mandurah 28/5

hi guys

well we finally got on to some fish off mandurah, being such a perfect day we decided to head out to the 50mt line which is a bloody long way out in a 4.75 but it was the best conditions i have seen in a long time.

we started fishing around 8.00am and caught a couple of skippy and that was it for that spot so we went in a little bit shallower around the 40-45mt mark and this is where the action started first drift we got 3 pinkys and a massive sambo which was a awesome surprise as we were bottom bouncing baits it is the biggest fish i have ever caught and my first sambo ever aswell so i have set the bar high to beat that. at a guess it would of been 30+ kg's.

2nd drift and another 3 pinky's and a black bum as well as a couple of skippys. 3rd drift some more skippys and a massive bust off just before we could see colour guessing a sambo. the water glassed off now and the fish went off the bight pretty quick so moved on to a couple more spots with not muc success. most fish were returned to see another day only kept what you can see in the pic.

and to the bloke that abused us for pinching his spots we also have spent alot of time/money on the water searching for spots and we were only fishing spots on our gps which happend to be within 50mt to you on the first spot which was a quick look around before we went to our main spot. when we got to our main spot which im guessing you assumed we followed you out there as we left not long after you from the first spot, we were a good 500mt away from you as this was the spot marked on the gps then you steamed over to us and lost your rocks for no real reason so grow up mate your not the only one that deserves to fish these spots which we caught sfa on anyway.

cheers

Pretty sure I've seen the knifejaws diving at Rotto and Pickering has a record for spearing them. He is good and all, but not probably 200m good!
