Productive Day out on Monday

 Went out on Monday with my mate Matt (FW member).

Left the ramp at around 7:45 and had a very rough trip out to the 3 mile, wondering if the forecasted wind drop was ever going to happen.

Anchored up on top of the reef, got 3 blackarse (one of which was legal - 35cm) and a few wrasse but nothing more.

After around an hour the anchor had slipped and the spot gone dead so we moved a few hundred metres to the south and dropped the pick once again.

We sight fished a couple of skippy, hooking quite a few but only landing 2 (one to me on the pen rod - great fun  )

 

 

And a couple of sambos on live wrasse which measured 86 and ~105 cm.

Not long after a noah of around 2.5m turned up and circled the boat for a good 30 mins or so.  Think it was a bronzie but not 100%

Hooked what was called for a pink, saw colour, only for it to spit the hooks 

Finished off with a quick 20 min C&R tailor sesh in sh*thouse conditions, hooking 2, landing 1

All in all not a bad day, had sambo curry and fish cakes for dinner, didn't taste too bad, will definitely give them ago again should the opportunity present itself 

Cheers

Hutch
