G'day yakkers
More detailed report following (when I get time) but I got four snapper today, all on 4 inch power bait soft plastics (1/8oz jighead) and all in the shallower water (8-15m). Jaro doughnut, Madcow 1 snapper plus a few bustoffs/escapees.
Fantastic conditions out there, water surprisingly clear, pretty good launch. See you tomorrow, Harry, Jim, Steve and anyone else interested. Presume 0700 launch?

Hi guys
Very busy today, after getting back home at 1300, so can't spend any more time on this report today. Hope you enjoy it -- it was a great day for me.
Firstly here's a video of the event:
0657 hrs -- Madcow launches first
0806hrs. My second cast picks up a nice one.
0929hrs -- another
0948hrs - and another (slightly blemished)
1004 hrs (still from video). Madcow gets one into the yak at last, having lost a few earlier.
1016 hrs, a beautiful slamming hookup is witnessed by madcow and Jaro, who gives chase with the camera as I get towed away.
Above, pics by Jaro -- thanks mate.
1021hrs. My best for the day -- 57cm snapper
1100 hrs, we all leave for the beach...
We were ready to run through the surf zone shortly before 12 noon. Brian (madcow), went through first and nearly got caught out during his run, but turned through 180° to meet an oncoming breaker head on, and succeeded. I was watching from out the back and saw the breaker rear up and thought "Brian's a goner!" but was amazed to see the bow of his yak punch through the wave just as it broke. My run was easy but Jaro's...
1205 hrs (still from video). Is Jaro in deep doodoo? Incredibly he came through unscathed.
My take home catch, each fish individually tethered.
My best, 57cm
We're doing it all again tomorrow -- this time with six Noosa yakkers, incl the three from today.
