Certainly wouldn't be complaining about that one. Looks to be the perfect eating size as well.

 They're not all that uncommon outside Shark Bay, the edge of their range seems to be around bottom of Abrolhos.

Nice catch though for sure!

 Didn't see a single grey coat.......BUT fish went off the bite after we caught a very large remora. Finished off with a nice bag of baldies, huskies, snapper including one really good one and the red.

Good thing finding the smaller ledges, possible a bit of timing / season thing also.

We had a nightmare of a time up there, struggled at every good show we found.

Yup, had me snagged to the bottom

 Broke the sinker off in the rough stuff, a tiny little ledge lit up with fish but so small you had to repeatedly do the short drift. Still I am certainly not complaining and was over the moon when I saw the colour coming up.
