Albany report
G'day All,
Headed down to Albany again hoping to get one of the large pinkys that i had seen on a few southern fishing forums.So on Saturday me and the brother in law set out our spot about 20mins drive from albany and headed out to the usual spots only 10mins from the ramp.First drop and the in law engaged the lever and straight away yelled "im snagged" then "hang on im on".After battling to get the fish off the bottom we were calling it for a good queen snapper when a big pinky came into veiw.He was stoked with his first big pink at 85cm.
After that we moved around for the morning and i tried using some jigs.I caught plenty og different species but mostly crap /sargent baker wrasse and a coupe of big swallowtail.after that the fish seemed to go off the bite so on the way back in stopped over the weed banks fro a squid.Only got one but it was a stonker!
One other thing..The brother inlaw did manage to get a couple of pinky spines in his foot.At the time he didnt mention it so we carried on planning to head out on Sunday.Needless to say the next day hes foot was swollen and he was in a lot of pain.Off to Hospital and they put him on anti biotics.On monday it was still not improving so back to hospital for a local anesthetic and they cut his heal open and removed a couple of small pieces.Reckons it was the most painfull injury hes ever had.(This coming from someone who has broken his kneecap)Bloody nasty things,They must have a really powerfull bacteria in them.Has anyone else had similar stories?
cheers

Great report
Albany is a dangerous place LOL. I fished with Dreamweaver and got my finger chomped on by a Morey Eel!!!!!
I don't know about Pinkey spines but I have had several Cobler spikes in the foot and boy; do I understand the pain your brother inlaw has endured.
Cheers, Vince

Top stuff Chris
That will teach your in-law for catching the biggest fish (Lol). I can imagine how painful that would be. Like Vince I have had urchin spines in my foot.
