queensland Redcliffe Sunday.

Started off before sunrise at the Griffith St boat ramp half way between Scarborough and the Redcliffe Jetty. Headed north towards the reef(which looked a lot like a carpark) trolling a couple of Hardbody lures. First fish was a small flattie just off the ramp and then a couple of pike. One went out as live bait and as soon as I found my spot I dropped him down. Drifted around my spot for 4 bream( all around 35cm) and a couple of just legal squire. All taken on pumpkinseed grubs. My pike took off around sunrise and after 3 seconds whatever it was was around a bommie and rubbed me off.

When the sun cleared the horizon the fish shut down. I moved to another spot and pulled some just legal tailor and kept a couple of fillets and moved to the jetty and tried around the wall there for a couple of small trevally and tailor.

On the way back to the ramp caught a small cod and 2 more bream.

Back at the ramp I flicked a chartruse minnow around the beach and landed a small flounder and even smaller flattie on an sx40.

The fish kept a bend in my rods, but nothing worth keeping. Wish I knew what busted me off. Didn't feel like a snapper, just lots of speed.

Sounds like an eventful session. Good bream in that catch.

I was there too in my two man green bass canoe. :laugh: Covered allot of water however anchored up on a small patch in the middle of nowhere. Caught approx 10 undersize snapper, and about the same in whiting. No big runs or keeper fish. Massive turtle scared the crap of of me when it came up next to the canoe and that was about it. SE wind came up instead of a NE and it was a hard paddle back to the boatramp. It sounds like you have a much better day tomca!

that was you heading out to the green marker after sunrise E1?

I had a bit of a moment near the ramp. I was drifting in about a foot of water on the reef, and didn't notice the whalewatching cat go past further out. When the wake came onto the shallows with the wind, I thought I was gonna get smashed onto the reef.
