Whalerider and I arrived at MG car park at first light 5.45am to find Eyetg's car plus one other already loaded and gone. Dry Bum launch onto a pond and placed a call to Eyetag who was already on Halls Reef. Rigged up we headed to LHR.
Wasn't too far before we could see bird activity in closer to shore so we intersected with Eyetag who was on his way back from Halls. Shortly afterwards Eyetag announced he was on, see Longtail photo below.
We then proceeded to do a loop north along the shore line and out to LHR then South and back again. This didn't produce any more catches but I did have one hit on my paddle South but no hook up.
It was at about this time we spotted another paddler in a Hobie following us back. Paul was up from Coolongatta and having read our blog decided to fish Halls with waypoints provided by the Noosa Yakkers blog. He was also successful as per photo below, Whalerider and Eyetag in the background.
The other points of interest during the morning included a few pods of dolphins in close to the launch point and also on LHR plus Eyetag's sighting of a pilot whale in close to shore south west of the centre of LHR. His estimation was about 8 to 10 metres in length.
All safely landed without incident.

Fantastic morning on the water, but no Sashimi today for Whalerider and myself !
Thanks for the paddle guys.
Good to meet you Paul, hope to see you again in Laguna Bay.
