SEt out this morn for a fish in jb
put in at Murrays beach , tryed for squid no good
fished outsid bowen is as wind was NW and quiet strong.
A feww smaller Snapper put back, allong with sargent baker
red rockies , wrass and cod all reterned
moved back inside about 1030am to try for flatties only 1 caught by the mrs spude
45 cm moved to middle ground plenty lots of small bait fish with bigger yellow tail chaseing
and biggish seals all around
Ended up catching a few scnapper and bream

For The life of me couldn't figure out how a pair of potato's were able to ketch fishy's

Then i saw the cap on that melon of yours it explained evlly ting

Was a great day out on JB.. dont get much better, heaps of fish inthe boat and heaps more thrown back.. Mrs spud caught 7 differant species of fish, her first time in the Bay.

Oh and Jumpy, Somthing happened to my favourite 6kg snapper stick, its about 1ft shorter now? You know the rod I mean?? Know where I might find another similar one?? Do Lox do any 6kg overhead rods??

Get sum Superglue

the tip is sitting on the floor of JB....

Couldn't you just put a new tip on it Rumpus?

The tip came off Seafairy's rod last time out but we still have the tip, I'm going to glue it back on & wrap some twine around it then paint it to keep it all together.

Rumpus had tears in his eyes with my snapper and his broken rod

if its to deep to dive for just pinch one of the wife's broom handles

Paul

Might have to get another uglystik.... they dont break!

Yeah right fed

Dont know who's worse that oiya spudacus snapus rodus bloodus hopeluss
or that gumbally seafarus

My vote goes to oiya spudacus snapus rodus bloodus hopeluss
He snaped his tip whereas gumbally seafarus tried winding her sinker through her tip [with a p not a t ]

Snapped about a foot or more down from the tip, fighting a bigger snapper than pez's... then it bit through the line and the tip dissapeared into the deep blue... recon it was a fault from the manufacturer....

Yeah Yeah Yeah oiya spudacus snapus rodus bloodus hopeluss

We all believe ewe dont we guys

there are a lot of rods that claim to be better than the old uglystiks, but will they last as long???
As for my self i like the pacific composite blanks I don't really like the supper lite rods they seem to fragile, one bump and and they will break

I have been asked how close tto marine park are we fishing when
fishing the middle ground?
Without going to a gps or a map I would say I would have to be at least 2klms from nearest
marine park boundary. We are a lot closer when we fish outside bowen.island, there is a thin
strip of marine park just outside running from mainland to island/.
The closest to middle ground is just inside longnose point.
Im not very good with computers but Chad or Jumpy might be
able to post a map showing middle ground.

Well ill prob get told im wrong as usual.... but this is what id call middle ground, in the pic you can see 2 areas where there are distinctive reefs, and are easily picked up on a sounder as the depth changes drastically... bout 10m rise in the floor from around 30m to 20m...

Looking at the Marine park map JB MARINE PARK MAP id say pezzz is pretty close winth 2km..

Nowhere near any marine zones if you're fishing the middle grounds

Seems you pair of potato's weren't the only ones hu caught wittle fishy's down there.

Just outside plantation pt zone sum stompa reds were lost & gotten on SP's

Thanks Chaddo
