queensland Bribie Ocean side 13-07-07

[pcsolutionman]

decided to hit bribie again yesterday (friday) with Nodds, He picked me up at my place at 6:30 and we arrived at 8th ave to a beautiful morning, although the swell was up a bit and there was almost a meter surf. We unpacked the car and trolleyed the yaks down to the water. Nodds was the first to attempt the launch as I waited for a good break. He got hit by a wave before he managed to get onto his yak and was soaked he jumped on and got out through the next wave. I then spotted a nice break and jumped on and paddled out through the break staying almost completely dry

We headed straight for our spot where there were a couple of boats anchored up on the eastern side of the beacon, you beauty I thought I wanted to fish the western side anyhow. got out there paddled past the beacon and set up a drift. and noticed a boat with AFO Stickers on it I introduced myself and met MasterSardines who was yet to boat a fish.

I had a 4\" gulp in pearl on my lighter 6lb outfit with a lighter 1/12th head and a 5\" nuclear chicken on my heavier outfit with a 1/6th head. about 20M into the drift I was on, on both rods and they seemed like good fish but unfortunately I dropped both fish . but what a great start. a few drift later and I was onto another double hookup got one in handed the rod to nodds and started fighting the second fish at which point he spat the hooks. the fish was undersized and was sent on his way. Mastersardines then hooked up onto a nice fish

it wasnt long after that I bagged my first keeper and he went quite hard on the smaller 6lb outfit. he measured 36cm

Next fish I landed was a bit bigger at 41cm and spat the lure after boating him

At this point nodds hooked up to what looked to be a monster of a fish and was peeling drag at will on the 20lb braid he had on. after a few minutes he got a snapper along side the boat that looked to be in the mid 60cm range and then it spat the hook. as you can imagine he was not a happy boy and let all of moreton bay know about it lol

I then had yet another double hookup which resulted in one bite off and a nice squire on the 6lb that went 44cm and pulled real hard

It was then time for a turn in nodds's luck boating a nice squire of 44cm

[pcsolutionman]

he was absolutely stoked but was still going on about the one that got away

I then chipped in with the next fish that was a bit of a lucky catch as he got me on the reef and really worked my leader over but at 47cm was a real solid fish

It then went quite for a while and just when I thought our fishing day was done I got hit by a freight train and was getting pulled around all over the place and drag getting peeled off my reel.

after what seemed like for ever I finally saw colour and it was a reel nice fish I dragged him along side the boat and got the lip grippers in his mouth.

The wind was starting to blow a bit so we thought we would head in and have an explore of ningi creek which was good fun.

Unfortunatley mastersardines left before the action really hotted up, he left after my second keeper. great to meet you though man

Total for the day

I got 5 keepers 36cm,41cm,44cm,47cm,56.5cm

[Fisher_90]

All i can say is wow.

PS. Western Bulldogs are shit. Lol

[Dazzamcgee]

nice work guys!! some great fish!!

Just a question but Do U guy's ever hear the Jaws music playing in the back ground?? or do U just have a little panic attack and keep looking over your shoulder for that huge fin cruising just behind ya yak??

[pcsolutionman]

I dont support the Bulldogs just an old cap I had. Dazza to be honest sharks dont worry me in the least, the idiots on the road on the way to do the fishing is what you need to worry about.

Great trip mate, they are some awesome fish. Real nice colour and I bet they were great fun in the yak. I will have to take my yak out there sometime and go for some squire.
