queensland Coochie Sunday August 8

[tomca]

Met up with Keen-as-fisho at the ferry terminal just before 6am for a flick around Coochiemudlo Island. As we were about to launch that bloke Tacklebox turned up with his girlfriend Kreel. Luckily they had their kayaks and fishing gear stacked all over their car so decided to join us out on the water. After waiting about 4 hours for Kreel to fluff around like all chicks do, we started the short trip across to the island.

Just past the cardinal in about 9 metres of water I dropped a 4" snapback plastic over the side onto a bit of a gravel patch and pulled up a little pink rat

Getting a few hits and catching a few fish, I tied on a damiki vault to my other rod and tried out one of the lures I acquired off Zim-man and did not diminish my catch rate

By this time T/box and kreel were over by the south east corner of the island and keen-as was getting the sh!ts up as he was opening his own donut king just next to me :laugh:

Headed in close to the island to try and lure out a specimen for FOTM but sadly only managed a couple of half hearted hits from small flatties. Couldn't raise a strike around the jetty or the rocks. Headed out to the red beacon and dropped a moses perch next to the yak.

Greasy breakfast on the island and back out to fish some of the moored boats. And pulled some more squire on the Damiki Vaults

Keen-as did his best and caught what I identified as a rock cod after a very sluggish fight

I haven't been to Coochie since January, and have never really done any good there, but it was nice for a change of scenery and I caught a few fish to keep it interesting, even if I was raiding the nursery

[Keen-as-fisho]

Very slow day Great day to be out however. Dropped an estimated 700 fish first up before landing the first of nine squire for the day. No size to them probably low 20's, still good fun and definetly beats sitting at home Oh and only one pike :woohoo:

Fishing the nursery again it seem's the only way you can handle fish because the one's we hook in my tinnie are way to big for you to handle :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

and happy birthday for yesterday old boy

who did that bloke tacklbox and girl friend kreel do? :laugh: :laugh:

[kreel]

NEW TITLE: Pussca's a lovely lady but...

It appears that Pussca's mind is drifting a little, allow me to explain the day a I saw it.

The day started as all days out fishing with the beautiful Tacklebox does.

[br]

[kreel]

Miss Pussca was all rugged up in her shawl and what looks like a very comfy winter pair of jimjams. What a dear old thing she is and so game to be out on the water at such an early hour.

[br]

[kreel]

Here is the crew for the day's fishing - Tacklebox in front looking lovely and hard at work tying on a lure, then Keen-as-fisho (KAF) and his trusty ride Ladyboy lastly Pussca try-as-she-might is always somewhere at the back.

[br]

[tomca]

thanks Dassa. I think that kreel chick is hanging her head in shame....no tugger to hold her hand today :laugh: Regarding your tinnie, check your PM's. Not going out undergunned next mission

[kreel]

So on to the fishing, I was actually targeting Snapper for the morning, maybe a flathead if the opportunity arose. But as they say "the best laid plans" - all I could manage for the morning was a despicable pike. I had pedaled half way round the island right to the north east corner and lots of weed but only one fish and a pike at that - breakfast on the island called.

[br]

[kreel]

After a greasy breakfast and the Sunday Mail quizz page (34 out of 40) we were ready to have another crack at it. KAF readied Ladyboy and finished of his durry...

[br]

[kreel]

... while the matronly Pussca stood in the shade and finished her iced coffee. As it turns out they weren't jimjams but a cosy cardigan. I have to comment what a devilishly stylish skirt you have on Pussca. On the other hand why the weird black stockings?

[br]

[kreel]

I'd worked out where I was going wrong with the morning session - if the Snapper aren't biting, change your target species...

... so I chose rocks! ...

[br]

[kreel]

... and weed

[br]

[kreel]

My strike rate was through the roof I was pulling up weed-fish after weed-fish, I did however manage only the one rock-fish. Then just when I thought I had this fishing (or is it weeding) thing sussed - Tacklebox pulls in a Flounder and I could sense things were about to change...

[br]

[kreel]

... all of a sudden I can't catch a single weed. Up comes a small tailor...

[br]

[kreel]

... followed by a small Pinky...

[br]

[kreel]

Tacklebox caught innumerable just undersized pinkies and I caught a couple of fish then a crocodile swam past and scared the guano out of us so we went home...

[br]

[kreel]

... where I photographed those last two fish I caught.

[br]

[kreel]

Where were you Pussca and KAF, We didn't see much of you after breakfast, we thought you wanted to catch a fish not mess around with the guppies!

[br]

[Malcolm]

My first fish for the day

Oh so bitter from such an adorable old bird.

Thanks Malc, yeah silliness aside it was a beautiful day - the water glassed out and the cool of the morning soon burned off with the sun coming up. The fishing was pretty hard all morning and no-one was getting anywhere real quick but the afternoon brought on a short but productive session. The company was pretty good too as always.

You're a woman of obvious style and grace Nickers. Pussca on the other hand is a woman in her sunset years and with a more... relaxed sense of style - it would be ludicrous to suggest that Pussca's more... robust figure could fit into your svelte outfits. I suspect Pussca buys most of her couture from the House of Allt.

[Scope]

Looks like a top session there guys.

[yoyo]

good work guys, sorry i couldnt make it. tomca i tried to reply to your PM but my messenger wouldnt work for whaever reason.....

[Mr FeLiX]

Sounds like a fair adventure there for all involved. Remind me to drop you all a PM when I get my Yak, even if I am seriously out of shape i'll still have a blast and probably laugh myself across the bay

[Joel Eadie]

awesome report guys, funny as

[tomca]

hahahahha!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

House of Allt......I vaguely remember that one. Must search back over old threads now :silly:

Mr Felix. Like we say: if kreel can do it, even a monkey can
