Hi Crew,

Had an interesting couple of days out on the water.  Heading out west of the Muirons yesterday doing the solo I was greeted by sharks at 6 of my spots ranging from 40m to 70m, was pretty bloody un-impressed.  Ended up with one small coronation that I kept and threw a heap of red throats, small but sized spanglies and one just size red that I felt sorry for back.  Everything that was decent went to the noahs and the two really good fish I got past them were dropped half way up (wasn't happy).  Still did a bit of recon and was happy finding some new spots.

Headed out late today around lunch time with my mate Mick and the plan was to head south of Tantas.  First two spots in the 60's produced sharks on the first drops (unbelievable) so we decided to head deep and give the rubies a crack.  Needless to say it was magic out there, free jumping marlin, pods of spinner dolphins wanting to play and lots of whale activity and next to no drift so we could just sit on the spot.  We stayed there for a while until we had some decent fish in the bag (Mick needed some for a coming Perth trip), even though they weren't big rubies, they still put some hurt on and made for some entertainment.  Highlight would have to have been the two whales that did 4-5 laps of the boat just sitting underneath us (was a bit worried for a while) watching us, watching them - was a rather surreal experience in really blue clear water.  We then went back into the shallows to try again, the first spot the sharks had moved out of and a heap of smallish spango's had moved in.  We kept a few of the bigger ones (nothing solid though) and moved in closer as the northerly started picking up.  First drop on the spot produced a nice rankin for Mick and gave us our bag limit, on that we headed back to the ramp at 28 knots and before the rain moved in.  Got back and had the fish and boat cleaned by 5.30, a pretty good day on the water.

Cheers,

Adam
