Hey Guys,
Just a quick report from Whitey's charter last Thursday. Apologies for the late reply but im pretty sure ive only just caught up on sleep from this day!
Anyway Chrisp, Daz, JohnF, Schecky, Gweedo and myself headed up Wednesday night to get a good sold 14.5-15min sleep the night before to awake a nice early 0330 start. A series of different events happened which was due to the lack of sleep, but these best to stay at hush....
Steaming out in pitch black on our way to tease some dolly's and tease them we did. With McArthy's and sinking sticks to be their downfall. As most of you already know Chrisp' standout bull was at the top of the list, with JohnF getting his first which showed to be a handsome fish also.
After they shut down, a hunt out in the 200m+ was worth a jig as a few nice pinks of ~650-700mm hit the surface with Hotdog's coming up trumps. After the deep jig back the Red FM FAD for more action, size dropped off a little but we still managed some line tearing fun!
After that we belted into some more general ground to sink some lumps of lead in hope of some demersals. Good start with the Scheckanator getting his first Baldie on Inchiku untill the Mr Sambo turned up and rods were buckled and reels were smoking as some were lost and some solid fish around ~12-15kg we boated on PE2 & 3. A noteable catch of the little Gweedo's Sambo of around 20kg on the light stuff!
A move of spot was in order as donating expensive jigs to sambos wasn't fun for me. A good move it was with the Dazman jigging up a solid Dhu and his PB Dhu at just shy of 14kg, taken on a IMA Ro. He was chuffed to say the least after been a banana bender for so long. Whitey managed a lil pup Dhu and a few other odds and sodds including B/A, Goatfish, Pinks and another top Baldie. The Dazman finished the day off with a koota little pinky around the 550mm mark.
All in all, was a good day and yep 'tis true, Whitey knows his shit! Heres a coupla pics for you all. I between being camera bitch all day, i highly enjoyed loosing jigs and PE to the the local Sambo and suspected Dhu town late in the day. Was not my day....
Cheers,
Sam

Great fishing guys. What is
Great fishing guys. What is it with baldies always bringing their guts up... for such a tough fish they're pretty soft inside.
And wicked catch on the Lemax Blue Mountain Chris, that rod has pulled in some killer fish.

Ben, give him a rod with some backbone so his mates don't have to wait half an hour for a him to land a herring. He could do with a ferrari stick.

Some good fish there again,
Some good fish there again! I'm pretty familiar with the struggle getting the big boys up on noodle sticks, the buggers just turn on their side in the current under the boat. Alfred banned noodle sticks from his boat ;)
