Headed out to Wide Caloundra Saturday 1-1-05 .
We started fishing about 5.30 at The Old Spot X. at Caloundra Wide We didn't get a lot of fish , but I was more than happy with the result .My deckie & I both got 3 Squire /Snapper each with the largest going 5.5 Kg.
All the fish were caught using Pillies on floating type rigs .
I got the 3 biggest fish all on one rod , using a Squid skirt on top of the Pillie .
( Thanks for the tip Reel-Job / SeaSaw ) miley=2thumbsup.gif]
WE headed back to the top of the bay at about 10.30 ,to see
if we could score some Mackies on the way home . Saw a few schools of small Tuna working , but no Mackies .
You couldn't ask for better conditions , light SWer in the morning , with just a bit of a SE swell .By mid morning it just about glassed out , then after lunch NE breeze to push us home . [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]
I'll try & post some photo's of the catch . And before you ask ,
Although it doesn't look it in the photo ,YES the smallest Squire in the photo was legal .
Geday Webby ,
I was suprised to get onto the Snapper , thought that they would have gone untill next winter , but I'm not complaining .
Now I just have to figure out how to catch em in the bay
I'm still havent caught a Mackie yet this year , then again its only 2 days old .

Hi Mark .
I didn't expect to get any Snapper , but thought that I might get a few Pearlies or Parrot . But as I said to Webby I'm not complaining .
I got all the bigger fish on the one rod that had a squid skirt on top of a pillie floating rig .
I'm starting to get hooked on this deep water fishing , hopefully I'll start getting out there more often with you in SeaSaw & Lou in Reel-Job . [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]
Geday Dave ( Wind Dancer ),
I'll catch up with you at the next meeting , hopefully I'll have some luck at 1770 to report .
Leaving Sat morning for 2 weeks .
Nice catch there Peter......Nothing better than fresh snapper on the dinner plate.
Mate buy yourself some 5" plastics and put one on a heavy jig head......big snapper love them!!!!!!!.Zoom arkansas shiner works well.
You just need a slower running current to get that jig head down into the bottom half of the water column.
Cheers Brent
Geday Brett .
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, think I'll have to give those plastics a go in the near future . Off to 770 in the morning , I'llt some off Agnes_Jack and see how I go . I'll let you know when I get Back in a fortnight , how I went .
