My Dad and I took off from Woodman Point at first light and made our way towards Rotto.  We did a couple of drifts over one of my favourite grounds and managed to catch a snapper and dhufish on soft plastics before the wind and swell settled enough to anchor.  After anchoring we introduced burley to the swim and started catching a few undersized fish.  

After a while the bites stopped and I mentioned to the oldman that there were possibly sharks in the area.  This was confirmed after at least five decent runs with short fights were rewarded with frayed mono minus the hardware.  I decided to bring out the heavy artillary to see if I could land one of these toothy critters and in the process hooked a decent snapper on a chunk of salmon that I was using for bait. As the snapper popped up to surface a tiger shark tried to make an easy meal out of it.  With my Dad manning the landing net I rapidly brought the snapper to "safety" before having to share my dinner with the "taxman".  The tiger was not happy as it circled the boat for a while before giving up on the snapper.  

I did manage to get my Dad into a decent bronzie for his trophy cabinet before we made our way home. A quick stop on Five Fathom Bank and my Dad managed a salmon which was not part of the plan.  All said, another enjoyable on the waters of Perth Metro.
