With the wonderful forcast of light sea breezes and sunshine I decided to take "Rayman" and "Skip" up on their offer of a fish today out in the sound.

Skip looked pretty bad with a monster hangover and rayman was a bit late, the conditions were superb with a 25knot westerly blowing and a slight cloud cover and I was just itching to get out there.

Rayman dropped anchor out on a lump in the middle of the sound whilst skip was whinging about being crook and threatening to outfish me for the day, we started our burley trail and put the baits out, not long after I boated a 56cm pinkie and tore the piss out of skip who could only manage a few 20cm trevally.

Next up Rayman hooked upto what seemed a decent fish and skip was having a huge battle with a massive 18cm herring, some minutes later I released a beautiful eagle ray of about 15kg for the "RAYSLAYER" whilst skip rebaited.

After about an hour my line starts to tighten up and I'm on, you beauty! after a few minutes a nice 70cm pink hits the esky, not to be outdone tho skip pulls a monster pink so a photo is in order, congrats, beers, hand shakes and back slapping all round on skips magnificent capture, top effort mate.

 Happy with our snapper in such lovely conditions we decided entre's was in order so we headed accross the mirror calm sound to the islands at a rate of about 8 knotts, fairly flying we were.

Thanks Rayman & Skippy for a good day out in such wonderfull conditions, it was total fun!!!

Skips massive pink

 Skip lost a bit of hair due to rubbing in the roof of the cab, diji is a bad man and needs to carpet the ceiling to stop such terrible chaffing.

Score for the day was

Al 2 nice pinks & a couple of squid

Diji a few squid & a ray

Boofhead, a sore arse, head & some herring, squid, skippy and his biggest fish to date, a magnifficent 20cm snapper.

Cheers, Al.
