Just a quick report ....

Was up the sunny coast Wednesday for a meeting, had another one early Thursday which was cancelled at short notice well, that left only 1 thing to do.

Throw the waders on and grab the bream gear. With Ken expecting his family clan to show up anytime, I figured he wasn't going to be able to join me .... BUT surprise surprise the Fishraider-mobil was already parked at the secret spot when I arrived. There was about 2 hours left of the run-out and I met Ken on the ridge for a fish.

He was ready to go home for lunch just as I arrived. A quick chat and the success story thus far, and I knew I had a chance of a few fish. Ken had picked up 3 bream and the tide was into the last stage of the run-out, which is usually the most productive.

Wind was blowing from the SE (as usual) but was mild and not really a problem.

The next 2 hours, right up until slack water, produced 5 breambos of which I kept 3 for dinner. These ended up feeding the girl and me .... mmmmmm Cajun bream! YUM

The fish I kept were 30, 31, 32cms in size and the 2 released weren't much smaller (probably around 28cms). All in all, a very enjoyable and relaxing couple of hours. Got back into Brisbane just in time for the mother of all hail storms and about a foot of hail out the front of my garage!!!

Ahhhhh, QLD .... Beautiful one day .... SHIT the same after noon I tells ya.

Sorry lads ... no pics. Next time

Tight lines,

NOt the SX 40...............

Yes boys ... the Ecogear SX 40 did it again

I like using the one that's bright yellow with tiger-like black stripes across top .... especially in discoloured water and with all the rain we had last week the passage is still a bit dirty. Anyway, worked a treat.

Ummmmm just checked the colour chart ....

Apparently it's the Gold Coast Special ... yet works on the Sunshie Coast just fine!!! That's the 301 in case you go by the numbers.

Cheers,
