The forecast was good and a plan had been made during the week to chase some demersals off Two Rocks today.  Wayne Glew a mate from my Woodside Pluto days had invited me on his boat.  I’ve been out a few times with Wayne and from pics of days when I haven’t been on board he gets amongst some good sized dhuies on a regular basis but we had never managed to crack a good one with me on board.

Well today changed that.  Over the day we caught 8 dhuies.  Of those probably 3 were undersized and the non keepers all released well.  After we had our 2 keepers we moved away the ground to target baldies or a pink but to no avail, we still caught dhuies.

I’m happy the call the fish below a joint catch.  There was some fast and furious action happening onboard with 3 lines out and as there were only 2 of us on board there was some interchanging of rods.  Wayne hooked it on my rod and generously offered for me to take over.  The fish was over the 1m mark and whilst it was called for maybe a 20kg fish at the time it went 18kg on need I say tested scales.

Thanks for the day out Wayne.  It’s a PB for me and I’m stoked.
