5 fatham
hey there guys i decided to go out for a fish yesterday arvo/evening fish. the weather look to inviting not to go out so i loaded up the tinnie an off i went. I didnt know where to head so i headed out to the 5 fatham behind garden island. On me way out there, there was an abundance of bait breaking the surface so i stopped off an casted in a floating bait with no luck so i trolled the rest of the way to the five hoping for something to hit my lure but with no luck.
I found a nice lump in 20 metres of water an anchored up an burleyed the shit out of the joint after half an hour i almost gave up but then it was on i caught 9 skippy which all went back bar one that i put under a balloon, in no less than five minutes of it being back in the water a 5 foot hammer head took it an boy was it fun to watch it jump out the water until i had it near the boat an it decided to jump in the boat an i almost jumped straight out i let it go an my bottom rig took off with a nice size jewie on the end yummmmm then as i got that aboard my rod took off again an i hit a school of pinkie's even better until the sharks moved it :(.
All in all i had a great day catching an resleasing fish i caught 9 skippy, 1 hammerhead, 4 blacktip reef sharks, 5 pinkies an 1 dhuie. But in doing the right thing i came home with 1 pinkie, 1 dhuie an 2 shark yummo was home in 3 hours from leaving home a bit of a longer fishing trip was good for a change so i might have to head back out there tonight.
