Finally Got a few fish past the Cvon Sharks!!!!
Organised last Sunday with a few blokes to head out to the islands (Bernier) on Monday... Yeap... all cool... We'll be at your house by 6:30am...
5am.. Im up.. loading boat, filling esky etc etc... 6:30.... waiting.... 7:00... waiting....7:30...waiting....8:00... waiting... 8:30.... waiting...
Phaaark em.Last time I invite those guys..... ring around for a new crew.... bugger... everyone is up the coast for Easter!!!! PHAAAAARRRRKKKKK!!!!!
Missus comes out.. "how about #####?" shit.. yeah Ill try him!!!
All good...he's keen to head out... BUT.. its now to late to go to the islands... so head out to Bejaling Shoals for a couple of hours...
Anchor up.. .BANG.... into it!!!!
A few pinkies, moses perch, flag, mulloway, mackies, saddletail, norwest snapper,... then the tuna showed up!!! Whole place was bubbling with action....
Had a flick with a Shimano waxwing.... 3 casts.... 3 tuna!!!
I was buggered!!!! lol...
Had a 10 minute drink break and thought, bugger it Ill have one last cast at the tuna.....
BANG !!!!!! Line goes peeling off at a huge rate of knots and felt like a Mack truck on the end!!!! All of a sudden it turns and heads for the boat.... Im winding so fast Im almost losing grip on the bloody handle.... then this bloody huge thing launches straight out of the water at the boat!!!
"HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!" nearly landed in the bloody boat!!! Off it goes again, launching out of the water and spinning like a bloody washing machine agitator!!!! (Even more spin than Julia Gillard)
Ive seen them before but never hooked one..... It was about a 6 - 7 foot Spinner shark.... Closely followed by 2 of his even bigger mates!!!!!
I was fighting this thing a few minutes until due to the constant spinning.... he wrapped up all my leader around his body, down to the 80Lb braid.. which then lasted all of 10 seconds once it rubbed on its skin!!!
Glad it got off.... I was too buggered to do anything with it even if I got it to the boat!!!
Needless to say... after that... the usual fishing story of my last few months re-occured... lost everything else to sharks.. but was happy I finally had a feed of fish again after 3 months trying!!!!

Good mates
Good to see you had a good catch, what was the reason your good mates did not turn up? Should have taken your missus let her share in the pleasure of fishing!
Might need to find some different fishing buddies, ones that appreciate what you are offering!
Well done good catch, good photos and good report.
Cheers

Still havent heard from
Still havent heard from them!!! Not even a sms to say they couldnt make it!!!
Not really mates.... more-so their kids go to school with my kids type of mates!!
Needless to say.. They have burnt their chances of being invited again!!!
In regards to the missus....... I have more chance of pis..ng on the sun than getting her out on the ocean!!! lol... She is shit scared of sharks... She wont even get on a cruise ship!!!
And with the amount of sharks climbing out of the water chasing the bait schools.... she would probably have a heart attack if she actually saw it!!! hahaha

I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

Nothing worse
Nothing worse then people not rocking up when it's planned.. Can't understand it when some people would love the chance to get out in the boat and others just take it for granted.. Glad to see you still got out there and caught some great fish..

Mulloway!!!!!
You didn't deliberately bring a MULLOWAY!!! in. Shame on you!!!
Sounds like you had a great day out considering the time lost chasing up a crew. I had the joy of being on radio duty on Sunday arvo, always happens when the weather is good.

Hahaha , brought in 2 mulloway actually!!!!
i don't mind them fresh and they were the right size to eat...
we were out Monday... I saw what looked like 2 tug boats and a large cat with orange cab head past us, and I though you were on it... Remembering from earlier post that you may have been heading up to the cape?? (Carnarvonite)
cheers guys for the positive feedback... I thought it was about time I actually posted about one of my trips instead of just commenting on everyone else's!!!!
