Long way for 3 fish!!
Weather looked good to have another crack at the deep stuff. So steamed out the 36 nm from Mandurah and got to an area we have fished before and picked up Nanny's and a few other bits and pieces, but no Cod. Greyband are the target species, but we are still to tick that one off. We managed a crackin' Nannygai at 63cm and a just size Pinky before the Nor Easter picked up outwide. Couldn't hold bottom even with 64 ounces of lead!
Decided to troll back in and check out some new ground in the 90's. By the time we got there the wind had dropped off nicely. Took a sounder shot as I haven't come across bottom like this. Any ideas? Especially the middle section.
Managed a very nice Baldy but fish shows were few and far between.
Long day on the water for 3 fish but beats working eh!!
Especially coming home when it's like this.

Looks like hard ground full of crevasses and holes. My experience is that you often do well without actually marking a lot of fish so always worth a drop!

36nm
36nm that's f/a, we went all the way to Cervantes for 1 60cm snapper yesterday haha.
My spots are so secret even the fish don't know about them !

Yeah we worked about a mile in that depth range and the bottom was like that a lot. Good to know good Dhus come from it. The Baldy come from there so you would think it is good hard bottom. We were thinking maybe limestone pinnacles but didn't get snagged.

Can be real snaggy some days but holds fish.
