Friday night pinky mission!

Headed out from Woodies with good mate Dean (Dirt) on Friday arvo on a pinky mission! Our plan was to move outside the square of our usual spots inside GI and out between the Islands. We'd been waiting for the right conditions to fish a particular spot at night that we had only fished early morning prior to this with fairly good success boating some good sized pinks, big sambo's and even some yellow tail kings.

Friday night was set perfect with east to north east winds and a falling tide ideal conditions for this spot, we had the boat all set up on anchor by around 5.30 and Dean had thawed out some scallies on the trip out so two rods were immediately deployed and before I could even get the berley pot into the water Deans rod buckles over and the drag starts screaming after a good little tussle first pinky hits the net and measured 680. This was the start of a hot pinky session we bagged out on pinks averaging from 680 to 700 and the biggest going 870 not my biggest but still a great fish.

We had some great fun releasing a few fish and also dropped a horse or two each being dragged into the rocks or our leaders giving out, these pinks were going hard in the 6 metres of water we were in and they were hungry as most of the fish caught had completely swollowed the baits only a couple of fish came to the boat jaw hooked. After a great and very successful pinky mission we decided enough was enough and snuck back over to carnac and tucked in nice and close behind the island out of the wind and settled in for the night with a couple of black cans and plenty of snapper talk!  We can't wait to get out out on this spot again when the opportunity comes especially when there isn't another boat anywhere insite.

Only down full to the night was we couldn't get Dean's big camera to work for some reason so only got a couple of pics take with his phone the next morning at home.

 

Cheers

Paul

 Great night mate, can't wait to get out there again, not even 1 bag of scalies used. Camera is fixed was a lense sensor fault apparently 

When I filleted the snapper I retrieved the circle hooks from the stomach cavity, crazy these things were hungry

Well done Dirt and De-crais, just shows what good fisherman can do, what happened to "no bait on the boat", have you weakened and gone back to the dark side?????????????

Old Banga!

Dirt, congrats on the other good news, looking forward to seeing a "Little Dirt", me thinks he or she will be spoilt rotten and will be into fishing before taking the first steps!!!!!!!!!!!
