Sunshine Beach, 17Jan13

TR by Doctor Dog
Wind:light ESE
Swell: half metre
Current: not detected 
Launch point: Middle Groyne Noosa Main Beach
Participants: Doctor Dog,  Damo (DoctorDog's visiting brother) Kahuna, Brian (friend of Kahuna)



We arrived at MG a little before 5am and found Brian a friend of Kahuna's on the beach ready to launch for a non fishing paddle. We were informed Kahuna was already on the water headed towards HR but did not see him nor could I raise him on CH9.




Damien and I prepared to launch in what appeared to be benign conditions



We trolled all the way round to Sunshine beach with no action to report except for a strike and brief hook up at Lion Rock where some large fast fish took a liking to my trolled pilchard offering. There was a crashing take with ratchet screaming and much surface splashing as the fish jumped behind me and then took off in short blistering runs some of which came straight back at me leaving the line going momentarily slack. This took the pressure off and the fish dislodged my hooks. We returned to to a very peaceful and apparently fishes Laguna Bay and made a successful dry return to the beach at MG. Kahuna was there on our return. He saw more surface activity towards Halls with Mac Tuna and Longtails busting up and leaving the water but none could be induced to take his lures.
