queensland Kids Rock The Palmy

[tugger]

Took my son and daughter out on the Palm Beach Reef this morning and they brought a friend along. Well the bar was completely flat and so was offshore so we pinged it out to the reef 2 minutes from the creek mouth we dropped the anchor.

 

The plan was to get my son's friend Adam and my daughter Brooke on to some pelagics. The fish come on early and both kids had both their 1st spotties ever in the boat.

 

The fishing was steady and we boated another 2 spotties saw a marlin landed right behind us and plenty of big tuna bust ups. The surface was boiling everywhere we caught plenty of mack tuna on slugs then a good fish grabbed another floating bait. Adam was next on the rod and after a good fight up came a cobia.

 

4 livies were hit out the back but we could not connect and about 9am we headed back over the flat bar. Back at the camp we took some more photos and filleted the fish while i filled up on cool drinks.

Brooke doesn't get offshore with me much she gets seasick so it has to be flat and we picked a good day this time.

Well done tugger. It was bit quieter out there today than earlier this week, may have been all the boats!

Bar crossing with the king tide this morning was effortless. 

May even go back in the morning!

All the boats don't matter at all with mackerel i have seen 200 boats there and the fishing was insane.  There was a lot of rain here last night so the water was green i had mates go out this morning and gave me a report of cooler green water . This won't take long to clear away i think Saturday looks good so far .

It's great to see Brooke get out and catch some fish.

Shame she cannot get out more often.
