Inshore Dhu
Week 3 of LSL. Got to Hillarys solo this morning and started rigging up thinking how I'm gonna avoid getting wet and some shirtless bloke appears out of nowhere. I offer him a trip out but he's got his heart set on swimming in the water I'm trying to avoid so we have a quick chat and part ways. Nice to meet you Uncle.
Drove to the gap and there's barrels peeling either side. Nup. Headed down to some ground around the south cardinal maker and then Hale Reef but the wind and swell was putting me off even chucking out my sea anchor and I was drifting fast. Trolled along the back of the reef for nought and after seeing swells starting to stand up in 10m I decided for the safety inside the reef.
Decided on an area I had sounded out previously and set a drift in the dropping wind with a drift baited squid and I got a hit so picked up the rod trying so, so hard not to strike with my circle hooks and after a half decent fight I bring up the first size dhu I've caught from ground I sounded out.

Wings and ribs were harvested
Wings and ribs were harvested but the cheeks weren't worth the effort and I've kept the frame and head for a fish stew.
