queensland A few days at 1770...

[Boydy]

Hey guys.

Dont report much but here goes.

Headed up to 1770 with a few mates including hooked on tackle from AFO.

PLan was to head offshore, hit the estuaries and relax and have fun.

Ended up with a couple of trip offshore for a very mixed bag of fish and some good feeds. Best part about the trip was really sussing out the capacity of my boat which has seen plenty of offshore moreton and mooloolaba action but not really out of site of land.

Spending the weekend with Angus and Tanya at straddy this weekend so there should be more reports coming.

Thanks.

Boydy.

Hooked on tackle with a trout.

Some sort of trigger/leatherjacket...

[Boydy]

Chinaman. Cant eat them but what a cool looking fish.

[Boydy]

Little red.

A bit of a troll here and there produced plenty of mack tuna.

There were actually plenty more fish caught, but I am not in the habit of taking pictures of every fish caught yet. A half dozen legal reds, that coral trout and some other random reefies meant we ate well. A lot of large grunter bream in shallower water as well.

[Angus]

Nice one mate.

The weather is looking good for that possible Sunday kayak!

The Chinaman fish, what is the reason you cannot eat them, toxin?

My aunty once ate a fish up that way and she got sick many years ago, now she cannot eat fish at all.

cheers

I could be wrong but i think they are known to carry ciguatera.. which isnt too good for us!

hey is it worth me dragging my boat up there in december?? I'm heading up to 1770/agnes water for a week with my mates and I'm not sure if its worth dragging my boat up there...

Good report Boydy. I'm sure there will be more pics from your trip with Angus... he takes more pics than an international tourist

Pretty sure Tomca took his up earlier this year or last.

Sounds like it was a top weekend, Boydy. Picked up a smaller version of one of those chinaman fish near Peel one morning. They're certainly pretty.

Nice report boydy and good to see hayden getting onto them aswell it's 1 of my fave spots on the qld coast I heading up there at the end of the month with the miss and kids.How far of the coast did you venture?

cheers dassa

[Cliffy]

Definitely take your boat Do$tylz - there's a good ramp just around the corner from the camping ground, and it's a perfect location for all sorts of fishing (estuary, reef, etc) and other boating activities.

[tomca]

Always a good mixed bag up there.

Def worth taking the boat Henry, just leave the bream gear at home, the jacks don't play nice.

[Keen-as-fisho]

Sounds like a great trip and some good fish caught
