Mixed bag today-Mandurah
Got out today,
For a fish with the usual deckie (bro in law). Left the marina at 6:15. Looked like a nice day, but the further we got out the rougher it got (surprise, surprise ;). We pushed on and pulled up on some non discript ground we hadn't tried for about a year. First drop of the day and Doug is onto a beauty, taking line with ease, he had it on for about a minute and from the head shakes and runs we were calling it for a real nice Pinky. Unfortunately the hooks pulled. I got the next good bite and up popped a very plump Pinky that went 54cm. We got a few more undersize Pinkies and a few undesirables.
Decided to check out some ground that seems to always hold a few fish, but the sounder was pretty quiet, on what usually holds a few fish. After a bit of moving around the fish seemed to be holding off the main structure. We managed a nice mixed bag (we.... being Doug, because after my Pinky, I got sfa). Ended up up with 3 u/size Dhu's and 1 that was right on 50cm...released. A Big Black Arse, my one and only size Pinky, A Queen Snapper, a lovely KG Whiting and 2 Harlequins, biggest one kept
Was another awesome day on the water. No trophy fish. But good times with good friends.
Cheers
Chris.

Hi Mallesh
We got 3 undersize ones mate and one right on 50 put that one back too, as they're all head, hardly worth keeping them at that size. Imo.
