Shovels away
was a nice long wk end for me having friday and monday off decided it was time for a decent beach fish pack the cars and the whole family were off to mandurah for the day/night went to tims thicket n abit south of that got nothing but reef and lots a couple of rigs. lil brother in law got a couple wirra. and thats it. at least the kids got to have a play in the white wash coming up the beach. Anyway come 7pm moved to dawsville cut for a nil zip nudda there too.....starting to think was a bad idea to go down that way.....mother in law made a chicken soup at the cut was awsome in the cool southerly....next spot any ideas an dolphin quays pops up, anyway headed down there as a last resort still no fish. rigged up had a bait cast got two hits thinking ok maybe fish here......was wrong once again. stuff this I grabbed a handfull of mulies and whole baby squid n went for a walk. 2nd cast FISH ON!!! reel screaming and still no idea what it was. gaff at hand finally managed to get the bugger near the rocks and a decent 1.5m or so shovel nose pops up. happy was an understatement since we had no fish to take hm. The shovel nose went approx 30kg was heavy as sh!#. anyway got back to the car cleaned her up and covered her in ice...
we ended up all movin to the spot I was at and managed to catch 3 more shovels all a tad smaller then the first with plenty of whiting around stripping your baits on no time(if only I had brought the lighter gear).
All In all was a relaxing day and night eventually got hm round 230am for shower n to hit the sack. will think about going back there but for now unless u can show me where the fish are I am yet to get a decent feed out from mandurah. no offence to mandurah FWers. it is a nice place n all.
