Two weeks later, I get that phone call that all Deckies want to get, Paul G asking if I would like to go to back to the Abrolhos on Anzac Day.

"Let me think about that, hmmmmm YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!, as long as we leave after the Dawn Service, who needs to watch the Pies & the Bombers.

Ohh and by the way, on this trip we are going to be joined by a "New & Mysterious Deckie" never fished before were Pauls final words before he hung up,

Hmmm Who Could It Be

So this trip saw us getting into Geraldton at 4pm to be joined by Kane & his new Trophy along with Dan on his Rigid Inflatable, State of the Art.

After getting the boats ready, we headed  out and through the heads into a howling SW, & 3m - 4m Swell.

After almost 3 hours and a very tough trip across saw us getting into the Abrolhos just after dark, making the passage through the reefs very tight and scarey.

Jesse with his trusty torch showing us the way.

We woke to a beautiful day and headed out for our first fish

New Deckie with the First Fish of the Day - Is there a Fish There???

Ahhh the Old Fart still Has It

Thank Goodness for Warm Weather

Hope It Get Hotter

Cool Off Abeldog, Let's Go for a Snorkel. Yes Yes

Back To The Fishing

We ended the day with a night fish, Funniest Hour, Bust Off after Bust Off, Big Bruiser Fish of all species

Day Two had The New Deckie First On The Board Again,

Hope the Weather Warms Up

Who Said No Reds, Nice One To Release, And So We Did

My PB Sambo, Forgot about the Tape Measure

Love That Warm Weather

Must Be Time For Another Snorkel

And so the Day Ended with Paul & Jesse Going for a Dive in Search of that Missing Go Pro only to be harrased by the biggest bronzies.

Once the boys were on the boat I dropped a whole squid, it was smashed half way down.

Now when you have 50lb Varivas vrs an Anchor Rope, who do you think will loose, Yep The Anchor Rope.

As the shark flew past the anchor, the Talica 12 fully locked, my thumb on the spool and reel is still  spilling line, the Varivas cut through the rope as if it was butter.

The Next morning had Paul & Jesse dive to get the anchor back and then we headed home.

Another Great Trip, New Friends & Great Company and that Magical Paradise known as The Abrolhos.
