We hit the All marine fad about 6;45, plenty of rat dollies free jumping, but after 3 or 4 runs past the fads we had only 1 hookup that didnt stay connected.

Set up a drift cubing pieces of mulie and floating back unwighted pieces with a hook buried. No joy but, a few more boats turned up but didn't see a lot of action. Did bring a lange bronzie( we think it was a bronzie) to the boat that took a floater, would have been around the 60kg mark. Just hung deep and sulked for a while until I got him near the boat then it fired up, cut him off boatside.

Trolled up to Freo YC Fad,plenty of boats there.

Run a spread of 5 lures back towards the west end, So many small stripies, Quadruple hookup at one stage, 1 of these on a pusher double hook rigged that was nearly as big as the stripie........
