With the almanac looking GOOD it was decided to do a quick trip to the five for a early morning anchore and burley, with my first Abrohlos trip in four weeks with a few other members i new this would be the last chance to get out.

The BP sausage roll at 430 didnt go down to well with the 2.5m swell, at least i recon as you can see by the first photo, 3 years with the boat and the first time i have came close to sick even with many a time spent on anchore. Apologies for the photo's, i blame the swell. Set up of the burley cage and down with the first scallie, It was taken before hitting the bottom, to my surprise a healthy little dhue was hungrey and swam off strong, with 6am and the sun appearing Jeffs rod started screaming, some quick gaff work by myself seen the boats first shallow water pinky hitting the deck, 72cm and just over 3kg, gezz they fight hard!! quick cube some more mulies and down with some fresh baits, my rod went next with a good hock up and solid fight all the way to the boat.....well lets say 3m from the boat before jumping of!!F^%k, was a way bigger fish!! yes im a fisho so was way bigger than the first . This i believe spooked what ever may have been around after that as the action slowed down, couple of bust off on the grey coats after that!! last bait down found a solid fight to start with before giving up! to surprise again a Morwong of some sort i believe?? he went back and we retuned to the ramp by 8am. Have spent many an early morning beating sunrise for no success, lots of bust off but this the first good pinky, not mine but a PB for the boat!
