southern moreton bay islands

[fishkiller]

dawn saw me on the water during a lull in the s/e winds,get in some much needed practise.prawns are still in plague numbers around the islands,so not expecting too much action with so much tucker around,started at the top of macleay is. in 12 m of water with only yabbies,put back 2x 30cm plus snapper in 1st 1/2 hour ,then zero for next hour so up pick and go find some livies, fish along garden is.,1st whiting out hooked at dorsal fin ,taken without hookup in 10 minutes,2nd one nose hooked,swam for 1/2 hour then balloon took off fast,let it go 10 m,struck and got back whiting torn off behind pectoral fins."some days,eh",settled for a small feed,put back 4 bream,2 whiting and a sole that were all a little short on the ruler,not much in it though.missed a lot of whiting,think that i fish with my drag a bit light (pay's to around here as you don't know what is going to hit)and the hook is not tearing out of the yabbies with the way they clamp down, i strike the bite,the rod loads up,i think i'm on and they are gone, still i'm learning all the time.scattered pawns up the ramp when i returned home.
