That Shallow Stuff
Out this morning we were greeted with "white horses" for a good part of the whole morning.
Fishing the 25m mark for King george, just behind 3 mile reef.
First couple of drifts we did without a drift anchor, and it was impossible to hold bottom, and it was a pretty big chop about 1m at this stage.
After slowing down are drift we started to get onto a few fish, but nothing huge.
Undersize pinkies, skippy and other reef creatures were pretty common. Persisting we managed to bag a few more reef fish and a small sambo, which proved fun on the light gear.
A few more drifts and we had foxfish, 1 Kg, a few undersize dhuies, leatherjacket. And finally we hooked upto what we though was a decent fish, with a 15min fight, a big ray came into view...
Finished the day catching more small pinkies, gold spotted sweetlip, skippy and wrasse.
Released majority of the fish, but came home with a feed.

Hi Ya, Absolute mongrels
Hi Ya,
Absolute mongrels to clean 'cause they are so slippery, but personally, I don't mind them. Quite a mild flavour.
