From Phil and Stephen
Hello Roger,
Sorry no pics as forgot the camera.!!
Met Stephen at the boat ramp at 6.20 and launched soon
after. Water smooth and only a light breeze. Tried to get to the point near the
gas plant however not enough water. Went straight across to Weed reef.
After
about an hour got on to the fish. No wind to speak of and smooth water - what
more could you want. Between us we caught Queenfish, Trevally, Spotted rock
cod, Fingermark.
The queenfish were breaking up madly in big numbers and huge
fish - some over a metre and most about 60 - 80 cm mark. Would not actually
take a fly - tried everything from a pink thing to small green clouser, incl red/black, blue/white combo Two about
the 70cm mark actually jumped right over my fly at about 6 feet from the boat.
The queenfish activity stopped when the water was high enough to go the flat
areas of the reef. One over a metre followed the fly to the boat. The queenfish
activity stopped when the water was high enough to go the flat areas of the
reef.
A few barra started showing themselves when the water went over the flat
rocky area, not to mention the rays, sharks and turtles. Saw a few Trevally
getting around on the flats as well. Even at about 2.00 pm when we came back
the water was so smooth that we were up on the plane the entire run.
