Fishing today, back to work tomorrow
Hi all
Took my diving buddy fishing today and he scored his first dhuie....measured 57cm so we're guessing it weighed a couple of kilos, but he was stoked. I scored a nice size queen snapper, so I was stoked, too.
Left the Dawesville ramp at 6am and covered alot of ground before we got back at 4pm....all 114kms, thanks to the trip meter in the Furuno FCV620. The ocean got better as the day went on, and we ventured out as far as the 50m drop off.
Fished a few spots on the way in but found plenty of pickers but no biters.....did pick up a nice skippy at one spot, though.
Back to reality in the morning as the job calls....no work no pay, no pay no fuel, no fuel no fishing. It's a cruel cycle!!

Can we assume the nice size
Can we assume the nice size Queenie you mention missed out on having it's photo taken? Surely you don't mean that little fella you have by the gills that should be released!

55cm queenie
isn't a horse but it was much bigger than the minimum 41cm so I called it a keeper! I did release (without hesitation) a dhuie I caught on Monday that just nudged the 50cm mark. As long as he/she hangs around the spot where I caught it, I'll be back for it in a couple of years when it grows up!!
