Carnarvon Update
Took advantage of some magic weather to take a run over to Koks island,29nm from Carnarvon.Decky COL[cooda] was into it first drop and me straight after.Result,2 big bludger trevs of 7-8kg,after a few swear words both released,move to next spot.Down go the lines and up come 2 double headers.Cooda got a pinkie of 4kg and an undersize NW snapper,Igot a pinkie of 5-6kg plus a small rankin cod,rankin and nw snap go back.Another drop Cooda gets another good pinkie and I got a just under rankin,back goes the cod. Move to deeper water outside the islands,Cooda comes up with another pinkie ,same with me,Cooda comes up with a small legal red emperor,I get a double of undersize black snapper[blue lined emperor].After a couple of drops its a total of 6 pinkies in the box,time to go prospecting. After half an hour of idling around we come on a most unlikely bit of bottom but we give it a go.Col comes up with a good red emperor and I'm onto something thats gone into a hole,80lb braid doesn't break easily,so start motor and idle off and hey presto,up comes a good rankin.Worth another drop after that and Cooda comes up with an estuary cod just below max size and I tangle with a bronze whaler about 5-6 foot.Cut shark off box Cooda's cod and down we go again,up comes one more pinkie giving us 7 pinkies,2 reds and 2 good cod. We found another couple of spots on the sounder but didn't try them due to a heap of big sharks to 10ft hanging around under us and we're not into giving gift meals to the buggers so it was time to head for home.Travelled nearly 90nm for the day,found some sweet new bottom and got a top feed to boot.More shots of individual fish later
