Moore than expected in one morning

 Hit Moore river last night with a mate in hope of pulling an all-nighter which went out the window as we encountered an unfishable amount of weed.

After only bagging a couple tailor we decided to sleep on it and try again in the morning, expecting the predicted SE's to blow the weed out making the beach fishable.

I woke before dawn and deployed the burley which consisted of some of Mick's mulie shred along with a block of old mulies. Not long after sunrise a small spinner hit the beach taken on a live grunter and hopes were lifted. 

With the pickers ravenous and calm conditions we decided live bait was the go and attempted to catch a few whiting which we succeeded in doing, sending the biggest back with a couple 5/0 circles in it only to have it scream off no more than 5 minutes later. I picked up the rod and handed it to my mate who hadn't caught a good fish before.

After peeling near on 200m and not looking like stopping anytime soon we called it for a decent shark but managed to gain line and eventually get it back into the surf where it was identified as a sambo. As I tailed it I noticed it had a mate in tow which we managed to get half an hour later. Both put up a cracking fight and went back unharmed.

A great end to a quick trip away, can't wait to get back up there soon.

 Cheers Pirate, probably my favorite beach too, always provides some excitement.

I use grapnel sinkers so usually don't have an issue with holding unless there is weed in the water, allows you to fish a lighter sinker still with good holding power
