A Couple of Peel Island Adventures

[Peter4]

Ditched work Friday afternoon before the Queen's Birthday weekend and headed to Peel with Kyle for the afternoon/evening bite. We were looking for big snapper.

Fished hard but only managed some undersize squire and tuskies, a small tailor and a good maori cod that hit my threadybuster. Kyle also found a group of small trevally, five of which fell to his butterfly jig. A poor outing but with great conditions and a beautiful sunset...

Hit Peel again this morning looking for those elusive big snapper. After three hours Kyle had two undersize squire and I had one grinner! Suddenly a very excited group of birds starting hitting bait on the surface about 100m away. We motored over and spent the next thirty minutes throwing slugs at a mixed group of fish.

We ended up with 20+ tailor to 55cm, four big dart and three trevally. A hot half hour!

We then did some breamin over the reef. Soon my cultiva mirashad was monstered by a big bream that busted me off on the coral. The next cast with another mirashad was monstered by a big cod that laughed at my beam gear and busted me off in two seconds. Kyle meanwhile got a nice 28cm bream.

My last mirashad went out and I was rewarded first with a small bream and then by a 32cm beast that nearly did me over on a bommie...

A good day out.

Cheers

Pete & Kyle

Bloody vets!...

Couldn't believe it Dave. Pete & his mate just watched from 30m away as Kyle and I landed a fish a cast for half an hour.

I yelled at them to go around and hit the school from the other side but they just sat and watched and fished for flathead (unsuccessfully)...

Gotta make hay while the sun shines, I reckon...
