Peter Boukaseff Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) Headed out with a couple of mates to west reef yesterday, and scored a couple of nice bonito both around the 70cm mark, taking our kingie baits. Ended up with 2 bonito and 1 legal king 68cm + heaps of rats. What suprised us was the amount of reddies around the 40cm mark. The reddies were all caught on pilchard pieces, whilst the bonito and kings all took favour to our selection of live & butterflied slimies. A great day had. Also Raiders, I have organised 7 day charter to Swains Reef in March 2015. A few guys have pulled out so I have availability for four more to join our group of seven. PM me if you are interested. A group of four would take priority. Cheers Edited December 21, 2014 by Sketo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locodave Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I read it too quickly. For some reason I thought Swaines reef was near West reed, that's why I was confused! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Boukaseff Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 Jewfish, Swains is 200km offshore fom Yepoon and part of the Southern Great Barrier Reef. This will be my second trip and like Dave, March cant come soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Boukaseff Posted December 19, 2014 Author Share Posted December 19, 2014 Benums I have already been reprimanded for naming the charter. No, it is a different charter that leaves port from Yepoon. PM me if your interested in knowing the operator. Very brave Dave. I consider myself lucky enough to go every second year.

Why not ask these businesses to contact us and become a sponsor so they can advertise all day about how good their businesses are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Boukaseff Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 Mate, there are four or five spots available. We dont want to overcrowd the boat. I have had interest from other Raiders but no one has confirmed yet. First to reply with a group will be at Swains in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Boukaseff Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 Cost of the trip is $2555 for 11. You are almost guarenteed to bring back $1000 worth in fillets. I need to confirm the booking so, reply ASAP. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
