Saturday Report
Headed out yesterday with Simo_ and was greeted with some rediculously flat water pretty much all day! haven't seen it this flat for ages...
Anyway we launched about 830 (gentleman hours), the boat ramp car park was almost full!
We headed straight out to the containers and did a bit of jigging, took a while to located a small school which ended up being small amberjacks, first fish i bought up was a little amberjack which had been attacked by a shark. After Simo dropped down again and once again got sharked we moved on.
Headed into the late 80s early 90s looking for some bottom fish. You know its a good day when you can either driftbait or use an 8oz sinker in 90m of water.
First drop down, i hooked up and landed this nice double
Queeny and B/A
Next drop down Simo hooked up and once he landed another queeny it was quite obvious that we had found a nice school of them, kept 1 out of 4 just to try and see how they taste
Simon's nice Queeny
Biggest for the day 80cm and 6kg (looks even bigger with GoGo gadget arms eh?
)
Anyway moved on to try some other spots in similar depth about 15 odd mile away, on the way found some more ground and pulled a U/S dhuie off which released fine.
Got to another spot and pulled anothe U/S dhu, a couple of pan (45-50cm) pinks and a hooter red
2.2kg of Goldfish
Was about 7pm by this stage and the wind has picked up a little but still managed to boot in and got to the ramp just as it was getting dark!
Cheers for a good day on the water Simon, spewin' i still crack that double digit dhu...
Cheers,
Sam

queenies arent too bad as long as you bleed and cut out the red meat from the shoulder and along the seem of the fillet

sweet
yeah sam nice catches and good photos.
the water was flat as f yesterday, but i was stuck in the que of boats for the rotto swim, for 7 hours.
if i hadnt have been roped into that, it would have been a fads run for sure.
however, today was a different story.... comin back in a 22 knot southerly made the boys spew.

Top report...
...good to finally see somebody 'fess up about the "gadget" arms! The West Australian fishing writer got sucked in a few years ago by what he reckoned was one of the biggest flathead ever seen in WA waters...was just the longest arms!
Still a beaut queenie though. They are an acquired taste and you guys did the right thing in taking just the one to see how it goes on the plate. Better than the "kill it first, ask questions later" mentality!
