Pummy passage 26th April

[Funchy]

Hit the passage on the yak at 5am and was off at 5:15am..... Had left the anchor at home so I hid the yak in the bushes and flew home to get it. Was back paddling by 5:30am Tide was running in and it was a full moon.

Headed to the beacons at the mouth of Bells and threw a placcy around for a while but no joy. Headed across the passage to the Bribie side and conected to a 44cm flat one.

Decided to throw a popper around for a while but only scored a small gar fish then as I was drifting around in 50cm of water the ocean seemed to start boiling about 20 metres from me, they seemed to be small striped looking fish about 10cms long. There were hundreds of them. They came right up to the yak .

Moved over in behind the islands and scored a good sized grunter who smiled for the camera the went back

Then a nice 54cm flatty decided to join the party, well tomorrow nights party

Then a little bream came, smiled and left

I fished all along the mangrove line on the mainland side of the passage for about 2klms for not a touch

Went back over to the mouth of Bells and hooked up to something pretty big (calling it for a good sized trev). Peeled a heap of line off and I was concerned about being spooled so tweeked up the drag as I madly tried to get the anchor in 1 handed (FAIL!!!) Ended up slowing it then getting some line back, then another run and slowed it again. Just as I started to get some more line back my leader knot failed

Drifted around and got onto anther good fish but got busted off at the jighead. Then hooked up to another fish, had it almost to the yak and it let go?????????

After 3 lost fish I said bugger it and headed in and took the missus out to lunch. Need browny points if a bloke is gonna fish 4 days in a row


Top day on the water again

Cheers Micko,

I knew someone would know what they were. Was weird watching them slowly boild towards the yak.

As for the mixed bag, yeah it is good to get some variety. Would have loved to have landed what ever that solid fish I hooked up on today.
