I got another chance to go fishing with my brother and sister in law last night. It was on the wrong side of the moon after the closed season had finished so we didn't have high expectations. Things started slowly too until we found a patch of Nannygai and after that they started coming over the side with good regularity.

Some highlights were the double hook up I got with one fish coming on an Undertaker jig head with Macarthy soft plastic. It was a good fish too so was pretty stoked. Pity the other one was a Slatey bream.

The best bit though had to be the finish. On our way home Mick drifted 4 Wonky holes and we got 5 quality Large Mouth Nannygai (Saddle tail snapper) to over 9 kilos. The drifts involved no more than two per spot and on one Mick was simply happy with the one fish on the first drop. All 5 fish hit within seconds of touchdown making this particular session all of about 15 minutes.

To top it off he decided to check out a favourite headland spot on the way home and see if there was any Fingermark (Golden snapper) about. Within 2 minutes a big Live squid came to the light and was netted and sent back down on my line. Within another 2 minutes I was hooked up. Fingermark number 1 was followed in a similar fashion by Fingermark number 2 a couple of minutes later. Then came number three and number 4 to make it 9 solid fish in the space of about 30 minutes. The biggest Fingermark was 80 cm.

It was an awesome trip for an inshore one and we lost count of the fish tally with a few more in a crate next to the ones shown. We had to keep running away from the Small Mouth nannygai (Crimson snapper) to find the Saddles. It was over 30 fish with the rest thrown in.

Once again my custom Phenix Titan was absolutley brilliant and I'm loving this rod big time. Matched with a Stella 5000 and 50lb braid it is a weapon.
