queensland Wellington Point Report First Ever Trip

[Leosonfire]

Well just found my favourite kayak fishing spot! Wello wello wello it is a great spot on a perfect morning, let’s put it this way....I won’t be fishing along Redcliffe any longer.

launched the yak at 530am headed through the markers to the drop off, took a left at albakerky and shortly after I was netting my first squire measuring 29 I squealed like a school boy as this was my first I’ve landed in a yak! I started drifting right along the drop off and was getting hits but no luck until a two foot grinner took the bait. By this time my squid I caught a couple weeks ago had defrosted and I swiftly chopped her up. Fresh is best! I got hammered by something big! Fought for a minute and the snapped on the reef! This time I yelled like a cray Neanderthal! Now I was far right heading towards the mangroves and got smashed again and reefed but this tim managed to get him out only to see another 29 squire foul hooked. For the next hour I kept getting hit the reefed until I got excited but this time I pulled up a 40ish baby shark. Soon after landed another squire at 27 and started paddling back towards the ramp. I had another drop and a flat head measuring 42 was landed. Went quiet at around 1030 so called it a day. Had a great time at wello sand will definitely be going back!!

Hey Leosonfire

Good session. When you said you were going yesterday I tried convincing the old man to come (yes, I get to call my dad that now. Lol), but he didn't want to do the drive over seeing as though it's about an hours drive. 

Nice fish, and looks like some fun was had. Great job!  

Cheers Hamish

Hey Leo

I'm in Sherwood. I just checked on maps and realised that the drive is only about 45 mins, not an hour. I must've misheard my dad (oops). We will have to plan a yak trip together sometime. I'd be happy with even a small squire off the yak  You are mad keen to get up that early and drive.. I was struggling with my start this morning, that's for sure. 

Thanks for that too, I was most surprised when I realised it was a flathead coming up on my lure!

Cheers Hamish

Fun session there Leo. The grassies (grass emperor) should start to become a more common catch around Wello as the water heats up.
