One last drop
Went out of Two rocks about a week ago solo, Got on the water early with high hopes, tried Bait and jigs, anchored burley on a few spots that have produced before but not much luck accept a nw blowie on the jig, the pickers didn't even seem to be picking.
Naturally about an hour before I had to head in things glassed off the sounder started to light up and fish started to bite, a slightly undersize blackspot rock cod I believe it was first up, never seen one down here before didn't get a photo so no proof, can anyone confirm that's what it could have been? I thought they were usually a bit further North. Then a small reef shark which took one hook off the paternoster, one hook one last drop and bingo finally something half decent.
Rougly 46cm not huge but still happy as first time I've caught one.

Ripper harley! love it when one comes over the side
they taste as good as they look. Wrap in alfoil (no need to add any other flavour), put on barby hotplate for about 30mins, open alfoil and eat with fork out the back with a cold beer - bloody beautiful!!

Poor man's coral trout I reckon! Nasty set of dentures but nice firm white flesh.
Love the first pic on how the colours came out of the photo
