Mindarie Thursday Night
Submitted by Madmerv on Fri, 2015-06-26 07:52
Took a chance and risked getting smashed by "The swell of the decade". Launched at Mindarie in the mid arvo and headed to the 20"s hoping to burly up some nice snapper as the sun went down.
Really was trying to beat Gilly's 780mm from the other night.
Fished right up to 9:30pm for a total bag of 1 skippy.
The monster swell did not appear, and neither did the snapper.
We did manage to test our gear out on some large rays, scorpion fish (stacks of them around ATM), and other reef pickers.
Beautiful weather out there with the wind down and a gentle swell rolling through.
There wa 8 trailers in the carpark when we launched so how did you guys go??

Challenged
Dont be getting crazy there Gilly. I've seen your photo's and i'm not dumb enough to challenge you...
We did spend about an hour inside 3 mile drifting but the swell was up a bit and hearing the waves crashing in the dark was a bit off puting.
