Last Exmouth Day with Deepwater
Probably my last serious day of fishing in Exxy, headed out with good mate Jeff (Deepwater) looking for some table fare. Got to the deep spot and first drop resulted in a grey band that tangled with the other line, whilst untangling a shark took hold of the bait half way up and busted it off, not a good sign. Decided to have one more drop which resulted in the inevitable, ruby sharked and time to move. :(
Got to the next spot which was littered with goldband and rosies, managed to pick up 5 and a few bits and pieces before the sharks moved in again. Must say I have never seen them this bad in my 5 and a bit years in Exxy. We decided to troll for an hour to try and get back up near the passages incase the northerly came. Unfortunately no action so zoomed up to the goldy spot and picked up the last of our bag limit, trolled for another hour with no love, tried the trout spots to find the fish well on the bite but just couldn't get through the small stuff to the good fish. Ended up with a couple more back breaking sharks before deciding to give it another hour and a bit of trolling to get a bill, again with no luck.
Overall a bloody great day and has been awesome sharing the last few years fishing (and drinking) with you Jeffro.
Cheers,
Adam

Nice one - shame about the
Nice one - shame about the sharks!
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

Sandbar
Thickskin whaler i think. Just distortion from the water as that was still quite a way down, just unbelievable water clarity.

yep
as Adam said, thickskin whaler (or sandbar shark), prolific all the way up to the Kimberly's, from kneedeep out to 200meters, deepest we fished for them up there.
They have a big dorsal as well but doesnt show on the pic there.
Give a man a mask, and he'll show you his true face...
The older you get the more you realize that no one has a f++king clue what they're doing.
Everyone's just winging it.

Farewell trip
Still an awesome day by the average punter's standards. You'll have built up enough knowledge to do well in K Town without a doubt.
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.
