went out on a noosa blue water yesterday after getting no sleep and driving three hours from midnight to 3.45 at tewantin, and they decided to give double island a crack. took about hour and half to get there in the swell. anyways straight up pulled a mixed bag of reef fish, parrot, tailor, and numerous squire. most things were either just legal or undersize but plenty of action. i then hooked up to a decent fish which fought well went a 12 lb red emperor. had a break and sat down for a bit and shortly after i discovered that my sea sick tablets didnt work and spent the rest of the trip as head burley person. during this time we moved a couple times and each time fish were still biting well, and eventually a couple larger snapper came onboard 6, 7.5kg. numerous tailor and huge catfish showed up along with a reef shark. at the end of the session (best news for me in my state) one fella realised he was on, and after few secs three other guys realised they were also connected to his line. at this point a huge marlin came dashing out of the water near the boat and things then clicked as to what the fella had on the end of his reef rig and pillie. it was a mad dash then to cut the tangles free including from the prop. and after a long fight and many more jumps landed this nice fish about 5 foot long, 30kg? the guy who got it had never fished before so he learnt how to very quickly. so yeah along with whales and dolphins splashing about and very professional skipper and deckie, was a good day out. id recommend them to anyone. i may get a copy of some pics soon.
cheers Luke
