Saturdays effort

 Ended up going for it on Saturday 

 

Tookthe new tub out for her maiden salt water voyage,  ended up putting in at Hillarys, about 8am, only one other boat launching, no que, went out to back of 3 mile, tried our luck on the  troll to no avail due to getting weeded out so started a bit of a search for a lump. Found one and anchored slightly up wind of it. Started berley trail with pollard oil Premix and cubed mulies with a couple of frames in a mesh bag. Berly for about an hour, pull up half a dozen king wrasse and at least that many brownies. As well as a baby bullseye. One Mate's rod goes off then bust , 2 mins later other boys rod goes off and he's on! 10 mins later a dhu is on the surface to calls of 'get the net'. Oops we left the net at home. Ended up landing a 59cm dhu in a milk crate. Fished that spot a bit more and a couple other spots for a few more wrasse. Bait used was a quarter of a mulie. Came in nice and early  packed away at home by 330!

Cool as, woulda been fun on that gear, do the same at night and you get zero wrasse whilst the dhus and pinks are out feeding
