Well the eastlies are back in the morning at the moment, so it was time to head out for a fish. Had to go on a solo fish today,as Claire is over racking up the cc in Darwin at the moment. Headed about 6 mile from the ramp, in search for some new ground. I like going fishing by ones self sometimes, as its just great cruzing around with the tunes playing, watching the sounder for something special.

Being a full moon at the moment i was expecting the current to be pretty bad, but the current and wind were working against each other, which made for a good drift speed. Found some nice ground in 20m, blue flares coming up off the highest peaks. I ran a few drifts, but nothing was biting on squid. I had some mulies there that i have carted out the last couple of trips, and decided to give them a try. Well what do you know bites galore !  Pulled some saddletail off this spot, and then left it on the bite for another day.

Then headed in close to Conexion island, in a around 10m of water.Lots of bolders and weed showing on the sounder. Been told by a local here, that coral trout like this sort of ground here, so i thought i would give it a try. After drifting for a couple of minutes, i had a good run and soon a nice coral trout was in the ice box. Drifted a bit further to only pick up a decent sized fingermark and another saddletail.

Being happy with what i had caught, i then threw the lures over and trawled back to the ramp....where are the bloody mackies!
