Quality Fishing Tackle

Noosa Blue Water Charters documented the first Spotty Mackerel catch of the season when Brendan Burgess (left) nailed this 4kg specimen on a Cougar 'I' trip to Sunshine Reef on Saturday.
Brendan teaches Marine Studies at Sunshine Beach High School and as such oversees the annual class outing for year 11 students.
On the right we have Clinton French looking very satisfied having landed this 1.7kg Giant Herring. Clinton nailed his prize on Wednesday morning up around the mouth of Lake Cooroibah. He was using an Abu Sonar Tip rod and an Abu BlackMax 6600 reel loaded with 14lb Fireline. His bait? Live Herring.

'Rocket' Rod Pertot created a real dilemma for himself on Sunday when he failed to nominate who was in charge of 'what' rod placed in 'which' of his boat's rod holders.
When the Ugly Stik/Shimano 3500 Baitrunner combo went off, both his son Daniel (right) and nephew Chris grabbed for it, initiating an ownership battle that was still going on when this picture was taken.
It wasn't hard to resolve: one fillet each of this 460gm Whiting satisfied both claimants. Their bait? Live Prawn on a No.1 longshank hook.

The estuary exploded with activity this week as the bread and butter fish came on the bite with a vengeance. Whiting in particular were in good numbers and quality, as you can see.

Left, Brenda Cockerill weighed in this 500gm specimen on Wednesday after a session at Munna Point. She was armed with an 8ft rod and an Alvey reel loaded with 6lb line. Her bait? Live Yabby.
Right, Bob Chippendall from Brisbane was at Munna Point late Saturday morning when his live Yabby bait tempted this 430gm fish. He was using a Sabre rod, a Shimano 1000 reel and 8lb line.

And far right we have young Tyson Hewitt with his 325gm fish. Tyson got his at the river mouth at lunchtime on Sunday, using live Worm (from Davo's of course) on a No.6 longshank. He was kitted out with an Abu threadline combo and 4kg line.
