Colorful evening on the water
Headed out for a long overdue fish with Mark and Kev yesterday with the plan being to anchor and start a burley trail out to the back of rotto.
Things were looking good when a couple of XOS kingies started flashing in and out of the burley only a couple minutes after the anchor had been deployed. For a good half an hour or so they wouldn't touch the heavier gear no matter what we chucked at them so I flicked out a whole mulie on my 4k twinpower which got engulfed as soon as it hit the water in an epic subsurface take. To say I didnt stand a chance would've been an understatement after this brute dumped over half my spool before finding a bit of reef. Kev also hooked up at the same time on his heavier gear which went straight down into some gnarly country.
Things went quiet for a while after that rush with a few Skippy coming over the side until Kev boated a nice Blackarse at 43cm which I followed with my first harlequin going 60cm on the tape taken on fresh Shore Catch mullet.
Twas a great few hours on the water, we are all hanging for the weather and work schedules to line up again to hopefully get stuck into more good fish.

That fken big kingie literally tore my arms off for a whole 2 minutes before reefing me... bastard! Lol
Another PB added to the list... tonight's dinner, a blackarse/breaksea cod!
A fish in the hand is worth 10 in the water!
