    Bloodworms are hard to beat when targeting whiting. As a kid Digging bloodworms in the passage always resulted in us having whiting for dinner! 
    My son & I picked these ones up on yabbies in the passage yesterday along with plenty of bream that went back in the water.

    Hopefully the weather and work let me get out and take a look over the next few weeks.
    Also promised to take my 5yo boy squid fishing on the school holidays. A feed of squid and Tailor would go down nicely 🙂

    Went out yesterday with Robbie (drop bear) and a friend of his from Germany. We headed out early and crossed south passage bar at 1st light then stopped at the bait grounds. Then once enough live bait was collected we anchored up off point lookout nth stradie.
    Conditions were a bit lumpy but smoothed off a bit behind the rock in and around the whirlpools made by the current. The snapper were patchy at 1st but got thicker as we got closer to the top of the tide. Then a shark took a liking to our live bait and Stefan played with this beast for 15 minutes or so before breaking him off.
    The next live bait didn't last long before a Spanish mackerel made the reel scream but again the fish won its freedom. The 3rd slimie mackerel again was out for only a couple of minutes before another Spanaird took off.
    Stefan was a bit seasick but it was not stopping him from fighting this fish. After a few blistering runs the mackerel doggedly went deep and used it's mass to slow the fisherman. Soon colour could be seen down deep and I called it for a Spanaird. Once I sunk the gaff and lifted it aboard Stefan high fives us both and I even got a cuddle from a very happy German.

    The snapper kept coming in just pan size from 38cm to 45cm with lots of little fish in between. Then at the top of the tide we caught a couple of snapper over 50cm to finish off the bag. 
    The weather was getting betting through the morning so we got a great trip home. The run around peel island and over to Cleveland was like glass then a few beers went down while we cleaned the fish to top the day off. Thanks for crewing Robbie and I bet your friend will have a good fishing story to take back home.

    Hi,
    Hope a few forum members are taking advantage of the weather this weekend.
    Put the boat in yesterday arvo till after dark, fished around Redcliffe/ Scarborough in the hope of getting a few tailor.
    Caught some legal bream and plenty of undersized fish. At least this kept the young bloke entertained 🙂
    Anyone has any luck catching tailor yet around northern Moreton Bay?

    After some negotiation with the owner of Gobblers Lures, my wife and I have purchased the small business.
    We will be taking it over in early July and manufacturing from home. (Just in time for me to make a few lures for the Kimberly trip coming up in end of July). 🙂
    It will take a few months to find our feet and then hopefully we can start making some small changes to improve the Gobbler experience.
    Predominantly my Julie will be manufacturing the lures while I be doing marketing, development etc.
    I'm sure there will a special for AFO members when we are sorted.😉
    This is why I have been quite on the forum for a little while.
