Cracker of a day
Gday All,
So with all the talk last week of the weather being great friday, we headed out to Two Rocks to see what we could find (with Sea kem), we landed in a spot that Sea kem knew for about half hour, watched the Apprentice pull up nice Baldy - by then my deckie was spitting the chewy and wanted to head out deeper, so to stop my ears ringing off we went - dont worry Sea kem my turn to take out next time.
We studied some countours on the way out and landed on a great patch around 35 km out, with plenty of fish on the sounder we were very excited to get down there, it seemed they were pretty finicky with plenty of interest but nothing taking a good wack at our baits, about half hour later the Decky AKA the jig king gets onto a nice 6kg Dhuie on a jig (which i told him to get) - Stoked finally had a decent fish on board.
Another half hour later the decky spots this massive bust up on the surface - shit was going everwhere, in amongst the Chaos was sharks, birds, snapper, macks rekon we seen a couple of YTK in there aswell, PUMPED was the word - you know that scared feeling you get when you throw a lure in amongst a pack and everything just jumps out of the water - its an amazing feeling to think FK me what am i going to hook onto, decky loads up a mulie and hits the spot WACK!! its on zzzzzzzzzzz, funniest thing, he lights a ciggy, gets his beer and ses " il just wait for this thing to settle down a bit" haha classic, fkn great - i had my jig on still so that went out, after about 5 casts of lobbing it right in the middel WACK zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz im on - this show went on for about an hour, ive never seen a show like it, was immense fun lading Macks, hooked up about 3 Shark Macks around 10kg, and a very nice Spaniard which would have weighed 15 - 20kg, we had the inlaw onboard aswell and he landed his first nice snapper of a bout 4kg so a double bonus - we lost one freight train that i think is still heading off to the horizon, but that was to be expected.
as you can see below - my jig got belted, was orange now has not paint, the dimiki as a row of teethe marks about half way down, also the jig kings spaniard
t
after all that we were buggered - sat back had a few beers and decided to go to a little spot we knew closer in. lobbed out a floater WACK!! didnt even have time to set my drag, the mulie must have slapped him in the side of the face - first thoughts ahh he were go the token Sambo that we hadnt seen all day, mmmm hang on this feels a bit differnet, was head bangen like someone at an ACDC concert - anyway after a cracking fight in shallow water i pull it closer in FKN YESSSSSSS A MASS SNAPPER (for me anyway) pulled him onboard absolutley stoked, my first monster weighed over 10kg (thats all my scales went to). in amongst my excitement we landed 2 more nice snapper in about 10 minutes and also got the token Sambo and that was us done for the day - had no more room in the esky for the fish, tails were hanging out everwhere.
all in all what a great day and just to top it off the drive home was awesome, and a nice haul of fish.
thanks all for reading - sorry it was long winded again.
Cheers Dan

Ha ha F$&*en hell Dan that's a ball tearing session if I've ever seen one. Hit the jackpot mate. I think the best I did all day was an undersize Pinky ah but thems the breaks. Yeah mate if we get another day day like that would love to head out wide with you. We ended up sounding around a bit too and found a couple of likely spots for the future. Lurve the Pinkies and glad to see the inlaw onto em as well.

Dude - awesome day!

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
