8 litre Solo session and a myth busted
I needed some squid for a seafood bonanza I've got planned for when my Dad visits in a few weeks and with the forecast today was going to be the day. Seeing it was a public holiday and the ramp would be packed, I decided to beat the crowd and launch super early to have a crack at a snapper before first light. I'd anchored up by 5.30am, floated out my first bait and had just chucked in the first few cubes of mulie when the rod came to life. A lot of head shakes and a few good runs and pulled the hooks! Bummer. Another bait in and I'll save you the reading but the next hour produced 3 dhuies to 13kg, 2 snapper, a dozen sambos and a few nice skippy, all released except the biggest dhufish.
Excuse the self portrait, and no, this isn't the spot, it was taken while I was squidding.
I felt like celebrating but seeing as there were no beers in the boat I decided to have my brekky instead and thought I'd bust a myth while I was at it:
I then left the spot, grabbed some squid and beat the retrieve rush, home in time for lunch with a fair lump of seafood and all using 8 litres of fuel. My kind of day.
