Friday - better than working

I took the day off today when I saw the weather was looking good and went for a scout around to try and understand my sounder more.  Sounded over what looked like fish showing but couldn't manage to anchor on top of the show. Found a lot of bottom junk but then switched to fishing the top and boated about 10 skippy around 1kg. Good fun on the PE1 gear - all fish were released. Took off for another look around and tried a few other shows without much success.

Decided to head to my tried and true spot to see what the ground looked like where I had done well in the past. While it didn't look overly different in terms of the bottom, it did show some fish in mid water and also the bottom. Threw out some floating squid baits and was mauled by the skippy again. All good fun size fish, albeit a bit smaller than earlier in the day. When they went quiet I switched to peeled coral prawns and it fired them up again. Caught so many I put that rod in the rack for a breather.

Since I had been using the same squid baits over and over I a few whole squid left so decided to put large baits out to see what would happen. Managed to pick up an undersize Dhu and 2 cod. One I know is a breaksea, can anyone tell me if the yellow coloured one is still the same or a different variation? It was quite a bit bigger than the breaksea. Again, all fish were released.

Anyhow, it was a good fun day and way better than being at work!

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.
