Dampier report from friday
The forecast for friday was looking good so I teed it up with one of my mates to head out in his boat for a fish. The weather turned out better than expected and soon saw us heading out wide for a bottom bounce. The first place we stopped produced some good fish and I managed to land my first trout on soft plastic. The two other fellas on the boat landed nice sized trout as well before the trevaly moved in and started smashing anything that moved. After being stretched a few times by trev’s we decided to head out in search of a billfish. Things were quiet until we found a small bait ball that was holding some good fish. We landed three sails, dropped two and a black in around half an hour. We saw a few sails free jumping and even a Black marlin that looked around the 100kg mark. My hat goes off to the fella that was out there alone in his 4.4m tinnie. At one stage he was hooked up, getting his tag pole out and still managed to talk on the radio all at the same time. He was getting quite a few fish too. If you’re reading this mate, well done. The bait ball was moving quite fast and the bite was slowing a little so we decided to go search for a red. We tried a few spots but all we could manage were a couple of juveniles. As it was starting to get late in the day we packed it in. An afternoon glass off and an acrobatic whale and its calf made for a pleasant return to the ramp. A big thankyou to my mate for the trip (he knows who he is), I had a phat time.

As usual the wind was up on Saturday, and I had to work Sunday morning. Still went out for a fish Sunday pm but only little things as it was to late to go wide, and the wind looked like picking up.
Well done mate.

Well done Webby, good feed there and some fun with the billies too, no wonder you didn't make it around for a brew that night.
