dhu from busselton
Hi guys,
went out bout 2 weeks ago with a mate from down there on some ground near a spot that i had given him.
He had done well the trip out before so I thought I better go down there and see if i could get one. We meet at the boat ramp around 6.30 in the morning and headed out but the wind proceeded to blow its arse off till about 12. We fished some old marks of mine that were very quiet and considering the speed we were drifting it was ineffective to say the least. Went out a bit further once the wind dropped and once sounding around I/we saw fish on the sounder and once the drift was set right we were into it and i dropped a good fish half way up, which i'm positive was a dhu, then my mate hooks up and it cuts through his leader. new drift and we are on again and my mate hooks up, then drops one, hooks up again and drops him, by this stage he is ready to punch whatever he can get his hands on, and then I hook up which frustrates him even more! after a really good tussle that lasted a good ten minutes we start to see colour and then up pops mister dhu. I was stoked and even though not a horse still my best dhe to date by a mile. The pics dont do him justice cos my fat arse is holding him, but he measured up at 101cm. not sure on weight though.
anyway after this my mate hooks up again and drops another one, I caught a little fella bout 55cm which quickly went back and then we had to hit the road as Al was supposed to be heading to Walpole about ten minutes ago and we still had a fair drive ahead of us.
thanks for reading guys
cheers carps

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
