Fishing Articles & Bloggs:

Had Lee Parkhouse ( Leelee ) up for a couple of days fishing - with a longtail tuna at the top of fish bucket list....

We often get a good run of Longtails during winter down the bottom of the straight down towards In-Skip -this year has been no different with some quality fish about at present.

The odd Mac Tuna gets in first as well 

The fish averaged 10+kgs with some in the 15+ kgs range seen working as well

I know I said I was snappered out - But lee made me do it  

Big sea fog rolled in just after dawn which looked really ominous - but prolonged the dawn bite nicely ..

Lee was trialing some new Zman baits - while I stuck with the proven Squidgy wrigglers & flick baits ....

Hooked this animal while fishing around a huge bait school - spooled me to the arbor knot on the first run - Lee's quick action & evasive boat driving keeping my connected !

It ate a Squidgy flick bait in Pacific Pearl on 9 gram 2/0 fish head & 25lb leader  - 20lb Power Pro braid main line. An hour & half later - we struggled to get it in the enviro net !

At a 120cm & 20+kgs -Its was an awesome fish on light gear - Stella 4000 & G.Loomis NRX 852s

We moved in closer after lunch and didn't take long before we found some more bait - and quality snapper... 

I modified a 145mm Squidgy flick bait in yakka to match the mud herring bait that was around - shortening it slightly & trimming the bellow down to make it more slender - but maintaining it's big tail & action

It was a great couple of days in good company - How Good Is Hervey Bay
