Friday arvo pinks
Went out yesterday arvo for some inshore pinks, decide to look for a new spot instead of fishing the few same old spots I have that usually produce. Found a good looking spot in 14m's of water out from hillaries so dropped the pick, got the burley flowing and put out a couple of floaters while I stuffed about. Not long after the floater went off an up come a 60cm dhuie, great start! Put out another floater and then decided to drop down a small rig on a light rod to catch some fresh bait, as soon as it hit the bottom it got smashed hard and it was off on a screaming run. Fought the fish for about 5 mins or so and finally up poped a 75cm pinky on 10lb with a little 1/0 hook in the corner of its mouth, got a bit lucky there I think! Had a few more runs and a few odds and sods until we landed another pinky at 55cm just after dark. With the light gone (forgot the torches and head lamps) and the beer supply running low we headed back in. Took a sounder shot but it's a little blurry, but ill stick it up anyway
