PB Pink this morning

 Left Mindarie before sunrise this morning to try and catch that elusive legal size snapper. Apart from the boat losing all lighting (including the GPS) twice! it was an ok trip out (all of 1.5 miles ha ha) into about 10m of water. Set up the rods, got some berley going and waited for the sun to come up.

I was in anticipation of my newly spooled up combo with the 20lb braid on my old faithful overhead stick. The snapper had other ideas though and decided my lightweight outfit with a small piece of unweighted occy was more to its liking. Took some angling to boat it on a Diawa Laguna 4-12lb rod with a crest 2500 reel and an owner circle hook but I was stoked to say the least! 63cms!

The rest of the day was ok with a few breaksea cod (one on a plastic) a small dhu dropped at the boat and a monster sambo that ate a live wrasse that couldn't be stopped. The wind made it pretty sloppy out there today but I was happy anyway.
