Shallow water suprise
Submitted by Notorious on Wed, 2014-02-05 09:40
After covering over 100km in the boat yesterday, checks 3 spots with no fish htting the esky (2 fads are missing too) this guy was a pleasant suprise and welcome addition to the esky. Freediving Rotto, in around 4-5m of water.

Which FADs are missing?
I am surprised they dont fight back at that size. A blue swimmer crab would.

nice cray,
feel your pain we only covered about 30 kays out the back of the 3 mile, no macks and no good signs, put the pick down, young Gareth [F/W]was with me, he did catch 2 small pinkies and had 3 bust offs, you go light and big fish take it, had heavier tackle out and they wont touch it, nice day out though.
all aggressive fish love bigjohnsjigs
