2 Rocks good Friday
Well with the weather 'meant' to be reasonable on Friday, decided to head up to 2 Rocks with Scano, and 2 new guys who we had not taken out before.
Early morning start and at the ramp just before light around 6am. In the water and on the move.
Once outuside the 3 mile the conditions were no where near as good as expected, with a stiff easterly still blowing through. But we pushed on, at about 22 knots out to our destination out at direction bank.
Not long after we arrived, the first casualty. One of the new blokes was not handling the conditions, and was already creating burely! not a good start.
We started to fish, with some good fish showing up on some lumps which has proved fruitful in the past, however nothing was on the bite, with only a small BB coming over.
Must have been 3 or so hours before any of us had even received a decent bite!
Sem one of the new fellas was first to hook up. I must state it was one of the first trips for him on the boat, and given the crap conditions didnt get sick at all. He thought he was cursed, as even beach fishing he just couldnt find any fish. So I was determined to prove him wrong.
After a nice fish, Sem brings up a nice baldie!!
I think the smile says it all! the biggest fish he had ever caught
Not too Long after Scano hooks up, again a ggood fight and another baldie hits the surface, 2nd good baldie!
Another couple of drifts later and both scano and Sem are hooked up. Strangely enough Scano hooks a great Cuttley, which even pulled drag on the Saltiga!! Not the best photo shot, but no net onboard!
Sem hooked up! As he was quite new to using an overhead, it was bloody funny watching him, Scano and i saw him hook the fish on the first strike, but he wasnt certain he had hooked it, so sat and waited, then tried to set the hooks again, still wasnt sure, even with Scano and i both giving it too him saying he was hooked up and to give it hell!
Finally the penny dropped!
and the Fish, a new PB for sem in any fish category!!!! his face says it all. To go out on a boat and hook into one of WA's finest eating fish. This dhu gave him some curry too!
can see the envy on Scanos face!
Quietened down after this, so decided to make our way in. Good day on the water, the conditions got better as the day went on, and a new deckie happy as larry! A quiet day by all means but a couple of good fish bought up
Cheers

Top Job
An average day for a rich man can be a great day for a pauper. I'm sure the two new deckies really appreciated the trip, a day to remember.
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.
