The Day of the Black@ss
Went out on Sunday from Mindarie on Seabreeze's suggestion that the weather would be perfect - wrong....
We headed out to some spots that have been good in the past, though the sounder was very quiet and we didn't expect much. No-one got any really solid bites, though one drift produced a Dhu of 49.5cm, sooooo close!!!
The ground we were fishing must have been perfect habitat for black@ss, as we caught heaps and ended up keeping 3 - ranging from 35cm to 42cm which was the biggest I've ever caught. Not much else caught worth mentioning - though we got a decent queenie towards the end of the day (not the best photo).
Last drift of the day produced a 35cm foxfish, I felt a little bad keeping it given it was most likely older than me, but again had never caught one that size before.....
All in all still a good day out on the water, I quite like black@ss so was happy to get a good feed! The foxfish was excellent eating too!

good stuff boxy
where was my invite? Was waiting for one but nothing happened (just kidding) so ended up on my bros boat. just got a new sounder so decided to test it out off the back of GI. nothing much except plagued by little skips which was fun for abit on the light gear. Coulpe of runs on the floaters out the back but no hook ups. drifted after dark near freo got one massive squid to nearly a kilo and lost two others. Maybe organise a tandem run sometime soon!
