queensland Couple Of Fish From Last Week (videos Added)

[jon]

 Managed to get out a couple of times last week with the hopes of entering a few fish in the comp. we fished pretty hard using every technique from cathedrals to the cape. Sadly not the best results but it was still an enjoyable week. I mangaged to take third place in the jewies. And my mates got first and third in the squid.  We managed to get an eight kilo snapper which on any other week youd be pretty stoked about but we were up against some pretty gun fishos,  it just missed out on third with the first place fish going 9.2kg. We all took home a prize anyhow  and hopefully next year we can have a better crack

Well done mate. I see the plastics seem to be doing the most damage.

Wow!! I would love to be in a position to be disappointed with that sort of week. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah I’ve really started to give them a proper go these days. They seem to be pretty effective on brining out some of the bigger snapper

Nah definitely not disappointed. Had good week on the water with some mates.

That is awesome. Congratulations on all the fish. I am heading offshore on Thursday. Any tips on where is fishing well? 

What did those Spanish take? 

Also I have some German friends coming with me. Did you have much trouble with sharks? They would love to see one. 

[jon]

Sharks haven’t been an issue, but if you Berly hard and fish some big baits I’m sure you’ll mange bring some around, much to the disgust of any other boats in the vicinity . I’d suggest hitting up Caloundra wide, Barwon banks or tempest as they have all been fishing well, Spanish have been caught on surface lures but plenty of people been catching them on live baits

Take them to see some whales there every where at the moment

Some great fish in there! Good to see plastics doing the job too, really seems to be a whole new breed of fishing.

Some cracking fish there Sef, thanks for posting. Quality Spanish and snaps. Is that a bream in the bottom left corner? Funny some of the snapper have a more bronze colour whereas the others are pink.

[jon]

Yeah that’s a bream, dunno who threw that in the box lol. Yeah the snaps seem to look different depending on the area they were caught eg sand or reefs or water depths

[Luvit]

What a wide variety of fish, with some biguns nice.

I would like to study this phenomena more closely and then write a thesis on it. If you could kindly PM me your GPS marks so I can gather specimens (which I promise I won't eat ......... ) it would help my, uhummmmmm, research project greatly ........  

On a serious note both of these explanations make perfect sense.

Its a solid bream mate but with all that quality there... I probably would have put it in the eski too

Actually now I think of it it would have been kept to enter in the comp, but would have fell short and been Somones dinner instead

Me too! I am right in the middle of a PHD and those marks might just help me pass

Wow you arn't wrong! Crazy how many were out there. I wish the fish were as plentiful as the whales. 

[Old Scaley]
