Rottnest 12-04-05
Headed to Rotto this morning for a salmon bash.. after about 45 mins of nothing and a strengthening westerly a big hit came with 25 meters of line being ripped off before the fish knew it was hooked, soon as it found out it was hooked, we lost another 60 mtrs of 12 kg before the braid snapped.. suspected culprit was a good sized spaniard or decent tuna.. about 2 minutes after that the surface lure went off and we managed to hold onto a decent sized dolly that was going ballistic to try and shake the hooks, plenty of aerials and a decent show and hooked only in 35 ft of water.. we bailed after that as the wind came up too much and there was a good sized swell running out at west end, it may not look like it in the photo, but it was pretty hairy at stages in close to the reefs..
