Well, I must admit I was getting a giggle out of you're fruitless prior efforts, in much the same way I used to giggle at Frank Spencer, but good to see you broke the duck. One last giggle - had to be a grinner.:laugh:

Good quantity of bait too - maybe that'll see you get towed by a big one next trip:woohoo:

i was using a pretty heavy jig head to get it down fast and stay deep in the current...and on the drop the action in the eyeballs was great..a real nice wiggle down..i reckon they are going to be great snapper sp's....i really liked the whitish ones to...sort of has a pink twinge to it in side..

rocket- yer mate i find pike a good strip bait for flathead and squire..the bribie locals reckon a live pike send back down under the bridge will have ya hooking up to a nice jew or big cod....but i just cut the buggers up:P
