passage wreck

[chandler130]

hey guys with the weather being so amazing yesterday (sat)i decided to go for a spearfish and i thought the wreck in the passage/bar crossing between straddie and moreton would be a good spot. the water was so clean and inviting.first dive in went straight down and had a huge jack must have been 60cm abouts sitting right in front of me besides the wreck.side on askin to be dinner. but somehow i missed.

the run was huge think we were a bit late had to work so hard to get to position was to tired to get good bottom time had a couple of shots at some parots but no luck.had lots of guns problems as i only have a second hand gun from my mate and the first time i used it.my mate was goin on about missing jacks and when he finally come up with one i had to tell him he had been chasin mowong mother in law fish haaha and was amazed it took him so long to get one cos they are dumb dumb fish.

all in all was a great experience and was a nice dive as the wreck is impressive with great fish life and bulk wobbygons everywhere.the speoro who left b4 us had some fish they looked to be quite experinced. but i think at the top of the tide with less run we could of got a fish too.

anyone know if there is a tide time difference from bris tide to the passage there???went for a bottom fish at peel on the way home and got some little squire and moses and a toady ahaha:woohoo:

The wreck is of the Rufus King, I fished it a year or so back. Very shallow, the boat was exposed at low water.

It is supposed to attract some decent Cobes and the odd Sanish and Kingie

i went high tide the high point was just under the water. only good fish i seen were the one jack and some parots. will be goin back even if its just for a snorkle is was beautiful. oooh would love the feel of a big cobia on my spear.

yeh mate the tide rips through there, its best fished on half moon when the tides are small, also if you sound around back further inside the bar you'll find some small sunken boats that hold fish
