Went for a run today

Jason · May 21, 2011

Went out into Moreton for a fish today, played around Mud Island a bit.

Here's a couple of pics of the new baitboard Matt made up for me, came up a treat:

Got a few grassies

And a legal Tusky

Jason · May 21, 2011

All fish went back in, need a fish ID on this, some type of whiting?

Nice fish mate, love fresh grassies on the table, good chewing. That second fish is a pike, normally in schools and can be caught in huge numbers on the right squidgies.

Thanks mate, we thought it was a pike but some species of whiting seemed more plausible! Most of the grassies were just under size

Matt76 · May 21, 2011

Nice catch!

How long did it take to get there?

Jason · May 21, 2011

Probably about 20 minutes mate, used 15 litres of fuel getting there and back. We went to the NW tip, there were a few boats there, a mate at work reckons the NE tip is the go so might try there next, definately going back though, got some good bites. Floated a pilly out the back on the broomstick and it got one massive strike!

The baitboard was unreal, didnt move or vibrate at all. Had all 4 rods in it and was strong as.

Thats great mate.

I am hoping it is fine in the morning and I might go for a quick run there myself. I have got to start stripping out the D40 so it will be a quick run if I get out.

Oh, also realised the boat ramp at Shornecliffe is closed during May for resurfacing.

We went to the next one just up the road on Allpass Parade.
