queensland 1770

[darcy]

went up to 1770 for a couple of days. Started off extremely badly, had 4 huge hookups whilst trolling halcos and x raps most llikey blufin tuna and spanish macks and landed none of them but saw the spanish. then went for a flatty sess got some nice flatties using robzams, flatty went crazy about them. They were outfishing plastics for a while.

Third day went rock hopping and got some nice bream and somehow managed to land a 48cm cod out of its reef home on a 1000 twinpower and saltist light game rod loaded with 3lb braid and 8lb leader. was pretty happy with that. photos on mates camera will load them up soon.

We then found about 2km of mack tuna, bonito and spotties chopping up bait and we were the only boat chasing them. awesome fun on 20lb braid, casting metals. The tuna made my certate scream for mercy. Had numerous 100m+ runs and got spooled once but managed to chase after and land a nice tuna. Had heaps on double hook ups and managed about 20 big macks my biggest going 81cm and smallest for about 70cm. about 20 bonito and 7 mackeral. was awesome fun cranking back metals and seeing tuna inhale them. Awesome fight aswell they would swim towards you til they saw the boat and then scream off.

Second last day decided to hit up the estuarys lost a huge queen on 3lb whilst chasing flatties on robzams and fought it for bout 1 minute then spat the hooks. Didnt really think that they would hit one otherwise would have had the bigger gear. Then straight after lost a nice barra gill raking me with 80lb leader. was pretty cut.

Had a nice sess at the marina chasing trevally, pike, bream, cod, flatties and butter bream on sx40s, chubbys, poppers and placcys. managed a triple hook up. then went and got two tailor on 4lb. Were both around 52cm.

All up was pretty gud. didnt manage to go to far offshore due to the bad weather but still had some fun.
