Harlequin saves the day

 Out early this morning to throw some plastics around behind Garden Island, just drifting over some nice looking spots was getting to the stage mid morning where I was thinking that I couldn't even catch a cold when I finally hooked a reasonable size wrasse, decided bugger the plastics and cut the wrasse up and put it on a bottom meat, half hour later landed my PB harlequin, one of my favourite eating fish.
