Dances a jig... My first "real WA fish lol

 So i braved the 35 dec heat an the 80+ percent humidity today.

Went up to ascot again an got my first wa 40cm bream sadly i dont have a pic as my new phone hasntarrived....

But concidering last nine months i am wel chuffed. It almost compensates for what can only be decribed as the traffic from hell that hell would think was hell.....Aka The Great Eastern Highway.

 Nice work. The bull sharks caught in the river are generally small, mostly up to about 1.3m

hehe yer ive seen to many big sharks over years not to respect their habitat.... safe is better n sorry :). Fish was quite a supprise. Got my phone sorted now so next one will have pics lol. Gonna take my 20KG rod too  in case I decide to drop a bait for a shark, but not sure if I can be bothered..... Love my little 2-4 rod now... best 200$ I've spent.

 

PS as for longline, hmm good idea, I could prolly fit 1000 hooks, 1km line in that water :D

Biggest trouble with Ascot is that bloody orrible drive. Anyone been up past Airport latly ?... jesus wept on a cracker that is horrific in rush hour....

Yeah, I went to T2 to catch a flight out early Wednesday morning, and got detoured around to I dont know where, but came back out on Horrie Miller drive facing away from T2, and no idea where I was until I started seeing the Long Term car park sign, so as soon as I saw J2, that's where I always park, I was a quite relieved.
