my garden island getaway

finally got to head ova to the back of garden island tonight after charming a naval cop into taking me with him and it was everything i had hoped for. nice deep gutter surrounded by reef with an opening at the end, beauty. one of the deepest beaches i have ever fished it was all quiet until the sun went down then it was ON!!!

for me new mate with chopper tailor nothing for me bar a small breaksea. at about 9 i had the first decent run and it turned out to be the biggest portjackson i have ever seen about 5ft long then next cast zzzzzzzzz"ping" something busted me on the reef that happened another 2 times until i landed a small wobbiegong straight in the bucket with him i cant say no to fresh wobby so i had my fish so i let my mate fish on his own (while i cleaned my fish) and he managed a little soapy mulloway that put a cap on the night.

then came the downside of the night. a big wave rushed up the beach and swept everything around.  we didnt lose anything but we got pretty dam wet (the ocean wanted its wobby back haha) and i think my slammer took its last slam. will have to get it checked out but all up it was a good night and the good news is i have been asked back.  he probably knows that he would get cheap bait from me haha 

 no pics sorry didn't take my camera
