Gold Coast Bash Not Much Luck Again

[shefford]

Hit the local few spots and lost all our jigs to barracudas biting @ the swivels and through the line.

Couldn't get a livie so went out to our spotty mack reef as heard they were on the bite, but got nothing decent and nothing much happening.

Mate bought 7inch pearl white jerk shade, and was messing around with it on the 22's and it got nailed... 3/4 of it was bitten off and just the top half of the shade was left with the jighead

Tried another spot a bit futher out to sea for the first time and got a few bigger things.

Shovel nose shark 80cm+ (are they good to eat?) heard z lemon fish were ok

Small goat fish

50cm cod

few small squire

Decided to head out even futher and got nothing but a few nibbles, encountered another whale and a dolphin!

And that was that 4 hrs fishing and 2 keepers, 50cm cod and a just legal snapper.

Should of probably gone out to 36's but didn't fill up with enough petrol

O well better luck next time

Sounds like you're doing it tough at the moment. It'll come together soon. I went out this morning on a charter and we got as far as North Head before turning back... the seas offshore were woeful according to a couple of boats who were already out there and the wave rider buoy was measuring seas to 5.2m. Its a bit of a sad and sorry winter all round so far.
