Baldie Cold Morning
Yeah it was bloody cold Saturday morning. First to launch at Mindarie and a first time for me for a long time at this ramp. Myself and two mates launched at 5am and anchored out early for a few snapper.
6 pinkies were caught by Craig (all 35-40cm), I lost four rigs (what a start to the day), Jimmy got a ray and that was it for our pre sunrise session.
A cold start for the day, but it was great to be on the water.
Sunrise;
Jimmy loaded up;
Out on the coral and a little warmer later in the day, we caught 3 small dhuies and a few breaksea (all released).
Craig got a nice breaksea which was quickly dispatched. This was Craigs first fish for many years.
Sounding around I found some nice coral ground and set the drift. The result, one happy fisho with a 69cm Baldie.
Jimmy bagged a 55cm Dhuie and Craig got another 2kg plus breaksea.
A small shark also made it to the esky and that was us for the day.
Just got back from dinner - Jimmy made up a killer Burmese Shark curry and I deep fried a black bum, oh and some pan fired dhuie aswell....ohh full as!

Yeah very pale Russ..just like his mate too. Caught over sandy/coral area. One of them spat all our bait out once hitting the deck...He picked the bait off two of us before Craig got him on a circle hook - this was on the same drift too. Amazingly funny.

Don't think Jimmy has a recipe Till. Will have to organise a meal and watch him cook it! I've never had better curries then his.

Yeah Paul, was good to get a feed especially when taking out an old high school mate for the first time. He is off to buy a fishing outfit now!
