A good day out..
Headed out yesterday chasing some whiting with the option of heading wide for a deep drop if the wind backed off.
So headed out to 18mts west of Hillarys and sent berley pot over then up came whiting.. got about a dozen which is plenty for me..
A quick check of weather forcast and and decided to head wide hoping the gurus at the bureau were having an accurate day..
not really having any marks out wide (but I have tripped over a couple fish on the couple trips i have made wide) I headed out to where I caught fish before.
since last trip I have upgraded my sounder to a FCV295 with a 2kw transducer (All the gear with no idea.. thats the way i roll 
)
anyway get out to mark I had and had a couple drops... unfortunately I am still learning with my new sounder and couldn't get the bottom (more study need!!!)
lucky my trusty HDS 10 was working along with its TM260..
fist spot didn't have any luck but the weather had improved with little drift (no sea anchor needed) so I slowly started to search , after 20min the sounder showed some promise so with a few laps of new spot to check and get slow drift pattern set I had my first drop on this new ground.
Bingo first drop up comes a 70cm greyband !!!!! $#@% $#@% stoked, a few more drifts with a couple of spinny greeneye (plus missing a few good bites) I finally got hooked up and this was a good fight all the way t the surface...
very supprised not another rec bot in sight out wide..

Nice catch
Got to love it when the weather plays the game and the fish also.
Nice feed you have there.
Sometimes when the water is quiet, you can hear the fish laughing at you !
