queensland Murphy's Reef 26/6/17

[Doyley]

A late report. With the weather so nice on Monday decision was made Sunday night to head out to Murphy's at first light.  

Sounded around for a while to find very little.  You can always count on whiptails and triggerfish to remove your bait.  We lost the sounder for about an hour (which I have now read is a common problem with Lowrance if left on auto depth)  so we were fishing blind and continuing to struggle.  Moved over to the Mooloolaba Blinker to find a lot of bait but unfortunately nothing chasing them.

About 9:30 the tide started to run, the ocean went to glass and we had a steady flow of fish coming over the side.  A legal Tuskfish and a range of juvenile reef fish.  Still very new to offshore fishing so a few PB's amongst them including a red emperor.

Plenty of variety there to keep you entertained and always good to get a red regardless of size - I got a random one yesterday off Pt Lookout. Shame the sounder was out of action for a while - shows hard fishing would be without them.

This Monday looks good as well. It's  just a pleasure to fish I in those conditions.

My previous sounder turned itself off a few times, I would unplug it for awhile and then replug it and it would work again.
