The photo on the right basically shows the calm before the storm. Michael Gregg from Sunshine Beach and his good buddy Ben Nothling were fishing 'The Muds' (40 miles out) early on Tuesday morning when they got on to a school of 4kg+ Snapper. The guys quickly bagged out and left them biting, getting home just ahead of the weather change. Michael was armed with a Wilson Live Fibre rod and a Shimano Baitrunner 6500 reel loaded with 20lb line and 80lb trace. The rest of the morning's catch was Amberjack, Parrot Fish and Red Emperor. Snapper Out-Wide

We had the crew from Surfing The Menu on the water with us last Thursday and looking at the photos below it's hard to imagine that it was blowing a 20 to 25 knot South South Easter with a 2.5m+ swell and seas further out in Laguna Bay.
Curtis and Billybob
These pix were taken just out from the Boiling Pot (in the shelter of the National Park hills) while filming a segment for this very popular TV show. Fishing Noosa webmaster Bill 'Billybob' Watson and Davo's proprietor Cheryl 'Chezza' Lacey took the two larrikin Aussie chefs Curtis (above) and Ben (below) out on a couple of Perception Synchro 'Angler' fishing kayaks to give them an 'at one with nature' view of the coves and points and, of course, to hopefully catch a few fish.
Ben and Chezza
During the morning shoot they managed to get the guys onto a juvenile Spotty Mackerel each before heading out to deeper water to troll for Snapper. The later session, unfortunately, was cut short due to rough seas and strong winds but it was a lot of fun just the same. The show will go to air later this year but we'll give you all ample notice when it's due.

A very special thanks to Tony and Sandi Webber of Noosa Blue Water Charters for providing one of their Cougar Cats for use as the camera boat. And 'Muchos Gracious' to skipper Adi 'Kiwi' Rouse for making himself available on the day.
