Hey guys. 
had a week up in monkey Mia, and the wife was generous enough to allow me 2 days to fish! Luckily the 2 days I went out turned out to have some of the best conditions I have ever experienced! Glass offs, not a breath of wind. Have only ever had one day out of Denham before as last years trip was ruined by a cyclone, but was keen to replicate the lack I got last time. Went in with no marks, so was a bit of a learning curve!

firat day out was from monkey mia with the father in law. Headed up to the point. Got pretty excited with the first fish of the day feeling pretty big but the excitement some turned comical when it came to the boat! Lol.

moves positions, found some nice blue lined emperor. A decent black snapper, and father in law scored a double header of ok rankin, bigger one being about 56cm. Caught 4 more about 35-40, so threw them back as wanted to let them grow for next year! ( was only in 6m of water so don't think barotrauma was going to be a big issue. Swan off great.)

achool Mack we're like a plague, but we're great fun, esp for the in law as not really a fisho. 
came across 2 big bust ups and missed 3 opportunities on big macks! Sight carded to the schools but for absolutely smashed on 3 seperate hookups! By the time I swapped to heavier gear they were gon. Spewing! But was excited. 
 

next outing was. From Denham. Headed out to upper part of dirk Hartog where I got the Mack last year. Bait everywhere with birds diving but no fish under them. Faffwd around for a while teolling and casting to the bait schools but nothing. 
 

went in close dishes some ground for a nice black snapper, and caught a few baby pinkies, then the sharks started smoking me. 
 

aftwr much searching found some deeper ground. Pulled up nice cod, and good emperor then sharks... lost 2 really good fish so moved in . Disappointing as the ground was buzzing!

found another wicked spot, pulled up a 68cm pink snapper. 
then did another drift and got a double header if 65cm pinkies and also the floater out the back went off at the same time so had 3 60-65 cm pinkies flapping all over the boat! Needless to say 2 went back. First world problem lol!

had a good feed and was getting into early arvo so started motoring back at 35 knots, didn't even have to hold the steering wheel!

saw a bust up and this time there were big splashes under! Stopped and cast an unweighted mulie. And the water exploded! 30 mins later had a massive tuna at the boat! Would have been comical watching me try to gaff it and controll it myself! Maxed out my scales which go up to 25kg. Was epic on an outfit set up mainly for dollies at the fads lol! I was stoked! Burned back home with my heart racing. 
cant wait to go back!

photos don't do it justice,( note, I'm 6'2 and about 88kg) wife needs to practice her photography but the girth was huge! I'm thinking between 28-30kg.

stipped in Kalbarri for A few night son way back, went spearing with a mate, I need to work on accuracy. Got buzzed by a decent shark in the way in which is a new experience for me which I'm not keen to repeat lol! Not sure if it was the shark shield or the poke with the spear that sent it off, but I swam to shore pretty quick!
