Decided to head out on Saturday, the weather wasnt looking the best, but the winds were pretty good.

Up at 4.30am, and on the way to the ramp a little after 5.

Launched and on our way out by 5.45.
Little slowish out, being pitch black, rain about and a little more wind than expected but cruised out at about 25knots.

Headed 20 or so mile out in search of some KG's and dhus.

First stop, was where i got a big KG during the week, and this time didnt dissappoint, with this big fat KG on the first drop to Sean, not even on the bottom for 10 seconds!!! this boy took a whole californian squid!!

picked up a few more bits and pieces and a small dhu off this spot, but not much else, eventho the sounder was showing some good fish.

decided to move around a little and found some more ground... did a few laps looking at the sounder and said to the boys... some dhus down there.

Pulled up on the lump, said to the boy's 'drop now' and within 15 seconds two dhus hit the deck, both undersize but was a good sign. a good fish dropped just under the boat at the same time, which looked like a nice pinky.

went back for another look over the lump and went a bit further over and noticed a couple big fish on the bottom, said 'more dhus' drop and within 15 seconds again i was on to a better fish. dhu being 66cm and prob 4-5kgs. Was fishing quite light and gave an awesome fight. Very healthy looking male too. this one was for the esky!!

Next drift produced probably the biggest metro flattie i have seem, the pic isnt very good and doesnt do it justice, but would have been 65cm easy.

Another drift and another dhu came up.

Plenty of BIG skippy out there, atleast 1.5kgs+ I'd say and quite a few small black bums.

all in all good morning on the water, plenty of fish, few whales wanted to come say hello and do a bit of showing off. Back to the ramp just after midday
