Blues buddy's and a killer hangover.
After consuming way to much alcahol on aussie day I stayed committed to going for a dive with my mate today. He didn't drink at all but I was feeling not so good and just the 4x4 in to the spot had me feeling I'll haha. I suited up slowly as josh was done in a flash and jumped in. I was about to get in when he yells out and holds up a very nice grouper!! Barstard that fish should of been mine!!!
I got in swam 100m up the rocks, left a few queenys and small grouper and started feeling real bad, screw this I'm getting my grouper and I'm out hahaha, shot one of about 4 swimming around a rock. Seen a few flatties right where we got in and I got 4 in a few minutes. That's it I'm out nice spew on the rocks and felt better after that.
In the short time we where in the water we got 5 flathead, 2 king George, 6kg grouper and a 14-15kg one.
always looking for a new challenge!!

Nice work but it looks like
Nice work but it looks like Josh is the one that needs a spew or shit or something haha
I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

They are just everywhere down
They are just everywhere down here, was always see at least 10-20 each dive. Some of the spots close to town that are easy to get to are starting to get fished out but anywhere out of the way or a little bit isolated and they are just in plague numbers!!! We always get criticized by people when where cleaning them because for some reason everyone thinks there is none left??

First time we had been
First time we had been there, track was very difficult and I think a lot of cars would of struggled, my 6" lifted patrol with 35's had some trouble over the rocks right at the end and some of the sand bits are very rough and not easy even with the Tyres down.

The problem with them is
The problem with them is they're so old when they breed. Its pretty easy to shoot out all the breeders in an area I guess. No big deal with taking some small ones, they taste better anyhow.

Yeah that's why I try and
Yeah that's why I try and shoot one early on in my dive so that way if I do see any others/ bigger ones I'm not tempted to shoot them. And because where always diving different spots we try and give them a good chance. There must be some monster blues at this spot for greens to be this big!! Josh said he had seen a 25kg+ one as soon as he got in but that shot off quickly.

I wonder if it was where I was on the weekend. There was a 25kg green there snooping around while I bagged some abalone. I have never seen a green that big either.
