Boy oh boy, the Snapper sure have been prolific this year, and of good quality too. Doug Keidge from Tewantin was out at North Reef on Friday morning when this 5.5kg 'Knobby' took a fancy to his Pilchard on 6/0 ganged hooks. He was armed with a Shimano rod and a Jarvis Walker reel loaded with 30lb braid and 60lb trace. Oh, he also boated two Mahi Mahi.

The lads were out in force on Sunshine Reef on Thursday and didn't they do well. Dan, James, Ryan and Kyle spent the whole day there and came back with more than enough fish for a Christmas seafood banquet. Using Pilchards, Squid and Mack Tuna fillets they boated a few Pearlies plus the Sweetlip, Maori Cod and 5.5kg Red Emperor they're posing with.

And what's this? More Snapper, of course. Dominic Boast from Woombye spends most of his spare time fishing rivers and estuaries and has never caught a Snapper before. As you can imagine he was very pleased with his first ever of this species and at 3.5kg it was a good fish. Dominic boated this fish at North Reef on Saturday's Cougar One charter.

Ok! So who won the 'Guess the Weight' Competition we ran in last week's report? Well, nobody got the exact weight right so it went right down to the line. The competition finished at 6pm tonight and the winners are:

Mahi Mahi: Wolfgang Rauter wins with an estimate of 9.4kg. The listed competition weight was 9.25kg.

Cobia:
Kevin Richter (Marcoola) wins with an estimate of 15.8kg. The listed competition weight was 15.65kg.

The prize? Each receive a half day offshore fishing trip (worth $130.00) courtesy of Noosa Blue Water Charters.

Congratulations to the winners and many thanks to all who entered. Keep an eye out for the next competition!
