Great day with 3 generations

Took the old man and young bloke out for a fish. Top day out, back just after lunch after we caught more than enough.

Sounder looked good when we stopped.

Young bloke with a nice queenie (released) and then 73 cm dhu (not released....yummo).

The old man then got in the action with a size dhu released and pinkie that got snaffled by a toothie right on the surface.

Smokey Joe Submarine cruised by, we could hear and see it from miles away with smoke (steam) pissing out of it......classic Collins class I presume.....even the Yanks could find and sink this heap of crap! haha.

Ended with a KG fish where the action was hot, and landed several up to 52 cm, and got a nice 76cm dhu on the KG gear that went quite well!

Can you tell me what you caught of the place where you took the sounder pic, just wondering what the are.
Thanks.Subs don't use steam engines any more they are diesel/electric and what you saw was most likely diesel exhaust just thought I'd give you a bit of useless information.

Yeah, did not mean to suggest

Yeah, did not mean to suggest it was a steam engine, just pissing steam out.....although I would not be surprised If the Collins class still uses a steam engine......haha.

 Nice bag John. Those subs are actually very effective when they are in action. My brother served on one for 6 months doing an intel trip and war games with the yanks. Reckons they sunk a few of their ships during the exersizes.
