Monday on the D9
While i was trout fishing 2 of my workers headed to Cockburn sound looking to catch a snapper. I gave them directions to my secret spot , i nicknamed it the D9. Directions were ( Launch at Woodies, head south, when you see 30+ boats gathered in one spot , you are there )
Bloody pingers found my secret spot again 
They set up to fish trying not to crowd any other boats , lol
They watched a few fish landed but were not having any luck, with some advice from a FW member ( keep trying ) they persisted until they got a run. Lost that fish (not to a shark ) and kept trying until one was finaly boated.

Soon Chad had his fish on the boat too
The guy's were very happy with a fish each and decided to call it a day . They just had to come by work to show off to me and brag about thier catch.
Well done guy's for being happy with one fish each and packing it in. Not well done for turning up to brag about it. Guess which 2 workers got to clean the toilet's today, ha ha sometimes it's good to be the boss .

Bloody hell look at how close
Bloody hell look at how close that boat is in the second pic, surely both boats aren't at anchor there? Great fish but not my style of fishing that's for sure!

I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

Altough it pretty common to
Altough it pretty common to see 500 + boats all in one clump in Port Phillip Bay in the victorian snapper season I have never seen boats so close to one another, that is ridiculous. How many fish are lost to anchor ropes etc?

I'm still trying to work out
I'm still trying to work out that second photo, surely the boat in front must be dropping their lines right onto the boys anchor rope?? I've seen alot more boats out there than that but I've never seen them so close to each other. Thats just ridiculous
