Took the HMAS tub out on Sunday for a quick two hour sesh which turned out to be wicked fun, and the weather made the trip very pleasant and we even managed to stay moderately dry. We left bathers beach at around 11:30 while a fluffy north wester was blowing but it was still very pleasant, we trolled out for around 30mins until we hit around 20m where we dropped anchor and started chucking mulies, unfortunately the breeze wasn’t ideal for a good burly trail but it was light enough for the burly to sink down and attract some of the bottom species. After 15mins of waiting the whiting really came on the bite and the size wasn’t bad with the average size being around 25cm, along with the whiting the pinkies really came on and they ended up being bit of a pain with the average size being no more than 20cm. However after this we didn’t get much of a chance to catch fish because the rays came on and two casts resulted in two rays which were good fun and were very entertaining with the boat being pulled around in circles, once it hit 1 we had orders to come in, and one of the funniest things I have seen happened. Ollie had his legs over the edge cooling off from the intense heat when he turns to me and looks out the back to see a fin coming flying towards the boat, all I can say is did his feet come in quick or what. haha we continued to trow out baits and mulies but he took off so we left minutes later, overall it was a very pleasant couple of hours and I cant wait to get back out there and test out some more drag.

Heres a little video ollie put together unfortunately we didn’t get the shark on film but we got some good footage of the rays. Enjoy
