Albany
Made a quick dash down to Albany on new years eve to spend a few days with the family and get some fishing done.
The olds already had my boat down there so that made things easier for me.
New years day we took the boat out launching at Hartmens wich is a easy beach launch. Shot straight out to some lumps marked on most good maps. Set up right over a lump in 50m to do a test drift and had a drop in the process. First drop of the day Twitch Twitch BANG i loaded up in a big way on my PE5 stick after a blistering run i got busted off by a suspected big sambo or YTK.
Being to lazy to re rig i swapped to my PE3 Stick proceeded to Jig up a heap of rat YTK and Sambos while the bait boys smashed some quality Black arse and the unwanted Gurnard Perch and Sargent Bakers.
We fished up until lunchtime and ended up with a decent bag of Black arse, Swallow tail and a pinkie.
I didnt get as many pics as i should have done but here is a couple.

The Days bag between 4 of us

Hopefully get back down there soon for some more fun on the sambos and kings and find some decent ones this time.
Cheers Jayce

Looks like a good day out mate but must say your a brave man getting busted off on PE5 then switching to PE3.
How do you rate the assassin all-day gloves? Thinking of getting a pair.

Haha yeah probably wasnt the smartest idea but i didnt have another bust off at all. I think the fish might have got luck and taken me over a ledge and hit the braid on reef. I couldnt be bothered with another PR Knot so just went with it.
The all day gloves are great. Light weight dont make your hands real hot have plenty of feeling in them and dry really quick. I would definately recomend them.
