Had another great day out off cervantes today with a mate.

Got to my favourite spot around 7.30 and first drop produced a sgt baker for me and a big snap off for my mate. 2nd drift i nailed a nice baldie. 3rd drift was a bit off the mark so only had a few little pickers. 4th drift, another baldie of around 58cm. went to set up for another drift but i noticed a boat heading our way and i wasnt about to give up the location of my new favourite spot so we headed a bit further south and the first drift saw about a 6kg dhuie hit the deck. i decided to get my mate in on the action so i retired the rod for a few drops and held the boat over spot x.

3 drops in a row saw my mate get 2 BB's and a baldie wich were all released. i dropped again with my 10lb stick and a 7 inch gulp in BBQ chicken colour and as soon as i hit the bottom i was on and with a good fight i had another dhuie on the deck and my mate also landed a little dhuie both were realesed. the next drop i hooked up solid to what i called to be a big dhuie but i just couldnt hold it on my lightish placcie rod. the last few drifts saw more dhuies and baldies come to the surface an quickly returned to the water.

by this time it was around 10.30 so we decided to go to the back of the reef for a troll and within minutes of the X-Rap being towed behind the boat it was hit hard but the hooks didnt stick. a few minutes later the X-Rap got hit again, this time the hooks stuck and after a short fight we had a nice little yellowtail king at the boat, after a quick photo he/she was set free. we trolled for another half hour but had nothing else to show for it so we headed back thru the passage in glassy conditions. i finally got some photos so i will post them up tomorrow. cheers
