Double Island Point was worth a look on Sunday as far as the boys from Noosa Blue Water Charters were concerned and local angler Jamie Bacon (above left) was among those who went along for the ride. During the 12 hour 'Maxi Charter' the guys boated Snapper, Squire, Mahi Mahi (Dolphin Fish), Moses Perch, Parrot Fish and, in Jamie's case a standout 5.5kg Spangled Emperor. Jamie was kitted out with a Silstar Crystal Tip rod and a Shimano TLD20 reel loaded with 10lb line to a Pilchard bait. Back near home base, Sunshine Reef produced Coral Trout and Moses Perch while Laguna Bay was 'dead as' until this morning when the Spotted Mackerel fired up out wide. Local yak angler Bill 'Billybob' Watson (above right) was paddling his kayak about 1.5km's north west of Jew Shoal this morning when he got into a 'patch' of Spotties and boated four (2kg to 3.8kg) and caught and released three Mack Tuna in a busy one hour session. He was armed with a Shakespeare 3kg-5kg Ugly Stik and a Shimano Sienna reel loaded with 14lb Fireline and 25lb mono trace.

ONSHORE: The North Shore got the 'all clear' as far as the 'weed' was concerned this week and those who made the effort found Whiting well spread from the river mouth to Double Island Point, Dart north of Teewah and Chopper Tailor south of the First Cutting. On the east side, north Sunshine Beach produced Flathead and Tarwhine, Sunrise Beach; Chopper Tailor and Marcus Beach yielded Dart, as did south Peregian but with the added bonus of Bream and Whiting.
