queensland Noosa Family Holiday

[Angus]

Went to Noosa for a few days to celebrate my grandmothers 90th. 

While it was not a "fishing trip" I did get out a couple of times. Had some good success on the Flathead using micro jigs with best session scoring me 6.

Also got out for a cheeky 1.5 hour session offshore. With limited time due to tides on the bar we opted for go big or go donut and dropped some livies on Sunshine Reef. Not a bad decision. I lost one large fish sadly to a bad knot and @Boydy bagged this solid cobia. Excellent fight.

On top of this some quality family time was had and Alastair is showing a great love for being outside often grabbing his hat and waiting at the door

I am calling that a fishing trip dressed up as a family get away @Angus. Very nice. Good question from @Drop Bear about the jigs. How deep was the water  you using them in?

Great stuff Angus and nice work on the flatties. Noosa's a great spot for a family holiday - we stay at Noosaville when we go, the river is perfect for young kids.

Good question. I was not originally after flatties. I had been told there were a lot of goldens around and that was what I was really chasing.

Anyway nothing fancy involved. Cast out (and you get one hell of a cast) and bounce it back. Just like fishing a plastic.

I was using a 15g jig but a 10g would have been better and a bit slower on the drop.

Some jigs are designed to work slower.

All flathead hit them on the drop.

Also dropped something that was probably a golden by the runs.

I did not sorry mate. Picture does not do it justice as it is right in tight to his body but it was a unit. Amazing first run.
