After all the bad weather we have had here in the South East, Wind and huge seas, i finally managed to get out this morning for a couple of hours, in fact for the first time this year.
As the high tide was not until around 8am it wasn't an early start, suits me fine, anyway we (my son and i) pushed out around the corner of Woody Point to find quite a joggly confused Moreton Bay, anyway i thought, we are here we will still have a go, we only ran up the coast as far as Redcliffe found some bait schools and started some drifts. As we are both soft plastic's nuts this suited us just nicely.
After 2 hours the score sheet was, Dad 5 Snapper, 3 just under legal, 1 at 45cms and 1 at 50cms, Son, 2 just under (Snapper), 1 mighty smash up and another hook up which nearly spooled him, in fact i had to give chase with the boat. After a couple of hundred meters he had most of his line back but unfortunately the hook pulled, we are now debating as to what it may have been? Not fast enough to be a Snapper but maybe, also the possibility of a big cod? we will never know for sure.
Anyway it was good to get out and have a fish.
Cheers,
John.
