Thank goodness for retirement as today gave a real opportunity to enjoy what has been really scarce good conditions.  Launched well before dawn and to the moron who went out with NO lights whatsoever honestly FFS.....you were invisible !   I headed out initially to the high 30's but bites were really scarce apart from a good KGW and some fox fish very little doing. The wind dropped to nothing making drifting impossible so I headed out deeper and simply sounded until I found a good show....actually the screen lit up ......dropped three baits all of which were monstered within seconds.....what to do when you are by yourself, took what I thought was the biggest expecting a good dhuie but pulled up a stonka baldie, second rod going ape so fought that fish to the surface , a good dhuie around 8kg but the final rod was now bent double making it hard to get out of the rod holder, now this was a fish, deep surging runs with strong tail beats.......a male fish over 94cm so the smaller one went back and swam away strongly.  Came home at 26 Knots @ a nautical mile to the litre....just love the yammy!
