Larry and his boys have had some excellent fishing over the weekend, in spite of very blustery mornings. They've had a varied catch - Cod, Red Emperor, Fingermark, Parrotfish, Queenie, Trevally, Sweetlip, even a Remora! Click on the thumbnails below for a larger image...

"Are we there yet?!"     Some big cod were caught - most of which were released unharmed...     Troy Copelin with a nice Fingermark.     Troy Copelin caught this lovely Venus Tuskfish.     Tony Copelin caught this nice Queenie

The guys said it was FREEZING when they left Mount Isa...arriving to a balmy 28+C on tropical Sweers Island...and since they departed before dawn, they were out fishing by mid-morning...

Troy with his Queenie...     Troy with a little shark - it went back too!     Troy with an Estuary Cod...     Troy hooked this Remora also known as Sucker Fish!

A great mixed bag of Queenie, Shark, Cod and even Remora!...

 

the Gulf gets quite choppy in a SouthEaster...     Gary was all smiles when he caught this Red Emperor!     More smiles when Gary hooked this parrotfish!     And a Red Emperor too!

Choppy seas in the mornings didn't phase them...check out the Coral Trout, Parrotfish, Red Emperor...

 

Mark with a nice Queenfish...    Mark with a nice Parrotfish...     Mark with another Queenie...     Mark straining to bring something huge on board...     A monster Cod! This old fella was released unharmed (the cod, that is, not Mark!)

Day Two saw more Fingermark, Parrotfish, Queenies and a massive Cod which was released along with quite a few others.

 

And here is some video the boys made - click on the fish link below and please let us know if it does or does not download - this is a big file - nearly 40MB so consider that if you are not on broadband...and if anyone knows how to compress it for us, please get in touch!
