A cracker of a day in the Pilbara

Left pointt Samson around 530 this morning and the weather didnt look to great but we got to our spot and got a few nothwest snapper not much happening so we decided to move not far around the same lump.  Pulled up at the spot and saw some good marks on the sounder the next hour we pulled up some magnificent fish from coral trout 3 of over 6 kilo, red emperor , rankin cod and some big northwest snapper .  It was the hottest bite you could imagine. Come 9am we had our limits so we headed in with glass like conditions to be greeted by a few whales.  Went for a bit of a dive to cool off after a hot session. Home by ten and a few beers to celebrate.

Always good when you drop onto a patch of good fish and get a hot bite going. Well done mate.

What bait was doing the damage?

There is nothing than when the fish are really on the bite.
