the small esky and limited ice , this wasn't supposed to be a fishing trip! I rigged up the bait runner and baited up a semi thawed yakka while waiting continued to fish the bottom this produced cobia after cobia ,then the bait runner started to go off!! The 1.15 hour session produced 5 snappa in the 4-6 kg range , 15 cobia, 3 kings, 20 odd tailor and many rat emperor and one very tired fisherman. I kept only the snappa and some of the tailor but i will be going back. Here's a couple of pics.
