Off Dampier Sunday 15/3. Trout farm
G'day Fellas
Went out for a blat with a mate on Sunday and managed to have a great morning. Tide was absolutely pumping off the back of one of the islands and the run had the fish seriously on the bite.
GPS was giving me grief so just used the sounder to drift over a couple of lumps in the usual area and it was game on. Last week was roughly in the same spot and the sharks had a field day on the neaps.
First drop got onto something that pulled pretty damn hard in only 12m of water...thinking here we go, sharks at it again and a repeat of last week!!!! How wrong was I.
83 cm of pure unadulterated run and serious FUN in the form of a bullocking Chinaman, I reckon would have gone at least 10kg.
For the next 2hrs the place was full of Coral trout and managed to pick up one on nearly every drop around the 60-65cm mark. All but 3 were released to get just that bit bigger.
Things went pretty quiet when the water went slack so we had a cruise around for a while looking at a few other spots on the sounder and GPS when it decided to join in before pulling up stumps and heading home on the smoothest water seen for a long time.
Apologise for the lack of quality in the pics. Taken on camera phone.
