I reckon it was probably an even better day on the water today? So a few out wide excursions had?

sore legs
know what you mean after yesterday's session out wide my thighs are killing me guess that's the down side of owning a center console and having to stand to drive(I feel like I have done a couple hundred squats)or perhaps its just that I am an old bugger now

Pretty productive day, left
Pretty productive day, left at 11am from East Fremantle ramp, anchored in a spot that has been pretty reliable. First drop, 32cm skippy that fought like a train. Next, caught a baldchin groper probably 48cm, were going to let it go anyway but line snapped and sinker hit my mate in the face! Will upload pictures later Ended up with 6 big skippy, 10 herring and a couple of yellow-tail for bait. All this 400 metres off south mole! was a pretty good outing for a change

forgot to add that we were
forgot to add that we were fishing 4lb too many fish schooling up didn't even get time to tie on a leeder, just hook straight onto the braid didn't seem to influence the fishing. Forgot the bloody net at home so lifed a few fish almost into the boat...
Snapped line! so frustrating
The moment the sinker attacked us ^^

when you comin to the islands John? I was trying to get a father son trip happening with a couple of mates this weekend but couldnt get any takers.
Should have just gone with my 2 anyway, magic night tonite and we would have covered halfway travelling today anyhow.

Would have been the worst
Would have been the worst tasting baldie ever there Bruce. Please don't tell us that's a blue lined emperor there on the bow. Brings up the old argument of people not knowing what there catching/keeping.

Don't know what fish your
Don't know what fish your looking at it is a butterfish. You boys are quick to make assumptions. I knew exactly what went in the bucket. Don't get ahead of yourselves

Think they are referring to
Think they are referring to the wrassy lookin fish in the last pic. Was wonderin what the other keeper you had, are those butterfish ok on the chew?
I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

Should've gone to spec-savers
Kept skippy, herring, yellow tail and a butterfish. Personally I only eat the skippy and the bigger herring but the mate who kept the butter reckons its a fairly clean fish and tastes a bit like herring. Yellow tail for bait or for the other buddy who doesn't mind them. I think they are too fiddly and small to eat but each to their own

Dunsborough
We launched from old Dunsborough ramp, went around the cape well wide, slow day really, managed 11 Sambos, 2 Queen snapper, 2 black arse, 1 undersized Dhuie and 6 undersized Pinkies. Loads Sargent baker that went as bait, and a Pig fish which I'll try for the first time. 4 rods though and a long day, mainly on plastics, a few on jigs and bait.
Lifes a game but fishing is serious !!!

Shot out Friday arvo for lano bash sea-kem. Awesome weather tuff current. Started off slow in the 60's with 1 solid fish lost then big tiger decided to hang round so moved into 50's around 4oclock. By 6 we had caught 9 dhuies (biggest only nudging about 9kg) 4 good baldies and solid snapper every other drop. Surprisingly no black arse

Night Mission
We headed out from my place in Beckenham around 6 and got into the water at woodies around 6:45, headed to a pretty well known spot on the shipping channel and had two boats each probably 100mts to our north and south on the contour line. We got to the spot and I got the boys to deploy anchor then set the burley pot, since I was already rigged up I put down two whole squid on a paternosta. Ben and Mat seemed to take forever to get lines in but eventually we were all in. I settled back, cracked a beer and put on some tunes and settled in for a bit. It was pretty slow going on the big baits, but they did seem to be getting a knock from time to time. Ben started the talk about moving spots and we had the usual debate about letting the burley work when Bens small outfit goes off. Straight off hes set the hooks and its giving him some real curry on his whiting rod, soon hes calling it for a pink, when after a few good runs, up pops a gummy.
Sure enough in the fight the bugger has managed to tangle every line we werent quick enough to retrieve so after welcoming the gummy to the club I started untangling our lines. Bens now waxing lyrical about the spot when his bigger rod goes off, which I had managed to untangle first. Mat and I are now both cursing Ben for being a arsey lucky bastard and letting him know that this time if he could avoid tangling our lines, the anchor, the burley pot, the leg it would really be appreciated. By now I have all lines untangled and up pops Bens second gummy in 5 mins which is also welcomed into the club. The first one had been put into the esky and had settled down so I started finning, trunking and gutting him. Bens rod goes off again and this time its a Port Jackson which was released. I just finished the first one and was starting the second when another boat pulls up from about 400mts to our north telling us a 4 mt Great White had just been quite aggressive nudging the outboard and back of the vessel.
Im looking into the water where a two heads, fins, blood and guts have just disappeared into the depths and think to myself, ill just wash my hands on a rag this time. Ben and Mat were both pretty keen to pull the pin, Ben wanted to at least move to a different spot, but Mat didnt really want a bar of being out on the sound in a 4mt glass dinghy with 4 mt noahs around so we pulled anchor and headed for home. Ben started to think about his lack of fishing opportunities on the way back and convinced Mat that we should at least have a drift along the rockwalls at hendersen. But basically we got nothing else for the night and were back at the ramp by 9:15ish.
We need a bigger boat cause it was seriously shaping up to be a top night on the sound prior to the bloody shark!
