queensland GC Seaway and abouts

[Brian D]

To furfil a promise to myself I have moved the Cruise Craft from home to work enabling me to have a pre work fish.

I would really like to get a couple of jacks out from under the service wall and some GT's off the pontoons and boat ramp but the tides are slow low there is very little water.

Having no interest in dry fishing I have been heading out to the seaway targeting jacks from within the rock caves.

How I have been doing will have to wait for some Toga photos :woohoo:

any chances of maybe a teaser pic?

Nop - I think the current excuse is "I'm busy and delayed at work"

:woohoo: :lol:

C'mon chilly suspense is killing us all

Sorry guys but I got no great thrill. After 4.30am starts 3 days in a row I thought I would have more to show. Super low tides, big swell, 25 knot winds and heaps of traffic all contributed to poor results but the biggest factor was most likely my head. I don't enjoy fishing in the GC seaway but I was too sturborn to fess up.

Here's what it looked like from my view this morning trolling up to take off point [img size=461]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/1-73dd31d274424a49067ff50836372830.JPG

but no jacks from the seaway. I know I should try comera, sanctuary cove and other spots but I wanted a jack from the seaway [img size=461]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/5-22e0d4c1d5665667bf83d0ff6ec7d5d4.JPG

If there had been more water then I might have half a chance but low tides where the order [img size=461]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/6-2e145a5e6fb10b3333ce3f5f4822ff11.JPG

[Dazzamcgee]

[Bri The Pom]

Brian

You should of shouted and said g'day.

[greystoke]

I've only caught one Jack in my life and it was from the GC Seaway, kept getting busted off without it ever dawning on me it was Jacks, until eventually landed the one.

It was right on the south west corner of South Straddie, near the marker there.

[thousandyards]

where were those shots taken?? is that near the spit or one of the islands?

[Bri The Pom]

The 2nd photo is the end of the spit,you can see the vmr tower.

[thousandyards]

looks like the SW corner of south straddie from there....

[Bri The Pom]

yes its taken from the corner of south straddie looking towards the spit.
