Paul and Mark were back again along with Dan and Eric. Hopes were high for chasing kingies after jigging good bait and getting a few Sunday arvo. As it turned out the bait was hard to get and then when we got to the AJ/Kingy spot they didn’t want to chew either. We headed toContinue Reading

Paul and family were on this one. We tried hard, had good shows but it didn’t happen. I can’t find the fish in close just yet. There are no encouraging reports from friends and contacts either. The only highlight was a Mack Tuna everyone got a turn on fighting.Continue Reading

Steve had booked this in with Alvin and making up the numbers were a couple of Steve’s mates. We started off jigging bait. For once it came easy and we filled the tank. We headed to an AJ/Kingy Spot and first drift a couple of the boys hooked up. With the result of a coupleContinue Reading

We decided to go even though we knew we were probably going to be confronted with a SWer. It was there but we went early and were anchored up and berleying at Muphys for a dawn snapper bite. It didn’t happen so we played around at my good blinker area but only pulled heaps ofContinue Reading

Michael and Lisa booked this one in to learn soft plastics for their own boat down in Moreton Bay. Soft plastics weren’t caning it but we headed to the spot I had been catching the snapper and settled in and berleyed. The trip out was great with calm seas, dolphins and whales everywhere. The snapperContinue Reading

Scott and crew booked this one in to learn soft plastics. We got away early at 5am and were on the grounds in perfect time pre dawn. Things looked good with lots of bait on the sounder but the snapper didn’t play the game and I only jigged half a dozen livies off it. ItContinue Reading

This was a mixed afternoon trip chasing snapper. Joan was in on it early along with Laurie, George and Mark once again. Mark chose to fish the bottom as he had caught enough snapper on the previous few trips and did quite well on moses perch and other reefies off the bottom. Once again onContinue Reading

Rick and Ross jumped at the chance early on to get in on this trip and making up the crew were Ryan and Mark. I had heard where some good live bait was so we headed there. It looked good enough on the sounder but we only jigged about half a dozen baits off it.Continue Reading

Jim and quickly becoming regular Mark were up for this trip. We headed off straight to the snapper spot and settled in for the afternoon. Once again it took a while to get going but I struck early blood with an 88cm snapper on 20lb on a soft plastic. One of Jim’s that had toContinue Reading

We decided to go as it was the only morning the guys could get out even though there was a bit of SW blowing. We stayed in close and fished all the areas I fihed in the Creek to Coast shoot. It was a fair bit slower but we got a few and headed in.Continue Reading
