After seeing that the weather looked pretty nice on saturday night i decided to give the pinkies a crack in the sound. Got out at about 4pm and seen about 30 odd boats group together including the pro snapper boat so i got my hopes up. Sounded around the boats for about an hour but no schools to be seen :(. Went over to CBH for a crack anchored and waited around for about 2 hours without a sniff but wasnt going to give up so out to the D9 it was and sat on that from 7pm until 2 without a bite and decided to call it a night so in with the lines and hit the hay. Woke up at 5 and sounded around for another 2 hours and still no schools so very dissapointed and tired i went home. Slept from 10 until 5 then got a call from my mate saying hes going to have a crack for some pinkies of the beach and i couldnt resist so set the gear back up and left at 6:30 to a beach somewhere between rockingham and mandurah ;). The wind was howling the moon and tides were right so we were looking pretty good to get one although i did say that the night before aswell. After a few hours and a lot of seaweed finally got a hookup after a really weak fight that only took about 5m of line a big pink head came through the little breakers and i knew ide finally got one. My mate leadered him up on to the beach measured 90cm and 9kg took a whole scaly mackeral. Stayed for another few hours but no more interest. Its my first pinkie for the season and my first decent fish off the beach.
