Good day on the 3
Went off midarie to the 3 mile... this time instead of going to staggies reef for kings we headed towards alkimos in the hope of a dhuie or two. Saw bird activity but bait went deep by the time we rocked up.
there was a gd mix of fish all day. skippys, wrasse, and small break seas everywhere. got onto a school of pinkies, which where on 48cm went back alive and well. I personally think 1/2meter size limit for snapper is rediculus.. this 480 that went back was solid with its own little lump on its head. I think if u cant take a fish that decent home whats the point.. but anyways kept fishing, dad got a decent break sea. boat drifted onto sand and I got a yellow tail king (they are everywhere atm). last drop of the day was drifting wrass fillets for dhuies with no weight, produced a very nice harlequin cod. All in all a gd day out, seems the last few trips there has been decent fish all in 12-15m of water 3 mile off ocean reef, mindarie, and two rocks
Im intrestead to know what else is been caught on the 3 lately, feel free to add!!

Good to see
Good to see some quality fish from shallow water. A top feed for sure.
