Got to the boat ramp or should i say beach to launch the boat at around 6:30.  Headed out through the south passage towards one of my favourite spots in the 40's. First drop saw 2 little BB's come up, i quickly de-hooked them and let them swim another day. Second drift saw me get smoked by something big (problly a dhuie or baldie). So after a quick re-rig i was down again and hooked up straight away to a 55cm dhuie, he was in good health so i let him swim away aswell. The next drift i was on big time to what i first thought was a bigger dhuie only to be slightly dissapointed to see a 12kg sambo and a few of his mates coming up from the depths.  After seeing the 4 or 5 other sambos coming up with him i got my light plastic rod out for the next drift and before i even hit the bottom i was on solid to a nice sambo. After landing another 6 sambos (and getting busted up by a few more) on the plastic i decided to try and find a table fish or two.  I was at my next spot in no time thanks to the glassy conditions. I dropped my paternoster rig with 2 smallish squid on each hook to the bottom. Once again i was hooked up solid to a good fish that was peeling line of my tld. After a spirited fight i could see colour and a nice baldie was safley in the net. After dispatching him into the ice box i re-baited and set up for the next drift. This drop i had to wait a bit longer, maybe 30 seconds to get a decent bite and a good hook up to a fish with alot of head shakes. After a few minutes i had a good size pinkie on the surface, after a quick net shot he was bleed and put into the ice box with his mate. I then decided to leave that spot for another time as i had my quoter of 2 demersals. i headed to the back of the reef to do a quick troll before i made my way through the passage again. not long after i had the lures in the water the X-rap was hit solidly by a smallish mackie that was relesed quickly. i set the lures out again and after about ten minutes the X-rap got hit again by a good size fish. The ratchet was kicked into over drive as the fish took off, i grabbed the rod and was set for a good fight. after about 15 minutes i could just see colour but the fish had other ideas and he took off for another run. I managed to turn his head and slowly pump and wind the fish back to the boat. After a few more minutes the fish was splashing around on the surface and with a quick tail grab the 20kg+ samson fish was lifted on board. After dehooking the fish i speared him back into the water and headed for home. All in all it was an awsome day on the water, the weather was glassy all day and the fish played the game. Cant wait to get back up to Cervantes soon
