queensland 1770 Open

[Brian D]

With the river flooding again or still whichever way you look at it I thought I would pop out to the ocean for a change. Went out with three others from the fishing club, heading for a change in colour from brown to blue. We first came across a school of yellow fin tuna of which we took 5 then decided that was enough so we left them biting.

I caught heaps of assorted fish so here;s a couple of pics, most the time I was to busy getting teh rod back in teh water to stop for photos

just wondering what island is in the back ground???

[Scope]

Nice session there mate! Would love to get on to some tuna!

nice assortment of reefies and tuna!!

[zan0_15]

great haul there brian....what did u get the tuna on?

[Brian D]

The Island is the one next to Lady Musgrave, don't remember the name, and it was just a day trip. Let the berth at about 6.20 and got back bout 5-30 cause we needed to tow a boat that ran out of fuel.

The weather was OK, much better at sea then on land. We spent the most part of the day looking back at the main land while it was getting flogged with rain and wind. I got back to black out and local flooding.

Sorry to say my coral trout was too small but the boat landed 2 about 65cm, huge they were. I think the role card went something like, trout, reds, red throat, pike bream, yellow fin, mac tuna, trevs, cod (about 5 varieties), grassies, lemon shark, parrots and others.

I was tempted to take a bite of the tuna but the ham sandwiches won me over.
