Busselton mixed bag
Launched Saturday at 10.30am from Port Geographe marina, had a look around for some ground in the bay or should I say desert LOL. After finding a few small lumps we ended up with a Queen snapper, Pink snapper, Dhuie,Black Arse and a leather jacket, and plenty released, Then on the way back in stopped at the end of the Jetty and picked up some nice tailor and a few squid, a good mixed bag.
My lad Josh got bitten badly by a Tailor, his thumb wouldn't stop bleeding!! I think he just wanted to copy his mate who had the same thing happen to him the week before.
We Caught a few Gurnards as well, all released. One very lightly stabbed me in the thumb, I'll not let that happen again, bloody painful, I wouldn't want a deep stab from one. Does anyone eat these Gurnards? According to the ID section there not bad eating.
Sorry no pics, I'll get more organised and start to post a few.

Well done. Josh was telling
Well done. Josh was telling me about his finger. Tailor have anti-clotting stuff in their mouth, I have bled for well over a hour from bites before. Got bitten smack bang in the middle of my guts once. First of many bites there Josh, turning into a good fisho he is, loves that jetty.

I dropped 2 that night one on
I dropped 2 that night one on each overhead. Funny thing is on the second run I had a squid tube out which got eaten by the trumps resulting in a trump hooking itself through the gills then a mulla coming along and taking the trump. Couldn't get the hook to set in that one must have been the way the trump was hooked.
