I was talking to one of the charter boat captains this morning who was out there around us yesterday. He said they struck out too and from what he’s heard the Gold Coast is dead as well.
There’s also a tournament out of redcliff this weekend and the majority of the boats hit Caloundra wide or the canyons north of Morton (both are within 10-15 nautical miles of where we were fishing). The winning boat only caught three fish. His opinion was it was a moon or barometer problem that has them off the chew.
Another buddy was out yesterday on a game boat and they only caught one dolly so it appears it wasn’t a problem just we were having but instead they’ve got lockjaw for some reason.
I haven’t figured it out. Moons waxing and will be full in five days. Barometer has been steady for the past 6 days. We hit two tide changes and the entire run in between. Looks like I need to learn a few things about it because from what I know they should of been feeding.
