Golden afternoon...after a quick 20 min fish!
Well what can I say! We woke this morning to a gentle eastly blowing at 5am. Claire went to work, and I headed back to bed. It was hard to go back to sleep knowing the fishing conditions were great on the water. Well, I finally got up and 10am and there was still a gentle eastly blowing. So I rang Claire and asked her if she was keen for a quick fish after work..."Of Course" she said.
I picked Claire up at work at 1610, we hooked the boat up and left the boat ramp at 1630. We then travelled to our spot which took us 20 mins. We had hooks baited and went for our first drift over this tiny lump I had found last trip. Claire was on straight away, a good fish and made her work hard to get him up. It turned out to be a golden trev around 60cm. Just as it got to the surface it jumped and so did a shark, and just about landed in the Traily! Claire asked me what we should do if one landed in the boat?? I said.... just get up the front of the boat!
Anyway she baited up and sent her bait to the bottom. Bang she was on again and landed a nice Golden Snapper around 55cm. She was happy, as it was the first one she has caught.
After Claire's arms stopped shaking, we headed for another drift. This time it was Wade's turn!
After some great rod work by myself I to had a nice Goldy on board as well.....cant have the Mrs showing me up can i Russ!
We were more than happy with what we had caught in 10 mins of fishing and decided to have one more drift on another spot 200m away, where we usually catch Saddle Tail. This time we both hooked up, and we had fun trying not to let our braid rub thru on each other. We then boated another 2 Golden Snapper...we couldnt get away from the buggers!
I took a look at my watch and it was 1710. I said to Claire " I think its time to head home" as we had a caught our share of fish for the day, and we didnt want to rape our new mark.....GOLDYSPOT01. It was the best 20 min fishing session I have ever had...and after a high five with the Mrs we headed home. Got back to the ramp at 1730, then waited for ET's fishing guides to drive their boat on the trailer. After about 10 attempts..they finally got it...I had to hold back from clapping I tell ya!
We had another great day on the water (well 1 hour really), and the boat is still hooked up to the 4wd in the back yard...as I'm thinking why not go fishing tommorw morning!

Bloody lovely, Gotta love the late arvo quick fish that produces something nice.... Always a great feeling when ya get home... sometimes you wish it was that easy all the time sometimes....Nice size too.
Are these the same as fingermark? or similar? I notice the marking on them the same? Get a few smaller sized ones around broome. Nothing that big but.(not me anyway).

Nice catch Wade. Looking like you're getting out there often which is great (and seem to be getting into a lot of fish too).

Sitting here in Perth and watching you catch magnificent fish is very hurtful. I am very jealous. Great work

Great Stuff Wade
Awesome arvo session. Your a lucky bloke having a missus that enjoys fishing. Quality hour on the water.
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.
