Me n my mate Bads decided to give Cervantes a go on the weekend given the great weather forecast.

Headed up on Saturday morning at gentlemans hours to a light easterly and relatively flat seas.

Went straight out the back and picked up a few Dhuies and Baldies for the esky and then proceeded to muck around with a few sambos as well. Video link below:

The water glassed off around 10:00 and we deceided to hit closer reefs for some snapper for a bit of a change.

After a couple of initial drifts to find some lumps we deployed the burley bomb made up of blended herring frames and IT WAS ON!!!!!

Having a drift of 100m every half an hour so meant the fish just followed us and the burley. Floating a bait down and as soon as it got out of sight you were hooked up.

Had a mix Snapper, Sambos and Dhuies all coming up off the bottom to smash our baits. Sounder Porn!!!! 

My Snapper went 75cms.

The sun was getting down and we were running out of time so last baits were called and Bads hooked up to something with a lot of weight! Granted he was only using his Stradic 2500 with 8lb line so anything above a herring looks huge. After a massive fight that lasted 10mins or so with huge powerful runs, up popped a decent size Dhuie that went 75cm.

Cruised in at 20-30 knots the whole way with a few cans to celebrate a ripper day! 

The next day looked just as good as the following but the tacho shorted out and blew a fuse so we decided to be safe rather than sorry and leave it at one day only.
