Sounds like you did ok, Webby. Our trip on Sunday was not quite as successful. Weather was spot on in the am, and we put in at Raby bay and headed over towards Peel. Near the Hole in Wall wreck I landed a grinner, what a catch! LOL. Then we made our way (after a few unsuccessful spots) up Rainbow channel and anchored near the Myora light. There were baitfish everywhere around the boat, and the baits were getting nibbled away to nothing. Russ pulled in a blue whiptail? small pretty fish, and eventually I landed a 25cm squire and released it. That was all. The wind had swung around to the north by then and the sun was scorching, so we decided to head back. Lovely day on the bay, but fish of substantial size were definitely scarce.

Gday Webby.....you sure caught an asortment of fish....A guy i know dived the seaway last week......said he saw heaps of monster flatties down there......tryed to spear one with his knife but the old flattie was too quick for him.....he gave me a couple of lures that he had found in the seaway......looks like they had just been lost because they were in good condition.(raider and some other one)
Friday the 29th of march im going to try your coochie spot.
hopefully the bream might be around.
Cheers Brent
