Fishing Lancelin with Tonyb

Headed off to Lancelin Sunday morning to go fishing with Tonyb.

Went to check the pots, but unfortunately no crays.

The weather was unbelievable, completely flat all day, and pretty glassy through the morning. Was a breeze getting out

Headed out to a bank, and just tried some areas. Got a few bites. Tony hooked up to a good fish pulling a bit of string, but unfortunately the rig broke at the hook. One or two other hookups, but didnt get them to the surface.

At one point, we saw some baitfish on the surface (unfortunately not being harassed by bigger fish though). You could see how huge the school was on the sounder. At some points it was telling us that the water depth was only 12m due to how thick the school was

Tony got a nice queenie that pulled a bit of string.

I managed to get a small pinkie on a jig

Also, another jig eating denizen of the deep

Tony managed to get two baldies that were just oversize, and a skippy

On the way back, we decided to head past Key Biscayne. It was a fair few miles there, but due to conditions it didnt take long at all.

Had a bit of trouble finding the rig as it wasnt quite on the chartplotters location, but found it in the end. We both got some small sambos, and one or two random fish (cods or wrasse of some sort)

Getting back to the beach was nice and quick due to the great weather. Unfortunately the winch snapped while on the beach, but eventually got it sorted due to help from the anchor rope and another helpful person on the beach.
