Hot action in Cairns 23/02

[Stephen Polzin]

Well after a lot of umming and arring I hooked the boat on this morning to go and chase some GT's. The wind was light, but the sky looked pretty bad actually.

Fortunately though I dodged the storms and ended up having some awesome action on big GT's. Got about half a doz and then quit 'cause my arms were too sore and there were some nasty looking storms building.

Here's a few pics. Apologies for the quality as I was on my own.

cheers,

steve

Nice work steve! Great effort to do the solo pics! The east coast sure has had a hammering with the weather of late

Whats the deal with the leader in the 3rd pic down?

[Stephen Polzin]

Thanks guys, it was a pretty good day really.  Only fished for about two hours and was stuffed afterwards.  It's a bit tricky flying solo 'cause the fish pull the boat around a bit and if they really want to get to a rock it's hard to stop them without someone driving. 

John, yeah I was watching a few storms nearby.  Managed to stay dry somehow but it was touch and go. 

Warwick, that's just one of my dodgy twisted leaders.  Must put a few more twists in it next time!

cheers,

steve

[Jay Burgess]

G'day Steve, do you know what the bigger fish there weighed? Did you take any measurements?

[Stephen Polzin]

Didn't weigh it Jay, but measured 112cm (total length).  Probably in the 20's at a guess.
