Fishing

Nice. did they pay for the fuel bill? I've been looking at those fishing Seadoo jetskis lately... be nice and cheap on the fuel.

These snapper weighed atound 15kgs+ in total.. I've gone back to a 21 foot trailer boat with a single 225 hp outboard. Used about 70 litres for the full day, as we also travelled another 25kms south and back again, throughout the day looking for fish. Jet ski will be fine for some near/off shore fishing. But wouldn't have the range to fish the grounds we were looking over that day. But around Bris coastline the inshore fishing should be red hot anyway. If you get out of bed early enough to throw a line you're a chance of even better fish up there

Hooked up on a huge Kingy doing exactly that in the Seaway (minus the sounder). Took me 15 minutes to land the bastard, and dragged us the length of the Seaway during the process. From memory, I think he was just under a metre long.

One I got on the weekend fishing the comp. Was holding 3rd for a bit then a couple got weighed in one @ 799 and one at 815. A couple big Jews weighed I over 1200 a 930 snapper and a 815 tusk fish. I ended up winning a rod and a new marine battery in the lucky draws though.

Nice flatty, biggest one that family member landed was 97cm, was a horse of a fish...

My PB bream was 47cm, hooked up on some oyster beds, cunt of a spot heaps of snags and the good size fish bust you off as soon as you hook them. Locked up the drag up and skull dragged this bream over the rocks and ended up bending the shaft in the reel (cheap Shimano 1000 combo) but was worth it, no way I was gonna let that fish dart back into the rocks and snap me off .. good times.

Re jetski: Ive been thinkin about that for awhile.. guys do pretty well on them here on the Goldy especially on the mackeral mulloway and snapper, easy 1 man launching and retrieving, low fuel bills and rego either that or a Stealth fishing kayak launching off the beach rods and gear stored inside the fish hatch
