Spotties in the bay! Yes we finally had a narrow window of opportunity mid-week for the offshore crew to tangle with a few of these early season speedsters. Reports of bait balls the size of double decker busses, flocks of seagulls with tuna and mackerel chopping the water were coming through thick and fast. Sunshine reef down toward Caloundra was …
