So I've been venturing out a big lately in my new tub, just sounding for some lumps and chasing some of these elusive Cockburn snapper that I keep hearing about, Me and a mate decided to get up at sparrows yesterday and head out to some lil lumps I've found, Most of the morning turned up one rat snapper and a lonely herring and the easterly was starting to really howl Making it increasing difficult to anchor on the lumps. i made the call to go and catch some squid an try and save face, well at least they were there! We got twelve pretty quick with blues and pinks doing the most damage. With the wind not really dieing off yet ,The call was made to head in Heading back to woodman point boat ramp, we came accross two boats hooked up, i stopped and watched for a bit before dropping a deep diver in and sounded around the general area, once I seen the school on the sounder I knew the day was saved, my deckie has never caught or seen these missiles school up before so he was first up, once he hooked up I dropped my light gear down and soon had my 2-4kg gear screaming in protest. this lasted for around 1 1/2 hours and it was just pure mayhem! At one point we had salmon busting up 50metres on each side of the boat! Hitting everything and anything! ive never seen a more fired up school in my many years of salmon hunting down south. And to have this in September in metro waters less than a km from the ramp .
