Five Fathom Saturday 24/03/2012
Went out with mate and brother to look for some new spots on Sat out past ffb, sounding around in 40ish ground...
Found a couple of small spots holding fish, so small that we probably wouldnt have even noticed the change in ground if the sounder wasnt lighting up with fish, causing closer inspection of the ground.
We pulled up; sgt baker, dhuies (4 caught, 2 kept, biggest pictured about 7-8kg?), scorpion fish, sambos (baby up to 10ish kg), variety of wrasse, lots of skippy, lots of small pinkies.
Fished baits mainly (squid and mulie) but also threw some plastics without a lot of success.
Weather was rougher than expected in the morning but by 11 was pretty much as good as it gets.
Baby brother (green shirt) got into his first sambo, and first dhuie. Before Saturday his biggest catch was a 35cm skippy land-based, so needless to say he enjoyed himself. Now that I've taught him to pump and wind, I just need to teach him how to hold a dhuie haha, always copping awkward poses for photos.
Was suprised most of the good fish were taken in the afternoon.
Enjoy
Cheers,
Dave

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.
