Mixed bag to end the year

Mate Nic and I managed to get in one last fishing session for the year of 2014. Launching at the wee hours of the morning ensured that we were fishing just after sunrise. The initial drift resulted in no takers mainly due to the brisk wind and we decided to drop anchor close to a likely looking bommie. After burleying we started catching bread and butter species and within two hours we had our quota for the day. A just legal sized Dhufish was followed by two Snapper(one kept), a Baldchin Groper, a Harlequin Fish and a Breaksea Cod (released). Nic also managed to catch a large Port Jackson Shark, two Fiddler Ray and a decent Sambo before the wind became too unbearable.

On our way back to Woodman Point we noticed some bird activity and decided to investigate. Tuna were smashing baitfish and it took a couple of seconds to tie a Halco Twisty to the end of one of the lines and cast out into the frenzy. First cast and we were on. In the short 15 minute session before the fish disappeared we managed to boat three of these keen fighters.

A great way to finish off 2014 with a good feed to keep us going for a week or two.

Here's to a successful and safe 2015 with heaps of fish and plenty of releases.
