I was starting to get abit crazy as I hadn't been fishing in weeks I had even started casting in the lounge room which isn't the best idea with brand new hooks. So before work I loaded the boat with my berley and rods had bait in a bag ready to grab in the freezer, knocked off work and raced home and headed down to woodies. The weather looked OK but as I headed out it got better so was pretty stoked picked my spot just off the western edge of the reef out on the sand and got to work getting the burley going. The current was really strong  so I had to cut my rigs and add a small ball sinker I was getting worried it wasn't going to be my night as the burley was getting pushed west at a rate of knots.

Then on sunset my lighter rod got afew taps I grabbed it and cranked the handle a couple of turns bang connection a quick tussle and I see what I thought was a just under snapper but when I put him on the lie detector it went 52 so sorted him out and into the esky. Cast out again and within a couple of minutes the same rod buckles over peeling off line then stops, spewing wound in to find the bottom hook of the snell rig gone so I just started putting half mulie's on that rod.

Things went quiet for awhile caught a stingray, bastard new rig required then at 6:30 my heavier rod is bend over grabbed it and set the hooks and line starts peeling off straight away I could tell it was a snapper and not a bad one a good fight with plenty of runs in the 13m we were in and I netted a 82cm model was pretty stoked to say the least and was having abit of trouble getting the fish out of the net when my rod with the half mulie bends in half and is peeling out line another good fight with me trying to fight the fish with one hand and use the other to try and get the other fish out of the net, got the fish to the boat 3 times but could not get the other fish out of the net and eventually the fish which was about the same size as the other chaffed through the 40lb leader oh well I was going to release it anyway as I had my 2. Was a great hour and a half session in the end and back at the ramp by 7.
