Solo Session
Had an annual leave day Thursday so decided to have a solo session out from woodies, didn't leave the ramp till about 7.30am out and anchored on spot by just after 8.00am and got berly pot into the water and two rods out, was going abit quiet till finally first rod buckles over 70cm juvi sambo comes aboard and then released, second rod gets a hit and a nice sized skippy comes over the side a short while later and first rod gets a big hit and after a little fight another juvi sambo comes onto the deck again around the 70cm mark and again released
Managed to get another nice skippy both went just over 50cm, it was now 11.30 and I had just about decided it was time to pull the anchor and move in to the squid grounds, by this time I had only one rod out after being busted off by something I couldn't stop was tidying the boat up abit when noticed a tug on the rod removed the rod from the holder and took the slack out of the line felt some weight so struck and instantly felt the head shakes after a nice little fight a nice fat 64cm pinky was laying on the deck not my biggest but a nice healthy looking fish, not much happened after that so pulled the anchor and headed in and got 6 nice squid for a nice feed very enjoyable morning out back at the ramp by 2.00pm.
Have also put up a couple of pics from last weekend out from woodies with Dirt my PB sambo busted my arse in 6 metres of water awsome fight was abit of a struggle to hold him up for the pic, and Dirt with a very healthy looking pinky 70+ cm.

Casual day
not bad for a casual day out, good stuff can't complain about a feed of squid and snapper.
Old fishermen never die they just smell that way.

Re-Pete fish ruler
Hi Pete,
My missus got it one day when she was getting us some bait and gear from Oceanside to go out for a snapper session, it's great sits on the esky perfect, the girl loves it can unhook fish take a measurement real quick and get the fish back in the water without over stressing it to much.
Great piece of equipment mate!
Cheers

Nice catch mate and good
Nice catch mate and good report, you can clearly see that your snapper is over the legal size on the scales... decent size skippy aswell haven't got one that big for a while.
