Reef Trip - FAIL

[lukesfishinmission]

Well there are very few instances where a reef trip has letme down. It is usually THE place to go and THE place where the fishing is redhot... However, this was definitely not the case this time around.

The sea was rough, extremely choppy and the winds were absolutely howling. It was a classic case of wind against tide all day andanchoring on the mark was virtually impossible. Drifting was terribly difficult also.

It was a really hard days fishing in very sloppy conditions.All we ended up with was 4 or 5 Hussar/Stripeys and 1 large Grass Sweetlip. For the full report, please visit my blog - http://www.lukesfishinmission.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Was good to be out there Davo but disappointing it didn't perform to its usual potential

What's your secret Luke? How do you fund all this fishing? Did you win Tatt's? Your certainly living the dream.

Nice Spangled mate (not a grassy) That's fishing for you!!

Not that much of a fail if you ask me, most of the members here would be pretty satisfied with those fish.
Thanks for sharing :thumbsup:

Certainly living the dream there Lukey! And in Sydney a fishing haul like that would never be considered a fail! Nice one and as always looking forward to reading the next one

NoBanana's - It most definitely is not a spangled emperor. They are totally different mate. It is a Grassy Sweetlip.
My life is immersed in fishing well and truly enough to know the difference but thanks
