We are on our 3rd trip of the season now, and after getting the
marlin bites but not converting for the first week, we are back in
the Groove.
We had the boys from Melbourne up, who enjoyed some great light
tackle fishing, and we had some bites on the big rods but didnt stay
on. A great few days and the boys are excited about the trip to WA
in 2011.
Last few days we had some of my Gold Coast club members who used
their free day on Tradition from the Club tournament auction
(proceeds to Camp Quality) and fished with us for 4 days in full.
Jack fought a decent fish for about 20 minutes before the hook
pulled, and we raised fish each day and had some bites but couldnt
get the job done!!!.
On the other hand the light tackle fishing continued to be good and
the spearing was exceptional.
Saturday we started with Peter and Lydie, their 5th trip on
TRADITION with flat seas and light winds. We ran to the top of No:7
Ribbon Reef and myself, Chris and Brett proceeded to put a hurting
on the trout!!!! We each got one or two really good ones and off we
wnet for the next big challenge. After Lydies exceptional effort in
last years Lizard Island comp, she is back again , but this time we
are fishing 50lb line for the womens record, a big challenge, but
possible- needing 880 or better.
First day we had 2 bites and broke line after an hour on one about
500 lbs, got her about 50 feet from the boat a couple of times, but
then she just dumped us straight down and popped the line after an
hour.
Yesterday we had 5 bites or might have been 6, cant remember, and
pulled a couple off, but managed after a feisty fight to tag a nice
400 lb fish on 50. A great effort and all the time learing more
about the limits of what we can do.
Fishing up and down the Reef has been inporoving each day, and many
big fish from 650 to 900 have been seen and tagged the last few
days.
