Another year at coral bay

Well another year at Coral bay is over lots of fish lots of piss and lots of hangovers but a well spent three weeks of my life i think. i met lots of nice people this year locals and people from around WA learnt a thing or two cought a few firsts when it comes to fish e.g rankin cod, gold band job fish thanks to a fellow bunbury couple simon & bonnie nice people got talking to them they told me to go out to the 110m mark drop down and try your luck well me my brother inlaw trent and cousin steve just did that straight on top of a gold bands head i reckon what a awesome day we all ended up with 2 each for the day headed back in and picked up three reds as well cant complain with that day but every day seemed that way if we were not fishing we were swimming at the beach the pool or at oyster bridge or the lagoon. Sharks played havoc with us a bit more than the last couple of years some wew around the 4m mark good fun for a little while but the soon got annoying as we had to move spots. as always i take my partner out for her only fishing trip this year it howled a good 25 kt ne in some decent chop but as usual first drop double header pearl perch and red next drop double header or reds next drop a 5 kg red i think she should come out more often the biggest red this year goes to my father in-law alex was 8kg on the same day as the nice cobia my dad got the nice tomato cod anyway hop you like the photos i am going to put some under water photos up on another post next but until next year tight lines
regards Daniel

Looks like you cracked the red code Dan, congratulations.  Look like the same size as the goldband we've been getting up here lately.
