Encounter

 Hey all 

with this week ends forecast being good decided to go for a snapper mission on sat .

launched around 10 am and chased some squid for fresh bait .

moved out after a few hours with a few for fresh bait to try some ground and see sound around to find somewhere to anchor and get set for the evening.

ended up on a spot Ive thought pinks would show up at and dropped the pick.

while my brother was out the front trying to get the anchor to hold I dropped in and got a pink straight on!

Next two drops for me was a baldie each drop and my. Ro was on a pinky, fair to say we had a hot bite on and would get better after dark.

but  before dark bruce rocked up proceeded to eat a fiddler ray, menace a pinky ,  chew on my outboard and shut the spot down completely.

so decided to go out again yesterday arvo and see if the pinks were on .

bruce was nowhere to be seen , photos can tell the rest.

first white I have seen and around 4.5m long was a awesome creature.

 Ps local snapper comp is on run by 2 oceans tackle in Busso check it out on there Facebook page.

cheers

Nope, unfortunately I was confined landside, though with that big bugger around I might thank my lucky stars.
