Cape Moreton and nearby

#1

Post by peterbo3 »

Hi all,
Quick trip out the front yesterday with the forecast 5-10 knots on a 2 metre swell. Not quite right. :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: But we battled on & caught a few but the camera batteries decided to have a little sleep. :cry: :cry: . I was able to salvage a few.

Cape Moreton on the Northern tip of Moreton Island which is some 15 miles East of Brisbane. We were fishing in 300 feet from where the pic was taken. A few more miles out & it drops away to 1000 feet.

Charter boat (alloy of course ) :D :D on the same drift line as us. Check out the guy on the port side of the cabin. He was really pumping some out.
We waved & offered him a chicken sandwich but it started him off again. :wink: :wink: :wink:

This is John working hard, note the TWO cans of beer :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

This is John REALLY working hard. 100 metres of 12mm rope with 6 metres of shortlink 10mm chain attached to the pick. Cheaper than a winch & chips in for the fuel. :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

This me. Well, it could be anyone really but I think it is a good likeness. As for the rest of the photos, they are out there somewhere heading away from us at the speed of light.

:roll: :roll: :roll:

That's a serious drop off so close to shore Pete!

Most of my fishing is done off Mandurah here in W.A. and I have to travel about 20 miles to get into 50 metres!

What did you catch for the day?
Cheers

Hi Brendan,
We won't discuss that :cry: :cry: :cry: :oops: :oops: :oops: but I will say that there are lots of snapper still swimming around. Some cod were caught but they were not our target.

If you can grab a look at a Navionics card, check out where the shelf is East of Brisbane. Not far to go at all.
Regards,

Pete in Brisbane

Great post peterbo3. Sorry to here about the camera :( . That is one hell of a drop off. I limit myself to 400 ft for bottom fishing (I can't stand the time wasted checking bait). I was out last friday in about the same conditions and will post pic's soon. Thanks for sharing.
