Chrissy roundup
Managed a couple of trips around Chrissy, one a little before and one on Boxing day up North plus a third day trip out from Cairns. The day trip was great fun with several Mack and Stiped Tuna landed plus some awesome GT action on the poppers. We got a feed of trout and a Spanish Mackerel along with 2 small sweetlip.
As for the Daintree trips, both were short in close off shore trips to get the missus back into the fishing groove and she did it big time. She caught three fish of note, all big Large Mouth Nannygai (Saddletail Snapper). The smallest was just over 83 cm and 8.5 kilo and the other two went 90cm and 9.5 kilo. The boxing day trip produced 13 fish in all with 6 Largies with the smallest being 5.5 kilo. I also got a nice Emperor in amongst them so was a good trip to go with the earlier one. I'll try and get some footage up on youtube next week.
In late November we also had a quick trip and hit a patch of Nannies. The biggest Nannygai in the boat pic of the fish pile was a little over 10 kilos.
Also had a play in the Daintree a couple of days ago and landed around 30 fish. All were small apart from a 68 cm Barra that was released after a quick snap.
A pity the weather has turned bad as a Fingermark trip would be sweet.
Forgive the couple of black and white shots as I left the camera in Black and white arty Christmas mode from the day earlier before I realised.
