Friday fishing
Went out today for a look see if the fish were on the bite. Picked up Menopaul at five , Headed out just before sunup ,was a flat morning with just a slight bit of south chop left from yesterdays sea breeze .Only a short run to the first patch ,but no one was home ,not a lot on the sounder. So we headed out towards the bank, to work some deeper patches. The next patch showed a little colour, it didn't take long and I was on but after a few hard dives and some headshaking I realised it was a sambo ,quick photo and back to the deep .
Next drop ahhhhhhhhhh yes more sambos ,then a large ray, then a carpet shark .Time to move all fish released from this patch .Next patch and our first dhuie around 550mm released . mmmmmmmm now where were the big ones , not much on the sounder anywhere ,Next patch and things started looking good with menopaul getting a 11kg
and me a 12kg dhuie.
Jesse and menopaul picked up a couple of nice baldies, around 3kg .
The icebox had some fish in at last ,another drift a one more dhuie around 600mm released. Time to move back in closer as things went a little quiet ,stopped at a couple of patches on the way in, Menopaul got a 10kg dhuie , Jesse got the 9kg dhuie on his light rod and the breeze was now up to 18 knots I was a little concerned he would lose this fish , so up with the lines and reversed back to take the pressure of his line, only being 9kg .Did well to land that one with water splashing over the back, and the boat rolling around ,top job
. Time to head for home , another great day .made up for the crap weather we have been having.

Nice work boys. When you say
Nice work boys. When you say bank do you mean SW Bank or FFB?
Some nice fish there - well done. All we got were the little sambo brothers of yours, a harly and a foxfish on the FFB.
Still a very nice day on the water.
Cheers,
Ado

Nice rewards for your effort there Paul. Wind came in early didnt it?
Paul fishes out of 2 Rox so I would think it would be Direction Bank.

Top fish Paul
What water depth did you start finding the dhuies? The last 2 trips we havent landed a dhuie and we havent gone deeper than 35mtrs as the wind has been crap.

Found the fish in 40-42 meters 14mile out ,we didn't get the wind till 12:00 ,it was 4 knots all morning hardly any drift. Yes Tim direction bank, on the inside edge ,we also got the last two dhuies around 8 mile out . allthough the day was a good one there was not a lot of action on the sounder i did see a lot of mulies inside the bank , thought we may have seen some tuna .won't be long .

Great work again
I wasn't sure if I was looking at an old post after seeing the dates on the pics, then I saw Jesse's haircut and I knew it must have been a new lot of pics.
Glad to see you guys got out and got into them.
