Reef Trip - FAIL
Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 2013-08-09 14:40
Well there are very few instances where a reef trip has letme down. It is usually THE place to go and THE place where the fishing is redhot... However, this was definitely not the case this time around.
The sea was rough, extremely choppy and the winds were absolutely howling. It was a classic case of wind against tide all day andanchoring on the mark was virtually impossible. Drifting was terribly difficult also.
It was a really hard days fishing in very sloppy conditions. All we ended up with was 4 or 5 Hussar/Stripeys and 1 large Grass Sweetlip.

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

definitely not calm boys the
definitely not calm boys the photos were taken just out from the boat ramp, and the pic where the sweetlip was caught, the photos do not show a true testament of how rough it was. It got worse later in the day as well and those pics wre taken in the morning, so no, definitely not calm and black gen - we do call them Grass Sweetlip here in Qld mate
