queensland goldie inshore reef action

[tugger]

went over the tallebudeger bar about 6 am this morning very flat no breakers on the bar till we got outside where it was a 1m northerly swell no wind. couldn't find any large bait schools so we anchored on 1 of my spots started to get livies straight away 2 yakkas then 1 big slimie also got a buaet little bonito. we put the slimie under a balloon put a yakka on the bottom and a few floating pilchards and sat back. bait started smashing all around us at about 730 and the ballon went off at 8 and then it jumped zzzzzzz a good size dolphin fish lit up and took off jumping many times we cleared the other rods cause this bloke looked a buaety first gaff shot saw it tamed then iced down in a slurry. a bit over 1200mm and felt about 10kilo a big girl with no boof head the livie on the bottom got hit by what look like a school mackerel slice. so we called it a day by 930 as my son was getting a little sea sick the bar was good going back as well all cleaned up by 11 so it looks good for over xmas chaps
