Fishing today at back of Rotto !
Rolled over this morning at 6am to the sound of the alarm telling me to get up for a fish..Kicked Claire in the guts...bloody cold weather makes it hard to get going. Pulled off frozen boat cover, redbull... check, pizza shapes..check, we are good to go.
Was very quiet at the ramp this morning, but then i remembered it was monday, and most people are at work.
First up we headed out to a great little lump we found in 35m of water a while back, hoping the skippy and squire snaps had pissed off, so we could hook into some of the bigger fish..but no, they were still there. So we thought we would try find some more king george near Rotto..so off to the west side we went. Was some great ground around there and after 3 hours of trying about 2 gazillion sand patches, Claire the arsey biatch hooked a nice kg that went 47cm. Skipper was happy as the pressure was off now, so it was off to test the new sounder out.
We headed out to a spot in the 60s we had marked on our nav charts last night, that we thought would be a good spot to do some bottom bouncing. First drift for a 50cm flatty, mmmm bloody sandy shite i was thinking. I then had a good bite, and a 48cm dhuie come to the surface. We drifted a little more and all of a suddden Claire the biatch was on again..she called for the net, and soon after we boated a nice baldie at 51cm. We did a few more drifts for nothing..and when a whale surfaced next to us, we then decided to head back in to Scarbs. Had a few drifts for squid, but luck was not on our side.
Got back to the ramp at 1600, and Claire got to test out her new 3 speed boat winch. Another great day on the water with my beloved wifey the "Baldchin Magnet"

Paul G you sound like Bob
his statement is if I caught a fish before him, "Well whats the use of taking a deckie, deckie's got to be good for something," Go girl power Claire excellent, usually if I get one before the skipper, you can cut the air with scissors, its so blue with his lovely yelling and swearing at me but Claire I usually get f$#@kin' tin arse the fish must have been blind ha ha ha. Love king george whiting & baldie they would be some of my favourites for somebody that doesn't like fish that much.

Job
Its the skipper's job to find the ground and put the boat in a position so the decky can do the easiest job of catching the fish.
Thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it!!!
Nice fish there,Claire

Good stuff Wade
Was a nice day out there for sure, albeit a bit chilly in the morning.
Go the KG/Baldie combo! Two of the best eating fish out there for sure.
