Sunday fish with fw members
Well the weather had changed a little with north winds ,and north tide made for a quick drift and a full on job holding on the ground .Had a couple of members come for the ride Mat T and ToT both from the site.Jody and Jesse and myself made up the five .The plan was to get out to the 80-90m line but that changed once we got out ten mile ,as the wind was around 15knots and i made the call to stay inside direction and try some dhu ground .I have just fitted the new furuno 587 to the boat so was keen to try it out.The first spot and a recarture and three small dhuies,all released.we moved from patch to patch with fish of some sort coming from most ground .Found some new stuff with the sounder so will try that next time out .Was a bit of a job holding over the ground but it did ease of after lunch .We ended up getting our bag 2x dhuies,4 baldies 1x breaksea,1x snapper,1x foxfish 1xblacktip shark released,1xcarpet shark released,10-15 sargent baker and other small fish.Also (two recaptures and two tagged fish returned.)one of the tagged fish we caught last sunday was in top condition see if we get him next week.Anyway top day and good company enjoy the pics.

Unreal day!
Paul, I had the time of my life on Sunday mate! First Dhu, Baldie, Foxfish for me too! Mate, Jesse was a gun - bloody huge Dhu and then a Snapper on the 20lb. What was that little fish I pulled up that was a northern species?
Great day Paul, thanks for everything! Also a big thanks to Jody, Jesse and ToT for help with my rigs and knots - I've been practicing!

Awesome
Great skippering Paul. Looks like a great day was had by all. I'm looking forward to some Perth Metro fishing next year. I've still got a few pacific blues up here with my name on them yet though.
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.

Some good fish - any chance
Some good fish - any chance of some screen shots of the 587 in action some time?
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
