lazy sunday pinkies and rdo monday dhuie
sunday morning left the boat ramp around 10am with the cold mornings :) travelled for around 1 hr with not much showing on the sounder, fished a mark in the 60ft for a small sambo and a rock cod with little to no drift around 12:30-1 the westerly picked up enough for some drift, so sounded around again found a few schools of pinkies in the with most the fish 55's as well which gave a few hours of fun and 2 undersize dhies in the mix
RDO today so this morning headed out around 9am and headed to some new ground i marked coming back in a few months ago but the day it was marked it was getting dark so didn't drop a line so been waiting on the weather to get back out there . with a bit of chop took around 1 and a half hours , about half a n/m before some nice activity showed on the sounder 3 drops and only a small nibble so carried on. arrived at the mark and nothing showed up wondered why i'ld gone deeper when i'ld gotten into some fish the day before closer . started travelling into some spots incloser that i knew had produced in the mean time watching the sounder around 1n/m in the ground changed by this time around 11:30 knowing i had to be in intime to pick the kids up from school and running out of time to ancor and burley in closer decided to give it a drift the second i put it into nuetral the screen light up like a christmas tree , dropped down and as it hit the bottom whack but at some stage in free spool down the alvey had over spun and had 2 wraps around the handle and drag lever managed to sort it but with the fight was calling it for a sambo so was a nice sight to see a double header dhuie come to the surface one in the eskie(guesstimate 12kg after a small shark around 200mm and a squid regergitated on the boat floor) , one around 3-4kg released .drive back drop another 3-4 kg dhuie release than decided to head in as i was on my own so could only keep the one and don't like the reduced chances of survival to keep fishing .it had glassed off by now so it was full noise back to the ramp so ened up with 2 and a half hours travel and a an hour at the max fish so still need a fix yet had a few good days and the freezer restocked
