Morning fishing trip off Exxy
here we go i got the bug again after the little outing with Adam a few days ago in the gulf. My son Alex and i went out the back of north west reef for a spot of bottom fish, was not good at all {15\18 knots} Alex was sick in the first 10 mins so i thought i would wander in to the back of the reef. As we got close to the reef i put out 2 divers out for some macs, 2mins later it was screaming off, alex was straight up and on to the rod. A few mins later he had his first Mactuna on board, a quick photo and he swam off. As we looked up there was a bait ball getting pushed towards us ,alex was straight on the only rod with a casting lure on it {little bugger} first cast and he was on, an awesome queeny was launching it self out of the water, left and right and all around the boat. He finally landed the monster, I'm so proud of my little man, he had a smile from ear to ear. We went back to the ramp and were home by 11am, a good little session for a sunday morning.

PS :Alex is so proud he has a queeny bigger than mine

Good one
Good one Alex, you are catching bigger fish at your age than your father was. Still I suppose he didn't have a chance to go as often and in a real hot fishing spot as you do.
Well done.
