Shoalwater - from Chris Harrison

<< < (10/10)

Graham Scott:
Speaking of Shoalwater Bay,
One of our boats was involved in identyfying a wreck in the heart of Shoalwater which is 60m long, rises from 18m to 8m in parts and has a 10m long bowsprit still intact rising to within 5 metres of the surface, heaps of bait, heaps of current, 3 miles from any other reef. Divers report "feeling" big fish in the wreck (2m max vis)....no line or sinkers visible, no anchors, no trawl nets.

Not yet dropped a line on it....Whaddya reckon the chances of a big GT?

I don't think its ever been fished for GT's.(or maybe anything else)

I'll try and visit within the month, as soon as this gale warning goes away.

Aaron Concord:
Graham,

If the water is Pea Soup from the tides, just put on a big blooper & raise them up..........they will be there.
Finding them....good.
Hooking them....good.
Landing with that mutch structure around......B A D!!!!

Graham Scott:
Aaron,

Might need to find some cheap poppers. Got some heru 130's are they big enough? Normally use r2s dumbell 200, although I see some 300gm 300mm dumbells at tackle world!!!The boat is still at Stanage, the boys are planning to go for a surf to Mackay tomorrow  (only 25 to 33) then I might get to bring it back from Mackay to Yeppoon next break in the weather and hopefully fish my way back.  Mind you it could be a while before we get a break.
cheers,
graham

Aaron Concord:
Graham,

The 130 Cubera's will wake em up no worries.
Even in dirty water, GT's are acutely aware of anything near them.
Bloop loudly and hang on tight :)

Aaron.
PS....you can always ask a mate to 'tease them up' with the 300mm R2S Dumbell!
