Sunnie Coast Sunday

[Lucky_Phill]

OK, didn't see to many reports from the weekend ?

Just the quick version of what happened then.

Last minute decision ( due to belief that the wind would be NOT what the BoM predicted ), to head to Mooloolaba.

Stinky_Brad ( Brad )and sharkbait ( Kris ) as crew and off, arriving at Moobar at 4.30am. #Little wind. # Payneful ( Sam ), called us up on the VHF to say it was a little choppy going out. #No probs in ReBait.

Hit Caloundra 12 mile area # # # # and baits away. #With a couple of good size squire on board, the Parrot were starting to chew. #Kris missed a couple of good hits. #Just a bit picky, those fish #

Weather turning from good to very good and wind dropping out with the rising of the sun. #Enough for a good feed in te esky so off to do what the plan was, and that was to collect bait. #The grounds around Currimundi holds good numbers Yakka and Slimies. #But not today.

The pick hit the bottom in about 18mtrs. #Jigs down, but alas, nudda ! #Then Kris said he thought he saw schoolies under the boat. So on goes one of " Those " slugs. #Bang ! #Bonito ( Watsons ). #So Brad and Phill ( dats me ) slugged up, and all hell broke loose. #for the next 40-45minutes, we could not miss. #handfulls of berley going out every 5 minutes and Bonito after Bonito were hitting the floor of the big rig. #In amongst the Bonito were Yakka, and these were monsters, between 30 -35cms, some could have been 40. And YES, they were taken on " Those ' slugs. #

It got to a stage where we just had to run the slug over the top of the water to get a hit, even had one jump out and grab the slug as I was about to cast ! # # # #These fish were suicidal.

Arms getting tired, floor of boat covered in blood and Bonito. Wind has picked up to 10-12knots, white caps appearing to be increasing in numbers. #Home ? #sure !

A good run home, after having contact with Sam, who seemed to be going good on Pearlies.

So, with enough bait for a few trips out and a good feed of Squire and Parrot, 'twas a good decision and a good day. #Rebait used 42ltrs for the day, and the Nissan was economical as usual.

Result was no pics # # # # # # # #but, 65 Bonito and 20 Yakka.

and NO Kris, ReBait is NOT for sale. # # # # #

Cheers #Phill

#Kris missed a couple of good hits. #

Thanks for dobbing me in Phill

Was a great morning out though, not very often you experience fishing like that.

And yes there was one lone schoolie pulled up, but a little fella at 47cm.

Thanks again Phill, and nice to meet you Brad.

cheers, Kris.

Grinners Kevy ? have never caught a grinner there ?

Then again, my baits never usually go anywhere near the bottom, unless, of course, there is Parrot on the sounder.

Yes Kris, I had to mention that. buts that's fishing hey ? Just getting to know the area and the tricks the fish get up to.

The Squire, ' bite' was first up, Mark. 9.30 and the parrot were on the chew. Who knows ?
