Cooktown
The last day with the boys from Moscow was spent fishing No:3 Ribbon
and again we got the bites, jumping off a 600 and tagging a fun one
about 250lbs.
John and Doc from Florida, joined us for 5 days, and were met with
just crap weather for November, it blew 20+ everyday, and the first
day just rained hard, nonstop - not the nicest day I have spent in
the tower !!!
On No:10 we raised 2, had one bite but didn't get it too the boat,
and with a big evening high tide, I elected to head to Lizard for a
nice night in the lee of the Island. A good decision according to
those who anchored out at No Name Reef.Next morning the rain was
gone, and a great bait fishing session on the way out filled the
freezers up again and we fished down to the Marks and back to Second
corner for the day, and got the bite that the boys came here for.
A really nice big fish that went hard, and the Tradition, harder!!!!
The boat stayed right with her and she was on the leader and let go
in under 10 minutes!!!, Chris got some great big jumps on the leader
and the video cameras worked hard to see thru the waves and spray
rolling into the cockpit.
The boys were ecstatic, and made the long trip worth the while for
them. A really nice big fish, 950+ and super thick.
Back to Lizard for the night and a few drinks and a great dinner of
fresh coral trout and salad. The next few days slowed right up along
the whole reef, and managed to see a few more but none made it too
the boat, A fish of a lifetime for Doc, and well worth the effort of
coming this far.
The majority of the fleet are back down at Linden Bank, and there
have been a few big fish each day for the fleet of nearly 15-20
boats still out down there. A lot of boats are finishing up this
week, and the fish are still coming in in numbers and we are now
into the nice weather that November is famous for, 10 knots and lots
of sun with BIG fish around. Out wide the big fish are also around
with the tuna aggregation, so November and into December is looking
awesome!!!
Up on No: 10, the few boats fishing are seeing big fish everyday,
and the choice to go north or south tomorrow will be tough!!!
At least up north we can catch bait and go for a spear, so may do
that for a few days and then head south on our 10 day charter with
Greg, who is back for another trip looking for a beast!!!!
With another late season bite from big fish like last year, we can
still fit you in for that big fish you are looking for:
Nov 29 - Dec 4 Cairns Heavy tackle with choice of motherships or
liveaboard
Dec 7 - Dec 12 Cairns to Mackay heavy tackle via Myrmidon reef with
choice of motherships or liveaboard
Dec 14 - Dec 23 Mackay to Gold Coast - head to Swains for a night,
then out to Suamarez Reef for a night or two, then out to Wreck Reef
and Cato Reefs if the weather is good, 10 day trip, fishing for big
blues and blacks, jigging and poppers for GT's, Wahoo, Coral Trout
etc. limited to 4 places
Or out to Lady Musgrave and Fraser Island for blues, last weeks
tournament saw the winning boat go 7 from 10 up to 800 lbs in 2.5
days!!!
