After getting the car back from the panel shop last Friday and the trailer all sorted out with a new winch post and repairs to the draw bar, decided to head up to Two Rocks for a look see on Monday.

Keep seeing these great fishing reports from up there, so figured it was my turn to boat some good fish.

Arrived at the ramp around 6.30am, with 2 boats just departing the marina, a 3rd on the ramp and only a small handfull of cars in the carpark, we had the boat in the water within 2-3 minutes. 

Only been up there once before in a mates boat and we had a wait of 30-40 minutes to launch.

Guessing either the place got hammered on Sat/Sun, or everyone headed into the sound to chase the snapper !

The weather was superb and just got better as the day went on - much different to the forecast on BOM and seabreeze !

Not knowing the ground up there, headed out west to the 40's for a look.

First drop and my 10yr old son Brandon was on within 5 minutes.

He thought he had the bottom at first, then the tell tale thumps on his rod proved otherwise.

Several minutes later a nice 9kg Dhuie floated up from the boat. Not bad on light weight gear.

He had a massive grin on his dial.. not sure if that was from the fish or the fact he won a bet with his grandfather - If he caught the first dhuie he would get $5... double if it was a big one !!

Thought this was going to be cracker of a day !

Nothing much after that first one.

Moved around the area looking and found a lump with plenty of fish showing - turned out to be sambo's..... bugger

Ran North up the bank for about 12 miles - nothing...

Had a fish on the way back in - still nothing...

Bit disappointing considering the weather conditions we had and covering nearly 60 nautical miles for the day !

If any one could enlighten me on some good ground up in Two Rocks, I would be very greatful

Wouldn't mind having another crack before the ban kicks in.

cheers,

Paul

Fish today - Work tomorrow !!!
