Quick Arvo Run

 Seeing as the wind was dropping yesterday arvo, John F and I decided to go for a quick run out from Mindarie.

Hit the water in Johns boat just after 2.30 and fishing by about 3. Staying in close as it was still a little bumpy from the mornings southery but by the time we headed in it was glass.

 

Hit up a couple of marks in the 30's in close, first spot showed the goods plenty of fish on the sounder, but only 1 just under dhu and 1 little pink to show for me.

Headed off to the 2nd mark and said to John it was only a small lump but does usually have some life.

Well... In an hour or so it was dhu city, big school sitting right on the little lump. We got our 2 keepers and a few undersize. Also managed this fat girl on jig, went 55cm! got a couple on jigs now

 

So for a quick arvo run had 2 dhus and a KG in the esky and not far out, back to the ramp in 15 min or so!

Only one thing to say about Johns new sounder setup, simply amazing...by far the clearest and most accurate sounder I've seen by a mile.

We could pin point single fish and litterally catch what we were seeing. John im coming fishing with you more often!!!
