<Mindarie Sunday arvo

Gday all - went out of Mindarie at 3pm sunday arvo just to kill a couple of hours, had half a box of squid and a bit of fuel to use. Drifted around the 23m mark west of Marina - no bites at all. Came in to 14m fed a million wrasse and caught two breaksea cod just size then ran out of bait. Saw birds working in 18m north of us so headed over with lures out. Baitfish breaking the surface all around a big area could see big fish on the sounder in small schools directly under the baitfish but they werent interested in the lures, Kept going over the baitfish balls but nothing. Anyway coming back reel screams and I look behind to see the rod buckled right over - you beautie! the mrs had never caught a game fish before so I said "your up" Fish just kept running she's holding on squeeling after only about 5 mins up comes a nice Sambo that totally swallowed the bib lure and measured 88cm. Started trolling again on the way home then bang another strike this one ran and ran then 0- silence - spat the friggin lure -    anyway not a bad way to kill a couple of hours.
