Five fathom report
A brief report from a trip that a mate and I did out at the FFB recently.
Was blowing a bloody gale out but decided to give it a whirl anyway as the swell was low. Ended up with 3 decent pinkies, 2 good tailor (one really good), a bronzie and the usual smaller stuff.
Snapper went pretty hard on fairly light gear, but was using the heavier kit for the shark (was trying for his big brother) so wasnt much of a challenge there.
Let 1 pinkie go, and hosted a shark bbq the following day - shark burgers were awesome! You can tell by the pic of the shark that I got a bit carried away with the iki jimi, but the thing was never going to fit in the esky and I wasnt sitting it on the deck next to my foot till I knew it was dead for sure!
Used a tailor head and a herring together for the shark and mulies for the rest

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

Best way to stop the shark is to cut its through its spine in a line across from just back from its eyes.
Good eating size pinkies.

Hey mate nah sorry didnt get pics of the tailor out there, and by the time they came back in their heads had been used as bait so not much of a photo!
