Hiyas,
Ozlobster, my brother and myself launched from Mary Street ramp, down in Mandurah sometime after 4:30pm probably. We then headed out to the Five Fathom Bank for a few drifts. The first fish aboard was a good-sized skippy on bait, after that John was hauling them in on 5" Berkely SPs. Irritatingly I couldn't tempt them on any of the other SPs I was packing so I went back to bait myself. Next keeper in was a harlequin fish, and then we redid our drifts, but couldn't shake the ball of skippy under the boat. Bizzarely John pulled in a +60cm Dhufish that was in the same ball, and then we were bringing in rat YTKs in the mix. We moved to another spot & there, my brother and John got a couple of nice King George Whiting, my brother's on an 8/0 or 9/0 hook! Sorry no snaps of the other fish, they were all caught after dark.
PS: all be very afraid - I got my RST in the morning as well.

Or no Till!
Licenced to kill now LOL. Found someone you could bribe did you?
JK mate - well done - nice to get it out of the way. Sounds like you and John had a good time! Petty those YTKs weren't bigger. Still, you got a good feed by the sound of it!

Knocked off the Harlequin in
Knocked off the Harlequin in the steamer, served on rice with some bokchoi and a lemon-giner sauce, it was ace!

Lots of Skippy
Should've taken a pic of the sounder when it was blacked out by skippy...looked like a great lump rising from the bottom!
It's a snapper spot but was saying to till and Cam that we've caught just about everything BUT snapper the last two times there. Not complaining though!
