Finnaly I was able to get out and chase some fish on Staurday 25th Jan. It has been a good few months since i have been able to get out wide and chase some freezer fillets.

Took a mate out along with my neighbour (James) and his mate (Craig). They had never fished on a boat before off Perth. On the water at 7 and fishing a sambo spot by 7:30. Got onto around 20 sambos for the best part of 3 hours. Good fun watching James and Craig get stretched by sambos. Their biggest fish prior to this was a whiting.

Not massive but good fun size. Brett below with a nice sambo

Then decided to chase some dhuies and Pinkies and had some success.

Then James got his first ever Dhuie. 9kg and a pretty good way to open the bank. pretty happy boy.

As soon as his hit the boat Brett hooked up on a dirty Gulp!!! another 9kg Dhuie.  check out the colour of this one. Albino me thinks???? anyone else ever seen one this white? is it that it dies as it is coming up and it changes colour? was still pretty fiesty at the boat though.

After the obligatory photos and beers we went back around for another drift back over. Hoping for a nother pinkie to get our fourth fish for the esky.

Brett again on a dirty gulp goes bang...... anothe dhuie. didnt weigh it as didnt want to hurt it but was much bigger than the others so i gave it a 13kg. Few photos then realeased with the weight back to fight another day.

 headed back when i almost ran over a cray rope. stopped to untangle when the sounder looked nice. dropped down to pick up a blackbum to top off the day.

Sadly the skipper got f all. Tied lots of knots and took lots of photos. but had fun watching others enjoys a day that i usually take for granted.

Thanks for reading.
