Hi Crew,

Havent posted in a while so I thought I put up some pics from last week and today.

We went over to Rotto last week with MetroLBfisher and another mate, I had my brand new Stratic 5000 with me and was keen to break it in. We went to a reefy spot north of Rotto and I we started drifting. After a few smaller fish I landed my first eva Harlequin Fish. That was a great start for my new reel!! And later that day I got another sized Dhue! My other mate had a nice double header with a breaksea cod and a hughe kg. And MetroLBfisher caught a nice sambo on sp's and a small blacktip on bait.

Today we went over again but a bit further to the westend. I had a nice double header with a Breaksea cod and what I thougth was a big wrasse. I was just about to cut it up for bait when Jamie (MetroLBfisher) said it is a Foxfish. After a quick check in the book it went in the esky rather then on the baitboard.

Jamie also got a nice hookup on his softplastic. It run for a bit and and after a couple of minutes we saw some color and it was the the first decend sized Snapper on my boat! And that was the first snapper I have seen been caught on a sp!! One day I gona have to try them as well!

On the way back we decided to try one last time for Snapper at the inner reefs. We got to one of my spots and the wind was going a little. With the wind the drift would have been to quick and I thought I might have to anchor up. I saw a sandy spot in the mittle and I went for it with the anchor. Even after I thought to myself it could be a bit tricky. And sure enough once we tried to pull the anhcor back up it was well and truly jamed. After about 10 fruitless minutes pulling on it from different directions I gave up and cut the rope (once more in my life) but well , thats part of it!

All up we had two great days out there!

Cheers

Seb
