Saturday off Mindarie

 With two rocks still closed we went looking for some new ground out of mindarie on Saturday. Found a nice little lump in 38m and dropped a couple descent fish amongst a few undersized dhus, a nice baldy, coupe blackarse and heaps of rat sambos until my mate Pez land this big fat dhu. Went 1050mm and 18.3kg when weighed back home after it threw up its stomach including a whole occy and being bled. It was so fat and the biggest dhu I've seen in the flesh and we were all sure we finally had a 20 club member....but no. Need to get some scales on the boat I think. Didn't land anything else after this one

Huge! Musta been like lifting a bus off the bottom, a head shaking bus that is. Bait or artificial?

 Bait. Had a big first run away from the boat which is quite unusual for dhufish in my experience.

Nice fish! So jelous, all we ever seem to get is either undersize or just legal models. Well done!

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:

n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or

n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
